Printed on the upper part of the sheet is "Let us open a new road of advance for socialist construction under the uplifted banner of self-reliance!", a slogan to be held up by the Korean people this year.

The sheet carries a stamp depicting working people determined to bring about a revolutionary upswing on all fronts of socialist construction against the background of national flag and national tree-pine.

Reflected in individual stamps carrying teachings of the Supreme Leader are the tasks advanced in the New Year Address to further strengthen the might of the independent socialist economy, consolidate the politico-ideological strength of our socialist state in every way, step up the construction of a highly-civilized socialist country and bolster up the national defence capabilities.

And they represent the tasks facing the respective sectors to promote talent training and sci-tech development purposefully and improve the people's standard of living radically.

Displayed in a stamp depicting the Korean map and white pigeons against the background of the globe under the slogan "Let us usher in a heyday of peace, prosperity and reunification of the Korean peninsula by thoroughly implementing the historic north-south declarations!" are the task for the development of north-south relations and the national reunification and the foreign political stand of the DPRK set forth in the New Year Address.
