Thanks to April 15, the birth anniversary of the President, it was possible for the Korean nation to put an end to the checkered history of sufferings, greet a new morning of independent dignity and prosperity, and brilliantly adorn the complicated 20th century as a glorious century of Kim Il Sung, steering the era of independence in the centre of the earth, the letter said, and continued:

The revolutionary cause of Juche started by Kim Il Sung in Mt. Paektu has successfully been carried forward by you.

You have brought about miracles and changes in all fields of the building of a thriving nation, frustrating all sorts of moves of the imperialist allied forces including the U.S. imperialists with his matchless Songun politics. As a result, the ideal and desire of the President are being translated into a reality in the north.

The daily increasing position and influence of Songun Korea on the international community are the precious fruition of your distinguished political caliber and wise leadership over the era of independence.

The vanguard fighters and patriotic people of various circles in the south will put further spurs to the struggle for implementing the joint declarations under the banner of "By our nation itself" and thus bring about a new phase of independent reunification without fail this year, the letter concluded.
