DPRK Servicepersons Take Lead in Socialist Construction
Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- The servicepersons of the DPRK are playing the decisive role not only in defending the country but in building of a thriving socialist nation.

Thanks to their devoted efforts for the country's prosperity and the people's wellbeing, many monumental edifices have been built in the DPRK in recent years like the People's Theatre, Rungna People's Pleasure Park, Breast Tumour Institute of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital, Munsu Water Park, Okryu Children's Hospital and Masikryong Ski Resort.

Regarding socialist construction as one of their combat tasks, they have worked miracles in socialist construction. Under the patriotic slogan "Let the People's Army take charge of both national defence and socialist construction!" they have not hesitated even a moment to carry out any difficult tasks. Therefore, everyone in the DPRK keeps in mind their sincere efforts for the happiness and wellbeing of the people.

In those days of their struggle, such phrases as "At a go", "Like lightning" and "Like a charge of dynamite set off", symbolic of their firm faith in victory, were created.

Now the servicepersons are making a breakthrough in socialist construction, inspiring the people with courage and confidence in rosy future.

Marshal Kim Jong Un, when inspecting a KPA unit some days ago, said that "Let the People's Army take charge of both national defence and socialist construction!" is an excellent slogan.
