In Korea the effort for building people's power commenced in the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle.

President Kim Il Sung set forth an original line of building people's power in the flames of the struggle and started the Juche-based power building.

On the basis of the experience he gained in the period, the President successfully carried out democratic reforms in a brief span of time and established the people's democratic social system after the country's liberation. He also rallied all the patriotic-minded people in the north and the south under the banner of national independence, in face of the maneuvers of the U.S. imperialists and their allies to divide Korea into two.

The President's energetic guidance led to the founding of the DPRK in September Juche 37, (1948.)

He guided the DPRK government to fully discharge its mission in protecting the people's rights to independence and taking care of their life.

The DPRK defeated the U.S. for the first time in the world and made tremendous achievements in various fields.

Its government has ever developed to be a political weapon for consolidating the socialist system and building a thriving nation.
