On January 1 in one year Kim Jong Il said to officials that the DPRK people were steadily advancing resolutely along the road of revolution without the slightest vacillation in the then complicated situation when the imperialists were working against socialism more viciously than ever before. He stressed that this was because the Workers’ Party of Korea is strong and the Party and the masses have been welded into a harmonious whole.

He said once again that in the DPRK society where the leader, the Party and the masses make up one socio-political organism, the Party, if separated from the masses, cannot maintain its life.

Stressing that it is necessary to bring about a fresh turn in the Party work, Kim Jong Il instructed that in the People’s Army, there was a slogan “We serve the country!”, and the officials’ slogan must be “We serve the people!”
