Pasason carried an article titled "Kim Jong Il, master of independent politics" illustrated with a portrait of smiling Kim Jong Il:

HE Kim Jong Il, eternal general secretary of the WPK and eternal chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, was the greatest master of independent politics the world political history had ever known.

His most important exploit was that he established the Songun political mode.

He worked heart and soul to realize the human cause of independence and conducted energetic external activities to strengthen the world anti-imperialist and independent forces.

The vitality of his independent politics was fully displayed when the north and the south of Korea brought about the June 15 era of reunification in the idea of By Our Nation Itself.

Congtap Pasason Lao and Heng Ngan also carried articles praising the immortal exploits he performed before the era and history under the uplifted banner of independence and Songun. They also carried portraits of smiling Kim Jong Il.
