Today, the Korean people under the leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) are launching a vigorous all-out drive to attain the WPK’s magnificent goals of throwing open the gateway to a great, powerful and prosperous Korea by 2012, marking the birth centenary of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, the founder of socialist Korea.
This year being a significant juncture for its retrospective review of the centennial-long history of Kim Il Sung’s Korea, the Workers’ Party of Korea has issued a nationwide call for the Korean people to bring about a decisive upturn in improving people’s standard of living and in building up their country into an economic power, with a renewed emphasis on the development of light industry, while maintaining its on-going efforts to further consolidate the country’s current position as a politico-ideological and military power.
In a hearty response to the WPK’s militant call, the Korean people have been energetically marching forward towards further improvement of their living standard and the buildup of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) into a powerful and prosperous state, under the slogan: “Korea will make it, once determined to do whatever it wants!”
The introduction of the CNC in machine-building and other major industries has brought about an up-to-date image of the DPRK’s economy, befitting the era of the knowledge economy, and placed the country’s economy on a new and higher state, thus making an epoch-making breakthrough in the improvement of the people’s living standard as well.
The WPK’s undaunted struggle to firmly safeguard peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and in the rest of Northeast Asia against futile attempts by the US-led imperialist allies to isolate and squeeze the DPRK to death is a prominent part of the worldwide struggle for the victory of socialism and for the whole humankind’s independence.
Victory is in store undoubtedly for the Korean people fighting for their just cause to safeguard peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and to open the gateway to a great, powerful and prosperous socialist Korea, under the sagacious leadership of the WPK headed by its General Secretary great Comrade Kim Jong Il.
Being convinced that the Korean people’s successes have inspired the progressive humankind worldwide with a greater confidence in the victorious future of socialism and now serve as a substantial contribution to the victorious advance of our worldwide movement aimed at defending and safeguarding the cause of socialism, we, present here at this 13th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties, hereby express our unqualified support for and solidarity with the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Korean people in their struggle to build a great, powerful and prosperous state
