Songgang Exalts Might of Single-Minded Unity
Pyongyang, January 21 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il has placed the workers of the Songjin Steel Complex (Songgang), who have established a Juche-based steel-making system, in the van of a great revolutionary upsurge in the Songun era.

The indomitable mental power of the workers, performers of the great feat, has helped invigorate the campaign for a great revolutionary upsurge throughout the country.

They had also kindled the torch of Songgang with an indefatigable will in the period of the "Arduous March," the forced march.

In the period the Korean people were working in the worst conditions caused by the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the country and their economic blockade against it and by years of natural disasters.

Furnaces of the complex had not worked properly for the lack of electricity and raw and other materials.

At that time Kim Jong Il visited the complex. Saying steel industry was as important as ever in economic construction so that it should continue to be given priority, he called on the workers of the complex, who had upheld the Workers' Party of Korea with increased steel production whenever the country was in hard times, to stand in the van of a great upsurge by advancing at the speed of Chollima once again.

Encouraged by his call, they have brought out a radical boost in production by overcoming all difficulties in the revolutionary soldier spirit and even made a huge oxygen plant.

All the workers of the country, regarding the leader's confidence in the workers of the complex as just one in them, have made world-startling miracles and merits in production and construction.

All the achievements made by the Korean workers are a precious fruit of the single-minded unity between the leader and people.
