The people’s strength is the source of miracles.

The DPRK people keep creating miracles and innovations in socialist construction by relying on their strength with self-confidence.

Now that a period of comprehensive development of socialism has come, modern regional-industry factories and ideal rural houses are springing up across the country symbolizing regional rejuvenation and rural development. The appearance of regions is changing with each passing day as evidenced by the city of Samjiyon, a model of mountainous city of culture, the mountain-gorge town in the Komdok area and farms called “greenhouse towns” and “rural towns”.

The people’s ideal streets that have annually been built in the capital city in recent years including Songhwa, Jonwi, Hwasong and Rimhung streets, the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station, Orangchon Power Station, Hwangju Kindung Waterway and other monumental structures built across the country are the clear manifestation of the valiant spirit of the Korean people who achieve their dream of prosperity by dint of self-reliance.

A new history of gold mountains, golden fields and gold seas continues to be created to bring the people louder laughter and they are full of joy at the Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area, the Yangdok Hot Spring Resort, the Masikryong Ski Resort, the Munsu Water Park, the Mirim Riding Club and other bases of cultural and leisure activities.

To cope with the hostile forces’ ever-worsening moves to stifle the DPRK and start another war, the Korean people are striving to markedly boost their national defence capabilities to safeguard the security and sovereignty of the country.

The successive launches of Hwasongpho ICBMs, the successful test-firing of strategic nuclear weapons and the completion of the large multi-mission destroyers Choe Hyon and Kang Kon which were built in a matter of one and half years are momentous events through which the Koreans demonstrated the might of independent national defence industry as they built up their invincible military strength of justice for safeguarding peace.

If they had opted for believing in others’ strength and relying on them, they could not have achieved such successes and firmly defended their national security and sovereignty.

As they have self-reliance, which has always served as the banner of struggle and motive power of leap forward in the whole course of the Korean revolution, the building of a powerful socialist country, which is filled with the people’s happy laughter and where they enjoy the happiest life in the world, is being accelerated.
