Rodong Sinmun says:

The DPRK is an invincible power adding shine to the glorious history and tradition and winning victory after victory along the road of independence, Songun and socialism.

August 15 is the day President Kim Il Sung led the arduous anti-Japanese war to victory, liberating the country. It is the glorious day when the Korean people had the joy of national rebirth and greeted a new epoch of socialist Korea after putting an end to the destiny of colonial slaves.

With Korea's liberation, there began a sacred history of the country which enjoys high dignity as a powerful country of Mt. Paektu and the Korean people emerged a proud people ushering in a stirring era of carving out the destiny as independent people.

The country liberated by the President is an invincible country full of the spirit of Mt. Paektu and its army is a powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu, successor to the brilliant tradition of the anti-Japanese armed struggle, and the Korean people are a heroic people equipped with indomitable revolutionary spirit.

The history of building a powerful country was steadfastly carried forward by leader Kim Jong Il, the great illustrious commander of Songun.

The history of defending and building the country led by the outstanding Generalissimos clearly shows how important the inheritance of the tradition is in carving out the destiny of the country and the nation.

Korean-style socialism remains so strong because whole society is pervaded with the great revolutionary spirit and the tradition of Mt. Paektu is given steady continuity generation after generation.

The future of the DPRK remains so bright and rosy as it is led by the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

Under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, the DPRK is demonstrating its might as a country strong in its faith in independence.

The hearts of the Korean people are filled with the great national pride and self-esteem of leading an independent life in the politico- ideological and military power.

The DPRK is successfully carrying on the revolution and construction in conformity with its actual conditions, without reading other's face. This is its true picture.

The army and people of the DPRK will not step back even an inch from the road of Juche, the road of independence under the leadership of the respected supreme commander but surely win a final victory.

Minju Joson calls upon all the Koreans to demonstrate the dignity and might of the powerful country of Mt. Paektu and dynamically advance toward the final victory under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
