Rodong Sinmun Calls for Greeting 8th Congress of WPK with Successes of Self-reliance and Self-development

 Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- It is the unstained and pure mind of our people to splendidly greet the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) as the one of special importance in the history of the WPK by making valuable and significant gifts for the mother Party, says Rodong Sinmun in an editorial on Thursday.

The editorial notes that all the officials, party members and working people should make big achievements by bringing about a great upsurge in production under the uplifted banner of self-reliance and thus significantly greet the 8th Congress of the Party.

The editorial goes on:

We should hold higher the slogan of "Self-reliance is the only way out!" to kindle the flame of the general advance with the spirit of self-reliance and make achievements in the economic construction by our own efforts.

We should continue to wage a dynamic struggle for thoroughly implementing the decisions made at the meetings of the Party, holding aloft the banner of self-reliance.

It is important to determinedly stage a drive for production to attain the goals set forth by the Party this year.

All the efforts should be directed into the campaign for fundamentally finishing off the recovery from flood damage within the period set by the Party and at the level desired by it.

It is necessary to turn the whole course of preparing the celebrations of the 75th founding anniversary of the Party into an occasion to further consolidate our revolutionary rank into an integral whole equipped with the spirit of self-reliance and set up new standards of uninterrupted innovations and progress.

The editorial calls upon everyone to kindle the fierce flame of the grand march of self-reliance for greeting the 8th Congress of the Party, and thus fully demonstrate the might of the single-minded unity of our people rallied close around the Party and the invincibility of our own style socialism all over the world. -0-
