It is an unshakable will of the WPK and the DPRK government to cherish the absolute trust of the people in the Party as the greatest wealth of the revolution and build the most prosperous and powerful country which realizes all dreams and ideals of the people with the might of the single-hearted unity, the irresistible force of Juche Korea.
