Seven-Year Plan to a victorious conclusion and are ushering in the hopeful new year 1979, a year when we will make a new turn in the building of socialism. All our people are now ablaze with determination to achieve a greater victory in the struggle for the building of socialism this year and are going into the first battle of the new year with high revolutionary enthusiasm and mettle. On the occasion of the New Year I offer warm congratulations to all the Korean people including the workers, peasants, soldiers and working intellectuals who, holding high the banner of the Juche idea, are working with complete devotion for the revolution and construction. I extend militant greetings to the revolutionaries, patriotic democrats, youth and students and the people from all other walks of life in south Korea who are fighting unyieldingly for social democracy and national reunification, looking up to the northern half of Korea as a beacon of hope even in the difficult circumstances in which they are surrounded by a forest of enemy bayonets. I offer New Year congratulations to our 600,000 fellow countrymen in
