This is a great event for the Korean people in accomplishing the Songun revolutionary cause, the statement said, and went on:

The dear respected Kim Jong Un deeply grasped the military ideas, strategy and tactics of Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in his early years.

He is an invincible and iron-willed commander who develops the KPA into a matchless revolutionary army and the DPRK into a military power with his Songun revolutionary leadership.

He has steadily enriched the Juche-oriented military ideas, strategy and tactics of the Generalissimos and led the Songun revolutionary cause pioneered in Mt. Paektu to a brilliant victory.

Marshal Kim Jong Un, identical to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, is an illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu.

Socialist Korea would surely win victory in the decisive battle with the U.S. imperialists and all other hostile forces under his leadership.
