It posted the portrait of smiling Kim Jong Il.

The article said leader Kim Jong Il was, indeed, the great leader who led socialism and the cause of independence against imperialism to victory through his energetic ideological and theoretical activities and wise leadership.

It went on:

Kim Jong Il comprehensively systematized the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung and formulated it as Kimilsungism.

He wisely led the Workers' Party of Korea for five decades, developing it into the party which organizes and guides all the victories of the Korean people.

At the end of the last century when the world socialist movement faced an ordeal in the wake of collapse of socialism in different countries, he invariably defended the socialist banner of Juche with the might of Songun and frustrated the anti-DPRK moves of the imperialist allied forces.

By enforcing the unique Songun politics he turned the DPRK into a politico-ideological power and military power and laid a strong foundation for building an economic power.

Kim Jong Il is always alive in the hearts of the Korean people and all other progressives of the world.

The progressive parties, organizations and people of Peru are confident that the party, army and people of the DPRK will achieve great successes in the building of a thriving nation and the drive for national reunification under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un, stressed the article.
