Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a bylined article.

It is the main spirit of the joint calls that the entire party and army and all people should turn sorrow into redoubled strength and courage under the wise leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un and thus glorify 2012 as a year of great victory when the steadfast succession and invincibility of the Korean revolution are demonstrated to the world, a year of prosperity when the gate of a thriving nation is flung open, the article notes, and goes on:

The joint calls serve as a banner of great unity to be carried forward generation after generation and a banner of Songun revolution which makes it possible to give steady continuity to the traditions of arms of Mt. Paektu.

They, at the same time, serve as a banner of leap forward and innovations as they help bring about a great surge in improving the standard of people's living and building a thriving nation and a banner of ardent patriotism which calls on the whole country to turn out in a nationwide gigantic advance.

The flames kindled by leader Kim Jong Il in South Hamgyong Province last year, the flames of industrial revolution in the new century, serve as a banner of the onward general offensive and an engine for effecting great leap forward and innovations.

Officials should become forefront commanding officers in the advance for great surge, party members vanguard fighters in the onward movement for final victory in 2012, the youths a main player in building a thriving nation who bravely advances keeping pace with the footsteps of the illustrious commander of Songun and all citizens should perform feats and thus demonstrate the honor of victors in the on-going general offensive.
