The Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK people have been convinced that they can certainly fulfill the five-year plan aimed at laying the foundations for the development of the national economy and advancing towards the sustained development through the past three-year stubborn struggle after the 8^th Congress of the Party.

At present, the revolutionary enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the DPRK people and youths are very high and all sectors are rising vigorously with the great positive changes made in their mental and moral state. This is a favorable situation that has been won since the 8^th Congress of the Party as a result of the DPRK’s strenuous and offensive struggle.

This is the most precious and powerful asset for the future progress and development, and the DPRK can now be confident that it has overcome the most difficult and extreme points in the struggle to carry out the tasks of the Party Congress.

In general, the Korean revolution opened up an era of the comprehensive development of socialism, in which not only national defence but also all the economic and cultural sectors arose simultaneously, the capital and the provinces have changed all together and great changes have been made in the people’s ideological and mental aspects as well as in cities, villages, mountains and streams during the term of the 8^th Central Committee of the Party.
