Rodong Sinmun says that billions of women in the world observe the March 8 International Women's Day but the world does not know such women as the Korean women who greet the day with great pride and honor of leading a genuine worthwhile and happy life.

Noting that the movement of the Korean women has been adorned with proud victory and glory under the wise guidance of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, the paper goes on:

Today our women' ideological and mental qualities are very excellent. Our women are playing a big role in opening a broad avenue to building a powerful socialist nation by giving full play to the traits of devotedly implementing the Party's policies, the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and the way of working in a tenacious, methodical, steady and diligent manner.

They are genuine revolutionaries who have single-mindedly upheld the leaders with loyalty and absolute trust.

It is their unshakable creed that the victory in the revolution and prosperity of all generations depend on following Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

They are ardent patriots who have devoted themselves to building a prosperous country.

The history of the DPRK, which broke through unprecedented trials, clearly remembers the great feats performed by our women.

Our women are gardeners who have finely cultivated the grand flower garden of socialism with warm love and affection.

Minju Joson calls upon all the women to confidently make a dynamic advance for the prosperity of the socialist country, saying that rosy future is in store for them for being led by the great leader and the great party.
