The tradition of the single-minded unity created in the flames of the anti-Japanese struggle is brilliantly carried forward and the unity of the DPRK finds itself on a new higher phase as it has in its van General Secretary Kim Jong Il who is identical with the President in idea, leadership and virtues.

The whole Party has been imbued with the Songun idea, the entire army has shared the idea, will and destiny with the Supreme Commander and all the army and people have achieved the perfect identity in ideology and working method on the basis of the spirit of defending the leader with their very lives. This is the true feature of the DPRK's single-minded unity.
