Noting that our Party and the people have achieved firmer unity through this year's arduous struggle for overcoming manifold hardships, the editorial goes on:

The sincerity of the Party for the people and the people's faith and trust in the leader have been fully displayed every day and month of this year, creating a story about the great integral whole of the leader, the Party and the people.

It is a shining fruition of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un's experienced leadership that this year has been glorified as a year of struggle, advance and unity, not the one of disaster and calamity.

Severer trials and hardships may disturb our advance. However, no challenge and obstacle can ever overpower our spiritual strength and the tremendous might of the single-hearted unity that get stronger in the face of ordeals.

All the Party members, working people and service personnel should achieve fresh victories of Juche Korea, firmly united with one idea and will.

We should deeply cherish the philosophy that the day of prosperity will surely come when we follow and trust our Supreme Leader.

We should overcome today's difficult situation by dint of collectivism, the proud national climate created throughout generations.

The editorial calls on all the people to wage a more intensive struggle, firmly united around the Supreme Leader, to make great achievements of loyalty for the Eighth Congress of the Party.
