It said:

The foundation of the DPRK marked an important event in Juche-based nation-building.

The DPRK founded by President Kim Il Sung on Sept. 9 1948 is the legitimate state reflecting the unanimous will of all Koreans.

They successfully settled the issue of power, the most essential issue in the revolutionary struggle, under the leadership of the President.

Its foundation greatly encouraged the world oppressed people groaning due to imperialists' exploitation and put strong spurs to their struggle for national sovereignty and liberation.

Under the wise leadership of the President the DPRK successfully carried out the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution and the socialist revolution, building a popular masses-centered socialist state free from exploitation and oppression.

Socialism in the DPRK is not a copy of socialism in any other country.

The country has pursued an independent policy and firmly adhered to the principle of independence in politics, self-support in economy and self-reliance in national defense.

After its founding, the DPRK considered it as the supreme principle governing its state activities to improve the standard of people's living.

As a result, the country has turned into a land of bliss for the people.

Under the leadership of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un the DPRK is making a dynamic advance to build a thriving socialist nation and accomplish the cause of national reunification, foiling all provocations of the U.S. imperialists.
