The DPRK is now demonstrating its dignity as a prosperous and powerful socialist country entirely thanks to the President's great Juche-based idea and line of nation-building and the great leadership of the WPK creditably carrying them into practice.

The ongoing drive to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation is the movement of new higher stage to add luster to the President's Juche-based idea and cause of nation-building.

It is the rock-firm faith of the army and people of the DPRK that only when they hold fast to the idea and theory of the work and thoroughly carry them out, can they successfully accomplish the cause of building a rich and powerful country, the socialist cause of Juche pioneered by the President.

It is the unshakable patriotic will of Kim Jong Il to always glorify the country as a great prosperous powerful socialist nation of Juche and as great Kim Il Sung's Korea, the editorial says, calling upon all the people to work hard to make the socialist country of Juche shining with the august name and exploits of the President more rich and powerful under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
