He proclaimed the immortal Juche idea as the guideline of our era long ago and put forth the theories on all realms of the revolution and construction and methods of leadership over masses, thus laying a solid foundation for the victory of the Korean revolution and the human cause of independence.

He formulated the Songun principle with President Kim Il Sung's idea of giving priority to arms as the guideline and established the Songun politics as the main mode of the socialist politics, thus opening up a new phase for the development of the progressive ideas of the mankind.

Under his energetic guidance the Workers' Party of Korea has been strengthened and developed into the Juche-typed revolutionary one which is firmly carrying forward the lineage of Mt. Paektu and the DPRK consolidated as a powerful socialist country with the result that a model of the times has been created in the efforts for accomplishing the people's cause of independence.

Kim Jong Il, who ushered in a new age of the Juche-oriented revolution with his great Songun revolutionary leadership, saw to it that the army building and activities have been undertaken strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Juche idea. He has thus developed the People's Army into an invincible revolutionary strong army and turned the DPRK into a country with world-class military strength.

He has developed in depth the tradition of unity established in Mt. Paektu to strengthen the revolutionary rank into an invincible one closely united around the leader on the basis of comradeship and rallied broad sections of masses around the Party to cement the internal force of the Korean revolution in every way.

The Korean people have smashed the desperate hostile moves of the U.S.-led imperialist reactionary forces against the DPRK at every step and wrought a historical miracle in the decisive battle for defending the country. This is the greatest victory won by the Songun revolutionary strategy of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

He unfolded a far-reaching plan for building a great, prosperous and powerful nation with the iron faith and unbreakable will, set forth a unique line on economic construction in the Songun era and led the whole country to follow the revolutionary soldier spirit of the People's Army. In this way he has wisely led the people so that they have created new miracles and innovations on all fronts of the socialist construction.

Under the tested and seasoned leadership of Kim Jong Il, a politician rare to be seen, the socialist Korea with the strongest political and military forces will shine more brilliantly and Korean people's aspiration after a rich and strong country will be attained without fail.
