President Kim Il Sung embarked upon the road of revolution in his early years to lead the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to victory and liberate the country.

In the whole period of leading the revolution and construction, he placed the interests of the popular masses above anything else and made sure that everything served the people.

His life was one of a great revolutionary for the country and its people.

The Korean people highly praise him as the great father and the sun of Juche.

The President's founding of the Juche idea is the most brilliant one of his feats.

The Juche idea had been developed in depth thanks to the energetic ideological and theoretical activities of leader Kim Jong Il.

Its validity and vitality have been proved in practice and its attraction is growing stronger.

It serves as an eternal guiding principle for the world progressives dynamically struggling for the cause of human independence.

The Korean people are dynamically pushing forward the building of a thriving socialist nation under the banner of the Juche idea.

I am sure that the Korean people will achieve greater progress in the efforts to build a thriving socialist nation and achieve national reunification under the wise leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
