DPRK will be prosperous

 

The north Korean people mark the 58th anniversary of the Democratic People¡¯s Republic of Korea, the cradle of their happiness.

Marking the day, they are filled with deep reverence for President Kim Il Sung, founder and leader of the DPRK, and they resolve to build a great prosperous powerful nation firmly united around leader Kim Jong Il who is demonstrating the dignity and honor of the country with his energetic Songun leadership.

After liberating Korea from Japanese military rule President Kim Il Sung proclaimed the founding of the DPRK on September 9, Juche 37 (1948) according to the policy of building a unified independent and sovereign state reflecting the unanimous will of all the Korean people.

The birth of the DPRK was the appearance of the first people¡¯s state in the 5,000-year history of Korea.

The auspicious day ushered in a great turning point in the socio-political life of the Korean people and the development of the Korean revolution and shines brilliantly in the annals of Korean history.

Since then the north Koreans have become a powerful and dignified people shaping their destiny independently and created a new era of social progress and great change.

After achieving the cause of nation building, the President set forth the Juche-oriented idea and policy of state building and wisely led the efforts to implement them.

He developed the government into a genuine people¡¯s power that gives topmost priority to the people¡¯s interests and works to realize them and into a government supported and trusted by all.

He defined the adherence to independence as the basic principle to be maintained in state building and activities, set up the government according to the people¡¯s will and in Korean way, formulated all state policies by reflecting the people¡¯s aspiration and led them to carry them out by their efforts.

Thanks to his seasoned leadership, the DPRK government was able to resolutely reject all forms of domination, interference and pressure of outside forces, solve all problems arising in the revolution and construction independently and exercise its sovereignty in international relations.

Under the banner of the DPRK headed by the President the Korean people won victory in the Fatherland Liberation War against the armed invasion of the imperialist allied forces led by the US and defended the country¡¯s freedom and independence, successfully carried out socialist construction, thus building people-centered socialism independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defense.

His idea and policy of state building are now enriched by leader Kim Jong Il and the DPRK has reached a higher stage of its development.

He ensures that the revolutionary idea of the President is followed as guidelines in all state activities.

By upholding the banner of Songun he has built up military strength of the country and achieved single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks to lay a solid socio-political foundation of the DPRK. He established a new state leading system with the National Defense Commission as the pivot to develop the DPRK into a unique socialist state that defends the country and achieves national prosperity in the face of all difficulties on the strength of Songun.

Today the DPRK is reliably defending the national dignity and sovereignty by dint of single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks with the army as their mainstay. This is attributable to the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.

In the 1990s when the country was standing at the crossroads of life and death a large number of structures of lasting value including hydropower stations and industrial establishments were built across the country, land realignment and waterway projects were pushed to give a facelift to the country and socialist culture was flourished under his leadership.

The publication of the historic June 15, 2000 North-South Joint Declaration has brought about a radical phase in the movement for the country¡¯s reunification. The DPRK¡¯s international status is being elevated.

Inexhaustible is the strength of single-minded unity of the Korean people who are united firmly behind the leadership of the revolution with one idea and purpose under the banner of Songun.

The DPRK founded by President Kim Il Sung will be prosperous for ever.
