Kim Il Sung made public work "The Path of the Korean Revolution" at the meeting of leading officials of the Young Communist League and the Anti-imperialist Youth League in Kalun, declaring to the world the founding of the Juche idea.

The article says:

The Juche idea serves as a banner for protecting a nation as it makes it possible to decisively frustrate the moves of the imperialists for domination and firmly defend the sovereignty of the country and the nation. It also serves as a banner of national prosperity as it makes it possible to achieve the independent development and prosperity of the country and the nation by its own efforts.

The Korean revolution has advanced along the path indicated by the Juche-oriented line laid down by Kim Il Sung at the meeting, thus enabling it to win one victory after another despite the stern tempests of history. As a result, the Korean people have become a heroic people who explored an un-trodden path of achieving sovereignty, independence and socialism and the DPRK has emerged a country shedding its rays all over the world as a country strong in the spirit of independence and a homeland of the great idea steering the era.

The tremendous might of the Juche idea finds its vivid manifestation in the fact that all the people have consolidated their firm unity around the party and the leader in every way, building a powerful driving force for the revolution and winning a great victory and performing miracles in carrying out the socialist cause of Juche and building a rich and powerful country.

All the people are making a history of great revolutionary surge in hearty response to the plan of the party for building a thriving nation. This is a powerful demonstration of the might of the single-minded unity of the people around the headquarters of the revolution. The DPRK is the great socialist country based on the single-minded unity as all its servicepersons and people have achieved the unity in thinking and work style and dynamic advances toward a thriving nation while frustrating the imperialists' moves against the DPRK.

The work in all fields including party and state building and economic and cultural construction in the DPRK is now being carried out as required by the Juche idea and the Songun idea based on it under any circumstances. The requirements of Juche are fully met and the principle of Songun is thoroughly implemented in all aspects ranging from the state administration and economic management to the people's politico-ideological and cultural life and the day of victory in the drive for building a thriving nation is drawing near thanks to the exceptionally high revolutionary spirit and creative enthusiasm of the popular masses. This is the shining reality of the DPRK, concludes the article.
