Rodong Sinmun, a major newspaper of the DPRK, stresses this in a bylined article Friday.

It says:

The WPK guides the revolution and construction by taking the President's behests as its lifeline.

Over the last ten odd years it well showed what attitude and stand are needed to hold the leader of the revolution in high esteem forever and how to adhere to and carry out his behests.

The WPK has conducted its building and activities as instructed by the President and worked hard to realize his wish for building a thriving nation, setting it as its final target.

It is now leading the general offensive of all the soldiers and people under the grand plan to open the gate to a thriving nation in 2012 marking the centenary of birth of the President.

It regards Kim Il Sung's behests as its lifeline and pushes ahead with the building of a thriving socialist country on a new higher stage as it has Kim Jong Il, the peerlessly prominent leader, at its head.

Kim Jong Il is the great leader who steers the country and the revolution only to victory with the President's behests as a lifeline.

The WPK led by him is the party in which the steadfast leadership system has been established to put into practice the revolutionary idea of the President on an overall scale. It laid a solid foundation for building a prosperous and powerful country where the President's wishes are all translated into reality and has the single-minded unity of the people and army intensely loyal to his idea and cause.

Under the leadership of the WPK more miraculous events will take place one after another in the DPRK and the President's behests on building a thriving nation will be successfully implemented.
