All the officials, Party members and other working people should carry through the militant task for this year given by the Party and achieve victories on all the fronts of building a powerful socialist nation, the editorial says, and goes on:

When all the sectors and units of the country unconditionally carry out their tasks for this year, they can glorify the exploits of the Party which has won great victories to be recorded in the history of the country and make a big step forward for implementing the decision of the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea. To successfully conclude this year's drive is very important and responsible for bigger victory and progress in the significant next year.

The general offensive to hit the targets for this year is a battle of dealing telling blow at the desperate offensive of the brigandish U.S. imperialists and defending the dignity of the socialist country, the cradle of our life and happiness.

We should successfully conclude this year's drive and thus display the invincibility of Juche Korea dashing toward the final victory under the banner of independence and self-reliance and self-development despite the worst difficulties.
