Principle of giving priority to self-development to be maintained in building a thriving socialist country

    In his New Year Address the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un clarified that the principle of giving priority to self-development should be maintained in the struggle to usher in a golden age in building a thriving socialist country.

    The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said.

    “The principle of giving priority to self-development should be maintained in building a thriving socialist country.”

    In the New Year Address he said that it is necessary to achieve the great cause of building a thriving nation and realize the people’s beautiful dreams and ideals without fail by the DPRK’s own efforts, technology and resources with affection, trust, dignity and pride in everything of its own.

    Self-development is the might to make oneself strong by one’s own effort.

    The principle of giving priority to self-development contains self-reverence and strong will of the nation to achieve final victory in building a thriving country by depending on itself.

    Through the past struggle the Korean people convinced firmly that self-development alone is the road to sustaining the dignity of their country and nation and to paving a broad avenue for the revolution and construction.

    With this principle the Korean people built on their land the powerful country strong with independence, Songun and socialism, thus demonstrating the dignity and might of the DPRK to the world and becoming the independent and dignified people who can be attacked by no one.

    They brought about epochal change in the economic construction and the improvement of the people’s living by believing in themselves and by relying on their own natural resources, efforts and technology.

    Many heavy industry bases which were put on a Juche and modern basis, light industry factories of the world level and cultural and emotional life bases, the symbol of the civilized socialist nation, were built in every part of the country activating the overall economy of the country and translating the people’s beautiful dreams and ideals into reality.

    Self-development is the fundamental key for the DPRK to have been a self-defensive military giant with powerful military which any aggressive forces cannot dare to attack.

    Self-development is the road to national prosperity but worship of big countries and dependence on foreign forces is the road to national ruin.

    Many countries in the world are now suffering from political upheavals and economic crises. It is because they did not believe in themselves but tried to depend on imperialists and big powers.

    People should solve their problems by their own efforts with the awareness that they are masters of their destiny. Only then can they demonstrate dignity and might of the country and nation instead of being moved by any pressure.

    This year our people will achieve unprecedented successes in the efforts to build a thriving country with the principle of giving priority to self-development clarified by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un in the New Year Address.
