Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article calls for holding higher the banner of self-reliance in order to consolidate the successes gained in the struggle for pioneering the era of comprehensive development and continue to lead them to a greater result.

Self-reliance is the mode of advance and tradition of struggle peculiar to the Korean revolution, the article says and goes on:

The first-stage struggle for pioneering and transformation witnessed hardship every year, but the dignity and prestige of our state were demonstrated to the whole world and our revolution was firmly put on the orbit of the comprehensive development of socialism.

This is an inevitable result of the steady accumulation of potential through the drive for steadily pioneering the course of development of our own style by dint of self-reliance from A to Z.

Self-reliance and self-sufficiency are the driving force that ushered in a great new era of the comprehensive development of socialism.

Our strength is the best and our shortcut to make progress and leaps forward faster lies in holding higher the banner of self-reliance.

Self-reliance is a treasured sword for leaps and prosperity.

Self-reliance and self-sufficiency are the main sources for remarkably strengthening the driving force of the Korean revolution despite all difficulties.

Self-reliance is the banner of struggle and advance to be invariably held higher permanently.

Holding higher the banner of self-reliance is an urgent requirement for laying a foundation for the development of the country's economy in a stable and sustainable way.

The path of the development of each unit and the guarantee of increased production lie in giving full play to the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance.

Invariably holding high the banner of self-reliance is an essential requirement for further intensifying the struggle for the promotion of the people's well-being at a new stage.

Self-reliance is a weapon of creation and change that brings the future of prosperity with our own hands.

As we invariably hold aloft the banner of self-reliance, we will make greater changes with greater strides, and along with them our state will get stronger and more prosperous. -0-
