The editorial calls for steadily glorifying Kim Jong Il's idea of building a thriving nation and exploits, regarding them as the lifeline of the Korean revolution.

Kim Jong Il formulated the Songun politics as a basic political mode under socialism for the first time in history and made a history of building an invincible thriving nation, the history of dramatically augmenting the nation's overall power on the basis of powerful military muscle, it says, and goes on:

Under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il the dignity and might of the DPRK have been fully demonstrated in all aspects and the DPRK greeted a golden age of prosperity.

The army and people of the DPRK have the transparent spirit of deeply trusting in and following the leader, the indomitable will to steadfastly advance along the way of socialism despite the imperialist moves to stifle it and the strong guts and mettle to build a thriving nation of Juche on this land by their own efforts. This is the politico-ideological might of the army and people grown up under the care of Kim Jong Il and the biggest wealth of the country.

Thanks to Kim Jong Il, the DPRK could demonstrate its might as invincible military power with powerful war deterrence capable of defeating any formidable enemy of imperialism at a single strike.

The future of national prosperity is guaranteed and the country's dignity and honor are exalted by science and technology. This is the great pride of the country and the nation provided by Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il put the DPRK on the position of invincible politico-military power and a scientific and technological power, firmly taking the Songun politics as a treasured sword. This exploit will always go down in the history of the thriving country.
