Thanks to the Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il, the Korean people could victoriously conclude the arduous march and firmly defend the sovereignty of the country and the socialist system, shattering the imperialist allied forces' moves to stifle the DPRK.

His Songun politics provided a sure guarantee for paving the way for achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of the country by the concerted efforts of the nation and opening up a landmark phase of building a thriving socialist nation.

December 24 also marks the birth anniversary of Kim Jong Suk.

The Korean people are significantly commemorating her birth anniversary.
