The President was an extraordinary statesman and peerless patriot who provided all foundations and wealth for the Workers' Party of Korea, the revolution, country and nation to always emerge victorious with his clairvoyant wisdom and energetic leadership, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:

The army and the people of the DPRK firmly grasped the personality of the President as the peerlessly great man through a protracted struggle and enshrined the unshakable faith that they were sure to win when they did as taught by him.

The on-going gigantic struggle for building a thriving nation goes to clearly prove the scientific accuracy, validity and tremendous vitality of the last instructions given by the President.

General Secretary Kim Jong Il is leading the drive for effecting a great surge to successfully implement the last instructions of the President and demonstrate the country before the whole world.

It is a decisive guarantee for carrying out the behests of the President to remain true to Kim Jong Il's leadership.

It is necessary to take the behests of the President as a maxim of life and struggle and devotedly protect him politically and ideologically and uphold his leadership with loyalty.

It is also necessary to powerfully demonstrate the revolutionary spirit of Songun Korea which successfully implements the behests of the President with the leader, the army and people in a single-mindedly united integral entity.

Minju Joson calls upon all the servicepersons and people to always hold the President in high esteem as the sun of Juche and carry on their dynamic struggle to accomplish his cause, the revolutionary cause of Juche under the leadership of the party led by Kim Jong Il.
