He made the significant New Year address at a time when the U.S. imperialists were making more desperate efforts to stifle the DPRK, the statement said, and went on:

In the address he reviewed the great victories and achievements made by the army and people of the DPRK last year in the building of a thriving socialist nation and set forth the tasks for 2015 and the slogan "Let us all turn out in the general offensive to hasten final victory in the revolutionary spirit of Paektu!"

He also advanced the most reasonable and realistic proposals for mending the deteriorated inter-Korean relations and defusing the tension on the Korean peninsula.

His New Year address serves as important guidelines for the Korean people to build a thriving nation and reunify the country.

The statement expressed full support for his address.

It strongly demanded the U.S. roll back its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK and discontinue U.S.-south Korea joint military drills, the root cause of escalating tension on the Korean peninsula.

It renewed the determination to study hard and widely disseminate the address.
