Today the Korean revolution is making greater strides despite stern ordeals and difficulties, the editorial notes, and goes on:

The hostile forces are getting desperate in their moves to check the dynamic advance of the DPRK dashing like wind toward attainment of the high goal of building a powerful socialist nation. Such situation requires making sincerer and greater efforts to give full play to the ideological and mental strength of the popular masses responsible for the revolution and construction. To prioritize ideology and give precedence to ideological work serves as an eternal strategy of the Korean revolution and a guarantee of victory.

The Supreme Leader visited the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt Paektu again, fully demonstrating his steel-strong will to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche by regarding as lifeline the banner of independence and the revolutionary line of self-prosperity held aloft at the beginning of the Korean revolution.

The path we are taking is the path of the Juche revolution pioneered in Mt Paektu and it is only the revolutionary traditions of Paektu that we must preserve and carry forward to the end. There will never be a stain in purity of the revolutionary traditions, no matter how many times one generation may be replaced by another and no matter what manifold ordeals we may face.

The Workers' Party of Korea is unshakable in its will to preserve, carry forward and develop the glorious revolutionary traditions started in Mt Paektu for all ages, tide over the difficulties facing the revolution and pave the path toward victory and prosperity by dint of the great traditions.
