It is the bounden duty and obligation of all our people to most grandly and significantly celebrate the 70th founding anniversary of the DPRK, the editorial says, and goes on:

Though there are many countries in the world, the DPRK is the only country where everything serves the people who are regarded as Heaven and all the policies of the Party and state have been pursued to realize dreams and ideal of the people on the principle of attaching top priority to them.

Thanks to the benevolent socialist country, our people have enjoyed an independent and dignified life and created a beautiful life full of confidence and optimism while overcoming unprecedented ordeals in the history for decades.

It will be a very significant event to celebrate the 70th birthday of the DPRK, the socialist country which is the greatest patriotic legacy of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and the eternal cradle for the generations to come.

The first half of the year strikingly showed our people's revolutionary will to greet the 70th anniversary of the DPRK with high political enthusiasm and proud labor successes.

We should push ahead with the general offensive, not slackening the elated spirit even a bit.

We should display fireworks of victory in the blue sky in September through steady offensive, braving any difficulty and hardships.

We will surely emerge victorious as there are the wise leadership of the great Party and the army and people with inexhaustible strength enough to flatten even a mountain and empty a sea if the Party wishes.
