Pyongyang, December 6 (KCNA) -- The revolutionary traditions of Juche are a lifeline of Kim Il Sung's nation and eternal wealth of Songun Korea.

Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a bylined article dedicated to the 20th anniversary of publication of leader Kim Jong Il's work "Let Us Brilliantly Carry Forward and Develop the Revolutionary Traditions of Juche".

The glorious revolutionary traditions of the Workers' Party of Korea have originated from the anti-Japanese struggle organized and led by President Kim Il Sung. They fully embody the idea, theory and ways to be maintained as guidelines in the whole course of carrying out the socialist cause and comprehensively deal with the wealth of experience gained in the struggle and valuable exploits, says the article, adding:

These traditions serve as an ideological and moral treasure that enables to eternally glorify the history of the Korean revolution as the history of Kim Il Sung and an eternal cornerstone that makes it possible to develop the revolutionary ranks into the most powerful ones of single-minded unity. They also serve as a lifeline that ensures the constant creation of heroic epics of great innovations and leap forward in the indomitable revolutionary spirit.

The Juche traditions, associated with the revolutionary history of Kim Il Sung and his idea and exploits, serve as the most precious boon of Kim Il Sung's nation and Kim Il Sung's Korea.

The tradition of the single-minded unity created by the President spurs the advance of the Korean revolution and helps bolster the might of Songun Korea. It is the true picture of the DPRK at present in which the leader, army and the people share the common idea, will and destiny in the world of comradeship.

Despite the changed environment and situation of the revolutionary struggle and replacement of generations, the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu serves as the driving force that hardens the mental power of the Korean people and makes the DPRK demonstrate its dignity as an invincible power.

The inexhaustible might of this spirit has been brought into full play in the drive for building a thriving nation.
