New Stamps Issued in DPRK
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- The State Stamp Bureau of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued six stamps reflecting supreme leader Kim Jong Un's New Year Address.

Printed on the upper part of some stamps is "Let us raise a fierce wind of making a fresh leap forward on all fronts of building a thriving country filled with confidence in victory!", the militant slogan for this year laid down in the Address. They deal with the main tasks facing agriculture, construction and science and technology, basic industries and all other sectors of the national economy to raise fierce flames of innovations.

There are also stamps reflecting the tasks to make fresh strides in the construction of culture, including education, and continue to channel great efforts into building up the country's defence capabilities as well as the strong will of the army and people to consolidate the politico-ideological position of the Korean revolution and thus, cement the single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks.

With letters "Let us make fresh headway in the national reunification movement this year, true to the behests of the great leader and general!" written on its upper part, a stamp carries the ideas of the Address that call for rejecting foreign forces, holding fast to the standpoint of By Our Nation Itself, making a positive effort to defend national security and peace and establishing a favorable climate for improved relations between the north and the south.
