150-day Campaign in Full Swing
Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The 150-day campaign is sweeping all over the DPRK.

The campaign is a great historical undertaking to open up this year a bright vista for the final victory in the building of a great, prosperous and powerful nation.

The Korean people are all out in endeavors to decisively break the peak records at any cost in all sectors of the national economy during the campaign.

The workers in the sector of the metal industry, pillar of the independent socialist economy, are bringing about an unprecedented upswing in production in the van of a new great revolutionary upsurge.

While launching the campaign in May the Chollima Steel Complex, the Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex and other metal factories increased steel output 1.2 times and rolled steel output 1.3 times compared with those in the previous month and the workers of the Musan, Jaeryong and Unryul turned out iron ore more than 2.5 times that in the previous month.

During the campaign, the electricity producers in various parts of the country raised the power production remarkably as against pre-campaign period with a determination to become victors in the efforts for building the thriving nation.

The workers in the sector of the coal industry, the lifeline of economic development, made every possible effort, with the result that they excavated over 300,000 more tons of coal in May than the previous month to send to various fields of the national economy.

All other sectors such as railway transportation, light industry, mining, machine-building, chemistry and forestry sectors are increasing production in the spirit with which they had achieved signal successes in the fulfillment of their national economic plans for May.

The agricultural working people are doing farming as required by the Juche farming method with a firm determination to solve the food problem by themselves at any cost.

The vibrant reality of the country seething with the new great revolutionary upsurge clearly demonstrates more strikingly the true feature of single-minded unity in which the leader, guiding the present final charge in the van and making a forced march of field guidance, the soldiers and people are working in perfect accord.

The Korean people, with the might of single-minded unity, will make a breakthrough for the victory in the building of the powerful nation through the 150-day campaign of Juche 98 (2009) and thus brilliantly adorn the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
