Today when the DPRK has ranked itself with dignity among political and military powers, it presents itself as an urgent task for them to build a highly civilized country along with robust economic construction, the editorial says, and goes on:

A shortcut to building a powerful socialist country is to usher in an overall heyday on all the fields of the cultural construction, including education, public health, literature and art and sports.

The DPRK is demonstrating its dignity as the only state in the world which has successfully fulfilled the fundamental and crucial tasks of building a prosperous and independent state.

A powerful spur given to building a highly civilized socialist country will precisely lead to the advancement and development of the DPRK onto a higher stage and the hurrahs for socialism. Only when all the fields of building a highly civilized country are put on the level desired by the Party ranging from the mental and moral traits and costumes to culinary culture, will it be possible for the people living in the great motherland to cherish stronger pride and self-esteem and to further manifest the advantages and might of Korean-style socialism.

We have valuable traditions and powerful potentials for spurring the building of a highly civilized socialist country at a fast pace.

The editorial calls on all to dynamically step up the construction of a highly civilized socialist country so as to turn our country into a socialist paradise envied by the world.
