It is great pride and honor of the Korean working people to have set examples of the times in building a rich and powerful country, being blessed with the illustrious leaders generation after generation, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:

Regarding it as their maxim to believe in the people as in Heaven all their lives, President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il built on this land the best socialist system under which the working people have become masters and advanced the revolution and construction by relying on their strength.

The dignity, position and role of the Korean working people have remarkably increased in the new century of Juche under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.

He has put forward all the people including the working class as a powerful force for building a thriving nation and worked heart and soul to give fullest play to the might of the workers, farmers and intellectuals.

The Korean people are now devotedly working for the prosperity of the country with transparent revolutionary faith, high creativity and ardent patriotism.

They have formed loyal ranks that absolutely trust and devotedly defend their leaders only and become creditable guardians who share their destiny with the Juche-based socialist homeland and members of the shock brigade who make a breakthrough towards advance for building a thriving nation with patriotic enthusiasm and extraordinary creative spirit.

The Korean working people should give fullest play to their heroic spirit and militancy in the on-going all-out charge as they have remained true to the idea and cause, plan and resolution of the Workers' Party of Korea in all annals of the protracted revolution.

Minju Joson calls on the people to glorify the proud tradition of struggle and the history of victory generation after generation and hasten as early as possible the final victory in the drive for building a thriving nation through ceaseless creation and efforts.
