The appeal stressed that the great fighting programme set forth at the historic 2nd Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Party has stirred up the complex, adding the goals that seemed to be far from attainment got nearer and confidence and courage became stronger through the deep study of the idea and spirit of the plenary meeting.

The appeal said that the report made by the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un at the said plenary meeting expounds not only campaign goals but also policies and good methods for overcoming the manifold hardships most quickly and successfully making a turning-point in economic revitalization.

Saying that everything will go well as long as they are done as instructed by the respected General Secretary, the appeal evinced the steel-strong pledge of the working people of the complex.

It said that the production of iron and steel has to be doubled this year in comparison with last year, but the complex will attain this year's goal without fail by carrying forward the patriotism and loyalty displayed by the preceding generation while pushing forward with huge projects for expanding its production capacity.

In the appeal, the workers of the complex called on all the working people across the country to take an active part in the all-people and all-out onward campaign, death-defying campaign for defending the authority of the Party and glorifying the era of our state-first principle all over the world.

The time has come for us to give full play to the great might and abounding zeal for the sake of our Party, revolution and socialist country, the appeal said, calling for going all out for the implementation of the first-year tasks of the five-year plan advanced by the 8th Party Congress with great revolutionary enthusiasm and patriotism.
