Offensive for Making Frontal Breakthrough--Struggle to Neutralize Sanctions and Pressure by Hostile Forces and Open New Avenue for Socialist Construction

    The 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea put forward the line on launching an offensive for making a frontal breakthrough aimed at neutralizing the sanctions and pressure by the hostile forces and opening a new avenue for socialist construction.

    Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un said.

    “All sectors and all units of the national economy should launch a vigorous general offensive to boost production in hearty response to the Party’s militant slogan.”

    The offensive for making a frontal breakthrough is the struggle aimed at neutralizing the sanctions and pressure by the hostile forces.

    The whole course of the DPRK’s socialist construction is an unprecedented confrontation accompanied by fierce class struggle. The US and its vassal forces have run amuck to isolate and stifle the DPRK by mobilizing all their political, economic and military strength. For scores of year in the past, the US resorted to the anti-DPRK hostile policy in order to obliterate the DPRK’s ideology and system and enslave its people. In recent years, the US is dead set on the unprecedented nuclear threats and blackmail and high-intensity economic sanctions against the DPRK. The US stages war exercises by introducing huge aggressive armed forces and different kinds of nuclear strategic assets and imposes unprecedented and frantic economic sanctions against the DPRK.

    The stalemate between the DPRK and the US cannot but assume a protracted nature as the US is raising demands contrary to the fundamental interests of the DPRK and maintaining a brigandish attitude. The present situation that warns of a protracted confrontation with the US urgently requires the DPRK to make it a fait accompli that it should live under the sanctions by hostile forces in the future, too, and to strengthen its internal strength in all aspects.

    Bold charge on the strength of self-reliance enables the DPRK to reliably defend its sovereignty and safety by thoroughly strengthening national strength. The more the DPRK bolsters its own strength and creates valuable wealth on the strength of self-reliance and self-sufficiency, the more the imperialists’ sanctions and suffocation will be foiled and the earlier the day of socialist victory will come. The offensive for making a frontal breakthrough on the strength of self-reliance is the decisive factor deciding sovereignty and the right to existence, destiny and dignity of the country and nation.

    The offensive for making a frontal breakthrough is also the struggle aimed at opening a new avenue for socialist construction.

    Today the DPRK people face the task of dynamically hastening the revolutionary grand march for the building of a powerful socialist country. A powerful socialist country is not built out of desire nor provided by others. No one is willing to help the DPRK and see the DPRK well-off and powerful. Without self-development capabilities, it is impossible to demonstrate national dignity and defend destiny of country and nation. It is a historical lesson that help of others may make one free from difficulties for a time being but does not make one enjoy everlasting happiness and escape from disgrace and destiny of a ruined nation. If the DPRK fails to put spurs to the struggle for bolstering its strength for self-development while waiting for the lift of sanctions, the enemies’ reactionary offensive will get fiercer.

    Fundamental secret that the DPRK could have make leap forward racing against the times while braving the worst trials and difficulties lies in that it has waged dynamic struggle holding self-reliance, self-sufficiency as invincible weapon.

    In 2019, the colossal and complicated works of developing the state-of-the-art weapons system possessed only by advanced countries in defence science and technology were perfectly carried out by the DPRK’s own forces without anyone’s help. The DPRK reaped an unprecedented bumper harvest that exceeded the peak-year level and implemented the second-stage project for sprucing up the city of Samjiyon, building it into an excellent model of mountainous cultured town, an ideal archetype of local town, and completed the construction of the Jungphyong Vegetable Greenhouse Farm, tree nursery and Yangdok Hot Spring Resort. Construction of Wonsan-Kalma coast resort, Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory, Orangchon Power Station, Tanchon Power Station and other projects, which are simultaneously under construction in several parts of the country, is being pushed ahead under meticulous planning. All the sectors of national economy, including metal, coal-mining, building materials and light industry, are showing a trend of remarkable growth.

    This proves that the bold charge on the strength of self-reliance is the fundamental guarantee bringing about a fresh leap forward in the building of a powerful country.

    In order to bring about a fresh turn in the economic development of the country and the improvement of the people’s livelihood and achieve socialist civilization and prosperity, it is necessary for the DPRK people to launch an offensive for making a frontal breakthrough aimed at foiling the imperialists’ sanctions and blockade, holding aloft the banner of self-reliance. Victory in the building of a powerful country and the future of posterities hinges on the offensive for making a frontal breakthrough.

    Conditions and circumstances of the revolutionary struggle may alter with the advance of the times and history and shift in generation, but the DPRK people’s faith and will to build a powerful socialist country through the offensive for making a frontal breakthrough will remain unchanged.

    They will launch an offensive for making a frontal breakthrough on the strength of self-reliance under the leadership of the great Party, thus fully displaying the spirit and mettle of Juche Korea and hastening its everlasting future.
