Let us accelerate our advance with a steadfast and active pioneering spirit -- this is the requirement of the times and the revolution, the editorial says, and goes on:

The staunch and active pioneering spirit is the unyielding offensive spirit of unhesitatingly breaking through any critical situation in the vanguard to defend the ideology and authority of the Party Central Committee. It is also the spirit of boundless devotion to fulfill the leading and vanguard role in the struggle for carrying out the plan and determination of the Party Central Committee, regarding it as the requirement of the revolution and the inherent duty in life, and the spirit of uninterrupted innovations and progress to make redoubled and strenuous efforts for greater successes without resting on the laurels.

It is the steadfast determination of the WPK to build a socialist power, ideal society of the people prospering with self-reliance and self-respect, without fail in the near future.

The building of socialism of our own style has vigorously advanced despite ordeals along the victorious path indicated by the historic Eighth Congress of the Party and the plenary meetings of the Party Central Committee. It has entered a crucial stage of carrying out the tasks of the fourth year in implementing the five-year plan.

Now that a full-scale struggle to secure a clear practical guarantee for implementing the five-year plan is comprehensively staged on all fronts of socialist construction, the prestige of the Party congress and the success of overall national rejuvenation hinge on the officials.

All officials should more dynamically usher in a new era of comprehensive state development by fulfilling their roles in the vanguard of the on-going struggle with a staunch and positive pioneering spirit, mindful of the heavy responsibilities they have assumed before the Party and the revolution, the country and its people.
