Rodong Sinmun says that in order to glorify 2018 as a year of great victory, all the people should make redoubled efforts and wage a more dynamic campaign with revolutionary optimism.

It goes on:

Kim Jong Un's guidance serves as the vibrant might of powerful socialist Korea and as the invincible banner of the Korean revolution.

The U.S. imperialists and their vessel forces are now making every desperate effort to break our army and people's steadfast faith in the Party and their firm confidence in victory and optimism, fearing them most.

In the face of such last-ditch efforts of the enemies, all the party members, servicepersons and people should more vigorously struggle, full of confidence in victory and optimism and thus display the mettle of the heroic Korean people carrying into practice the plan and decision of the Party Central Committee.

The paper stresses the need for all the people to make a dynamic advance toward the final victory in building a powerful socialist country while displaying the valiant mettle of heroic Korea under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Minju Joson says that this year will be a year of another victory for the Korean people led by Kim Jong Un.
