North Korea is strongly encouraging its residents to maximize economic performance during the remaining three months of the year.
The Rodong Sinmun, the organ of the Labor Party, ran a special article on the front page titled ‘Let us uphold the party’s plan and determination to make this year a year of great transition and transformation by putting into perfect practice’, “All workers, party members, and workers will exert themselves to the fullest.” “We must work hard and devote ourselves fully to the struggle to make this year shine,” he said.
At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized, “Whether or not the valuable achievements achieved through tireless effort and painstaking dedication bear fruitful results depends on the remaining struggle.”
The newspaper said that the achievements so far were due to the dedication of General Secretary Kim Jong-un and commented, “A solid legal guarantee has been provided for strengthening nuclear forces, the country’s military and technological strength has become irreversible, and clear achievements have been made in economic development and improvement of the people’s living standards.” .
He then called for greater focus on economic performance, saying, “We must unconditionally occupy the 12 important highlands for the development of the national economy by mobilizing all of our potential and possibility,” and added, “On the agricultural front, we will loudly shout the battle cry of occupying the grain highlands and focus on the metal, chemical, and other industries.” “We must vigorously lead this year’s struggle with a new productive upsurge in major industrial sectors,” he ordered.
In particular, “farming unity must be strengthened through the power of collectivism,” he said. “This year, with a bountiful fall unfolding in rural areas in various regions, and a good harvest for farm bees, the amount of rice sheaves to be loaded and the amount of grain that needs to be threshed has increased.” He urged to maximize the performance of the agricultural sector.
On page 3 of the day, the newspaper said, “This year’s majestic march has already entered its final stretch,” and “There are only a few months left until the end of the year,” and ordered party workers (cadres) to further enhance their performance within the remaining deadline of this year.
The newspaper said, “Now is the time when all party members with red party membership cards in their hearts must keep the oath they made to the party and exert maximum effort in the struggle to implement the decisions of the plenary meeting of the party central committee.”
