Glorification of President Kim Il Sung's Exploits Called for

Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- Leading newspapers Wednesday editorially say that the revolutionary history of President Kim Il Sung is shining as the history of a peerlessly great man who performed immortal exploits for the country and people, regarding the building of a socialist power as his lifelong mission. They call for eternally glorifying his feats performed in building a rich and powerful country.

Rodong Sinmun says that the exploits performed by the President in building a rich and powerful nation are throwing rays as eternal treasures which guarantee the permanent victory and prosperity of the country.

It goes on:

The President's cause of building a rich and powerful nation is now being successfully carried out under the leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

It is the unshakable resolution of the Workers' Party of Korea to surely open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation in 2012, the centenary of birth of the President, by relying on the powerful political and military potentials built in the crucible of the Songun revolution and the indomitable mental power of the army and people of the DPRK.

It is necessary to accelerate the on-going general offensive, regarding the immortal exploits performed by the President for the building of a rich and powerful nation all his life as a lifeline.

We should never forget the undying exploits the President performed by building a power, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence, on this land where backwardness and poverty once prevailed no matter how much water has flowed under the bridge and making the country widely known as "Chollima Korea" and "heroic Korea."

It is imperative to push forward the revolution and construction the way the President did, considering his revolutionary idea, the Juche idea as guidelines for life and struggle.

A great leap forward should be effected on all fronts of socialist construction as it was done in the period of great Chollima surge in the post-war days.

It is necessary to sound the general advance on all fronts under the uplifted revolutionary banner of self-reliance provided by the President in the crucible of the anti-Japanese struggle.

Sure to triumph is the drive for building a Juche-oriented great prosperous and powerful socialist nation as there are an eternal cornerstone for building a rich and powerful nation provided by the President all his life and the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.

Minju Joson calls for accomplishing the President's cause of building a rich and powerful nation by intensifying the drive for effecting a new great revolutionary surge.
