Today the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people are working hard to build a thriving nation and achieve national reunification, desires of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

The U.S. should properly understand the strength of the DPRK and behave itself, replace the Armistice Agreement by a peace one and withdraw its troops from south Korea.

The DPRK will surely achieve the final victory in the struggle against the U.S. imperialists.
