Last year General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to many industrial projects throughout the country, including the construction site of the Huichon Power Station, encouraging the people to do their best for the betterment of the people's living.

The cause of building a great, prosperous and powerful country will make steady progress toward the historic milestone set up by him -- this is the conviction the Korean people etched in their hearts last year.

This year's slogan of the Korean people is "Bring about a decisive turn in the improvement of the people's standard of living and the building of a great, prosperous and powerful country by accelerating the development of light industry once again this year!"

The Korean people are determined to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung in Juche 101 (2012) with great achievements in the effort for realizing his desire for the prosperity of the nation.
