The editorial goes on:

The Supreme Leader's New Year Address serves as an inspiring banner that gives the confidence in sure victory to the Korean army and people.

He in the New Year Address proudly declared that we have realized the wish of the great leaders who devoted all their life to providing the strongest national defence capability for reliably safeguarding the country's sovereignty, and we have created a mighty sword for defending peace, as desired by all our people who had to tighten their belts for long years.

He also set forth the revolutionary slogan "Let us launch a revolutionary general offensive to achieve fresh victory on all fronts of building a powerful socialist country!" and clearly indicated the tasks and ways for this year's struggle.

No force on the earth can block the vigorous advance of Juche Korea as it is under the outstanding and tested guidance of the Workers' Party of Korea which leads our style socialism to victory, weathering the tempest of history in the van, and its army and people are steadily carrying into practice the idea and resolution of the Party Central Committee.

The editorial calls upon all the people to achieve a fresh victory on all the fronts of building a powerful socialist country this significant year, in hearty response to the New Year Address of the Supreme Leader.
