The offensive spirit of Mt Paektu is the epitome of the history of the Korean revolution which has recorded the immortal heroic epic in the face of the harshest challenges and dangerous difficulties, and a fundamental guarantee for earlier building of a powerful socialist country by our own efforts and style, the article notes, and goes on:

The offensive spirit of Mt Paektu is a banner of struggle and advance for the victory in the on-going offensive for making a breakthrough head-on.

The spirit is an unyielding charging spirit for breaking through head-on the barriers to advance, spirit of self-reliance for realizing our lofty aspiration and ideal by strengthening in every way our own force, the internal motive force, and spirit of uninterrupted advance and innovation for encouraging the revolution to make a ceaseless leaping forward without a moment's stagnation and standstill. Advance of the DPRK means dash in the offensive spirit of Mt Paektu, and the victory of the DPRK means the victory of the spirit of Mt Paektu.

The on-going offensive is just a fierce showdown with the U.S. and its following forces trying to stifle the DPRK's sovereignty and rights to existence and development.

The spirit is a revelation of a firm consciousness of independence for making a breakthrough head-on for the defence of the sovereignty of the country and nation without an inch of retreat and defence.

The Korean people will hold on to the offensive spirit of Mt Paektu, which has made the Korean revolution ever-victorious at every juncture of vicissitudes of the country and nation, as a treasured sword, and surely build a powerful and prosperous socialist country of Juche on this land.

It is the fixed faith and will of the Workers' Party of Korea to break through head-on the difficulties ever known in history, defend to the last the sovereignty and supreme interests of the country and open a broad avenue for achieving prosperity by dint of self-reliance, concludes the article.
