Rodong Sinmun says that all the people across the country are fully displaying their ardent loyalty and patriotism in the general advance for opening up a new phase of upswing for national prosperity with the great pride and confidence of having splendidly celebrated the 70th anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War as a grand festival of victors.

It goes on:

Steadfast is the will of all the people to bring about greater miracles and victory in all fields of socialist construction by dint of loyalty and patriotism no matter what severe difficulties are obstructing the way of advance.

The great strength of loyalty and patriotism is the basic source of the invincible political and ideological position of our state.

It is the advantage peculiar to our country that all the people, firmly united with one ideology and will, virtue and affection, put their heart and soul into making contributions to the prosperity of the country. It is the motive power for all miracles on this land. During the days of dynamically advancing with the great strength of loyalty and patriotism under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, we have achieved encouraging and progressive successes to be proud of in all fields, including Party building, defence of national interests and development of economy and civilization.

Our Party and state are now faced with difficult and important tasks to be implemented - making bolder efforts for bringing about rural prosperity in the new era, promoting the construction in the capital city, fulfilling the five-year plan for the national economic development and giving top priority to the bolstering of the national defence capabilities to infinitely increase the absolute strength.

Our Party and state set forth unprecedentedly important state tasks for transformation, which others can never think of, and have successfully carried them out, thanks to the noble loyalty and patriotism of all the people.

Minju Joson calls upon all the officials and working people to turn out in the struggle to speed up the comprehensive development of Korean-style socialism in the high spirits of victor that splendidly celebrated July 27, the great V-Day.
