Despite manifold difficulties facing them, our people have firm faith in their ideals and cause.
What is the greatest strength we have in the ongoing gigantic struggle and what is the inexhaustible powerful potentiality?
Our state-building history of nearly ８０ years is one of patriotic unity.
Whenever our people, who regarded the country and themselves as one organism, displayed indomitable mental strength out of patriotic enthusiasm, our country performed miracles, surmounting difficulties and going over mountains.
Patriotism is precious and sacred to everyone in this country, which was born and defended by it and grows stronger and more dignified thanks to it.
When patriotism kept in the hearts of all the citizens grows into one intention and aspiration and one breath and one step, its strength displays a surprising might incomparable to anything.
That’s exactly what our people more keenly realized through the struggle and life experience for the past １０-odd years when they braved hardship following the Party.
In those days of hardship, our people surmounted numberless difficulties others never experienced and achieved changes others would never dare.

It also heralds miracles to be brought about by patriotic cohesion of all the people boundlessly loyal to the Party’s call.
The patriotic enthusiasm of our people to turn their beloved socialist country into the best country in the world grows more fervent as days go by and their strength of unity is being fortified.
It is wealth of matchless value that a large contingent of passionate patriots, who think of the Party, revolution and the country first, have grown up in the course of the brisk mass-based patriotic movement.
The patriotic cohesion of the great people constitutes the greatest strength upholding our country and safeguarding our revolution.
The past １０-odd years etched in history once again that a country’s prosperity is achieved by the mental strength of the people who united with patriotism, not by any wealth or resources.
The extraordinary political consciousness and bold strenuous exertions of all the people who united and rose with patriotism are the greatest strength and inexhaustible powerful potentiality of our country.
