Ri Ui Gu, vice-president of the State Academy of Sciences, told KCNA:

I was deeply moved to see that the respected Supreme Leader swore to become a true servant loyal to his people who faithfully supports them with a pure conscience and work with devotion to ensure that the past era in which all the people used to sing the song "We Are the Happiest in the World", feeling optimistic about the future with confidence in the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, does not remain as a moment in history but is re-presented in the present era.

Receiving the New Year Address, all the people of the country are filled with gratitude to Kim Jong Un and confidence in the final victory as they are convinced that what he intends and wishes will be sure to be materialized.

Jo Ju Yong, manager of the Pyongyang Thermal Power Complex, said:

Upon receiving the historic New Year Address, we are full of deep emotion.

In the New Year Address, the respected Supreme Leader said that in this significant year, by further encouraging the revolutionary spirit that was heightened to an incomparable degree in the course of the previous miraculous year, we should make remarkable progress in the implementation of the decisions adopted at the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea and thus translate the people's ideals and dreams into brilliant reality on this land.

All the workers of the complex are firmly determined to concentrate their efforts on implementing the five-year strategy for national economic development, upholding the slogan "Let us accelerate the victorious advance of socialism with the great spirit of self-reliance and self-development as the dynamic force!" set forth by Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address.
