The editorial goes on:

The President embarked on the road of revolution in his teens and had devoted his all to the prosperity of the country and the nation, freedom and liberation of mankind till the advanced age of 80.

He was the outstanding thinker and theoretician who founded the Juche idea, the acme in the history of human thought, peerless political elder who founded and strengthened the revolutionary party, power and army and peerless patriot who built the world's best socialism centered on the popular masses.

Kim Jong Il set it as his lifetime mission to carry forward and accomplish generation after generation the idea and cause of the President from the very day he led the revolution and energetically guided the struggle to do so.

It was his distinguished ideological and theoretical feat that he glorified Kimilsungism as the immortal revolutionary idea with eternal vitality and formulated and systematized the Songun idea.

It was thanks to his tireless leadership that the DPRK was put on the position of the political, ideological and military power and a new era of building a thriving nation ushered in.

The Korean people are now glorifying the new century of Juche as the one of the final victory in which they are realizing the ideas and causes of the President and Kim Jong Il in all fields, single-mindedly united around Marshal Kim Jong Un.

It is the steadfast will of the party, army and people of the DPRK to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche and the cause of building a thriving nation under the unfurled banner of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.
