The article said that as the DPRK has tremendous strength the U.S. does not dare to provoke.

Its military power has grown stronger after Kim Jong Il gained the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the chairmanship of the DPRK National Defence Commission, the article stressed.

He formulated the Songun politics as the basic political mode of socialism and has strengthened the KPA into invincible armed forces through his ceaseless field guidance to the army, it noted.

In the society of the DPRK the leader, the party and the masses are one community united by the common destiny, it said, adding: General Secretary Kim Jong Il is the center of the single-minded unity of the whole society and its ideological basis is the Juche idea, the Songun idea.

The Korean people having tremendous national power will surely hit the goal of building a great, prosperous and powerful socialist nation in the near future, the article said.
