Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un made a New Year address for 2017.
In his address he
sent New Year greetings to all Koreans and the progressive people of the world.
2016 was a year of
revolutionary and auspicious event and great turn to be specially recorded in
the history of the Workers' Party of Korea and the country, he said, referring
to the achievements made last year.
Last year the Seventh
Congress of the WPK was held significantly with splendour as a grand political
festival thanks to the high revolutionary enthusiasm of all the party members,
service personnel and people and amid deep concern of the world.
The Seventh Congress
proudly reviewed the glorious history of the struggle of the WPK, which had led
the revolutionary cause of Juche to victory under the wise guidance of
President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, and unfolded a grand blueprint
for accomplishing the socialist cause under the banner of
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.
An epoch-making turn
was made in bolstering up the national defence capacity of Juche Korea and the
DPRK soared as a nuclear and military power in the East that no formidable enemy
dare encroach upon.
The proud victory was
achieved in the 70-day and 200-day campaigns to glorify the Seventh Congress of
the Party.
Thanks to the heroic
struggle of the Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il working class and all other people, the
gigantic goals of the 70-day and 200-day campaigns put forward by the WPK were
successfully hit and a new breakthrough made in the country's economic
development.
The new spirit of era
for building a powerful socialist country was created and trust in the Party
and faith in socialism were more deeply cherished in the hearts of the people
during the 70-day and 200-day campaigns.
Kim Jong Un
underscored the need to achieve the drastic advance in implementing the
decision of the Seventh Congress of the Party this year.
We should concentrate
all efforts on the implementation of the five-year strategy for national
economic development.
This year's fighting
goals should be hit without fail to open a bright prospect for the five-year
strategy and put the overall economy of the country on a higher stage while
consolidating the victory gained last year.
"Let us
accelerate the victorious advance of socialism with the great spirit of
self-reliance and self-development as the dynamic force!", this is a
militant slogan we should uphold in the New Year's onward march.
It is necessary to
actively wage the all-people charge for attaining the goal of five-year
strategy by dint of the self-reliance and self-development.
In the field of
science and technology it is imperative to solve scientific and technological
problems arising in updating industrial establishments and putting the
production on a normal footing there with a main emphasis on the local
production of raw materials, fuel and equipment.
Electricity, metal
and chemical industrial fields should take the lead.
In the coal industry
and railway transport fields, a priority should be given to meeting the need
for coal and its transport to power plants and metal and chemical factories.
It is important to
quickly develop the machine industry.
A radical turn should
be effected in light industry, agriculture and fisheries and thus a greater
progress be made in improving the standard of people's living.
In the construction
field, Ryomyong Street should be completed on the highest level and efforts be
focused on the construction of important projects, and more educational and
cultural facilities and dwelling houses be built wonderfully.
All sectors and units
of the national economy should wage a vigorous drive to produce and economize
as much as possible under the slogan of self-reliance and self-sufficiency and
thus fulfil this year's plan on all indices.
The whole country
should turn out for the land management.
On all fronts of
culture including education, public health, sports and literature and arts, a
fresh revolutionary surge should be brought to step up the building of a highly
civilized nation.
The political and
military position of socialism should be further cemented as an invincible
fortress.
All the service
personnel and people should share their thinking and breath with the Party and
rally around it in thinking and purpose, morality and sense of obligation and
work hard for the prosperity of the country.
We should resolutely
smash the enemies' despicable and vicious moves to dampen the pure and ardent
desire of the people for the Party and estrange the people from it.
It is also important
to bring about a great surge in bolstering up the military capabilities.
Victory or defeat in
this year's drive for implementing the decision made at the 7th Congress of the
Workers' Party Korea depends on the role to be played by the party
organizations and working people's organizations, Kim Jong Un said, stressing
the need for all the primary party organizations to embody the basic spirit of
the First Conference of Chairpersons of the Party Primary Committees and make
sure that the spirit of uninterrupted innovation and advance is fully displayed
in the all-out charge this year.
Kim Jong Un also
called on the entire nation to pave a wide avenue to independent reunification
by the united efforts. It is necessary to take active measures
to improve the
north-south relations and defuse acute military conflict and danger of a war
between the north and the south.
All the Koreans in
the north and the south and abroad should unite and get united on the principle
of subordinating everything to national reunification, the cause common to the
nation, and activate the reunification movement on a nationwide scale.
It is needed to foil
challenges of the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad going against
the nation's desire for reunification.
Kim Jong Un said that
unless the U.S. and its vassal forces stop nuclear threat and blackmail and
unless they stop the war exercises which they stage right at our noses under
the pretext of annual exercises, the DPRK would keep increasing the military
capabilities for self-defence and pre-emptive striking capacity with a main emphasis
on nuclear force.
The DPRK will defend
the peace and security of the country with its force and make active
contribution to defending the world peace and stability, he stressed.
The WPK and the
government of the DPRK will remain loyal to the ideas of foreign policy --
independence, peace and friendship –and make joint efforts to expand the good-neighbourly
friendship and cooperation with countries advocating independence and realize
the genuine international justice.
Kim Jong Un said that
he would make devoted efforts to make sure that the days when our people sang
the song "We Are the Happiest in the World" full of optimism about
the future with deep trust in President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il
only will become a
reality today, not just a past days of history, and solemnly pledged to become
a faithful servant serving the people with pure and sincere dedication.
