He said that General Secretary Kim Jong Il, faithful successor to the cause of President Kim Il Sung, has wisely led the Korean people in their efforts to build a great prosperous and powerful nation while firmly defending the sovereignty of the country and the nation and socialism with his unique Songun politics.

He went on:

Under the leadership of Kim Jong Il the Korean people are now waging a dynamic struggle to achieve fresh successes in all fields of economic construction.

The validity and vitality of the immortal Juche idea have been proved in practice.

The Juche idea is the great idea which indicates the profound philosophical principle.

The Juche idea is now being briskly studied and disseminated worldwide as it gives perfect answers to all questions arising in carrying out the human cause of independence.

Socialism is winning victory after victory in the DPRK as it is steadfastly guided by the Juche idea.

The Korean people are convinced through their experience that there is nothing impossible for them when they advance under the uplifted banner of Juche.

Unshakable is their will to build a thriving socialist nation under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.
