Noting that Kim Il Sung put forth the revolutionary line meeting the independent demands and aspiration of the Korean people in each period and at each stage of the revolution and construction, the paper said:

The line of Songun politics was set forth by Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK Kim Jong Il who carried forward the idea and cause of Kim Il Sung. It is a completely independent line which makes it possible to reliably defend the sovereignty of the country with its own efforts in today's world where the imperialists are getting undisguised in their aggression and high-handed practices.

Kim Jong Un is standing at the helm of the DPRK, a country demonstrating before the world its dignity and might as a power of independence.

The DPRK will eternally shine as an independent power.
