The immortal Juche idea fathered by President Kim Il Sung serves as a great guiding idea in the era of independence, he said, and went on:

The birth of the Juche idea marked an event that brought about a revolutionary turn in developing the progressive idea of humanity and realizing the cause of independence.

The Juche idea serves as eternal guidelines which should be held fast to not only by the Korean people but the world progressive people in the revolution and construction.

The DPRK has won only victories as a powerful country defying the U.S.-led imperialists' moves to put it under their control because it has solved all the problems in an independent and creative way strictly guided by the Juche idea.

All the successes achieved in the DPRK are a striking manifestation of the great vitality of the Juche idea.

The Songun politics pursued by leader Kim Jong Il is a new political mode for firmly defending the destiny of the country and the nation and socialism and successfully realizing the human cause of independence in the world in which the high-handed policy of the U.S. imperialists prevails, he said, adding that the Korean people are dynamically advancing along the road of socialism and independence holding aloft the banner of Juche, the banner of Songun true to the leadership of Kim Jong Il.
