Kim Jong Un's New Year Address.

The statement said:

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address reviewed proud successes registered by the Korean people last year and advanced the slogan "Let us open a new road of advance for socialist construction under the uplifted banner of self-reliance!" to bring about a revolutionary upswing on all fronts of socialist construction.

Last year a peaceful climate was created on the Korean peninsula and the international prestige of the DPRK was remarkably enhanced thanks to the proactive efforts of the DPRK.

We are rejoiced at this.

We express full support for the proposals for developing the north-south relations and ensuring peace on the Korean peninsula which were set forth by Comrade Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address.

The DPRK which celebrated its 70th founding anniversary in splendor will carry forward the brilliant history of the revolutionary cause of Juche in the future, too.

We hope that the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people will achieve creditable successes in the struggle for the socialist construction and the reunification of the country under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un.
