Turning Misfortune into Favorable Conditions Is Tradition of DPRK

Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- The army and people of the DPRK faced difficulties all of a sudden at a time when they were nearing the unprecedented great victory in the significant year 2016. Strong storm and downpour unprecedented in meteorological observation since the liberation of Korea hit the areas along the River Tuman in the northern tip of Korea, causing huge damage. Under the emergency situation the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea made a crucial decision to turn the main thrust of the 200 day-campaign into the drive of recovering from flood damage to tide over the difficulties. It called on all the party members, service personnel and other people to direct all human, material and technical potentials of the country to the rehabilitation campaign in order to recover from the damage at an early date and win eye-opening victory in the struggle for turning misfortune into favorable conditions. In hearty response to the ardent call of the party, the army and people of the DPRK are full of high enthusiasm and confidence to create new legendary stories about heroes startling the world in the recovery campaign and demonstrate once again the might of Juche Korea. Turning adverse situation into favorable conditions--this is a proud tradition of Juche Korea. This is the unique fighting mode which our party has maintained from the very start of the Korean revolution when it had to blaze a trail and the extraordinary disposition of the Korean people. As Marshal Kim Jong Un is standing at the helm of the revolution, this great tradition of the DPRK is being given a steady continuity. The tradition of victory of the DPRK is a precious fruition of the might of single-minded unity of the great leader, great party and the great people and the mental power based on the spirit of self-reliance and self-development-first principle. The army and people of the DPRK who recorded only victory, glory, exploits and miracles in the past annals of the revolution have turned out as one in the new campaign with confidence and optimism about the victory in the future under the wise guidance of the Workers' Party of Korea. The world will witness a new history in which misfortune is turned into favorable conditions in the northern areas of Korea before long. -0-
