The paper said:

Kim Jong Il's formulation of the revolutionary ideas of President Kim Il Sung as an integral system of ideology, theory and method of Juche was an event to be specially recorded in the history of the struggle for independence of mankind.

This provided progressive mankind with a powerful ideological and theoretical weapon for building a new world free from all sorts of domination and subjugation.

The U.S. styling itself the world's only superpower after the end of the Cold War perpetrated highhanded and arbitrary practices in international arena, committing undisguised aggression and interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

Under this situation Kim Jong Il held higher the banner of Songun.

The Songun politics helped protect the sovereignty of the DPRK and its socialism and reliably guarantee the peace and security in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia and the world.

It is thanks to the vitality and validity of the Songun politics that its historical meaning and position are increasing as the days go by.

It has become a trend of the times to follow the Songun politics.

Introducing the feats Kim Jong Il performed by making an undying contribution to global independence, the paper praised him as a distinguished leader of the present times, most tested political elder who dynamically promoted the triumphant advance of the human cause of independence and a peerlessly great man.
