The Juche-oriented revolutionary lines, programmes for struggle and original strategies and tactics advanced by the President during the arduous anti-Japanese armed struggle served as the militant banners which brought the dawn of Korea's liberation and flared up the flame of the all-people resistance.

The President had one million-strong Japanese imperialists under his thumb with his outstanding idea, war methods, ever-changing stratagem and rare commanding art and defeated the Japanese imperialists who styled themselves the "leader of Asia". Herein lies the great significance of the President's anti-Japanese revolutionary exploits.

He led various stages of social revolutions and socialist construction to victory on the basis of the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu and rich experiences created by him during the anti-Japanese war.

The country associated with his whole life threw its rays as invincible power thanks to Kim Jong Il.

The Juche revolution which started from Mt. Paektu has made a long drive under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il. On this historic advance the DPRK is shining as the invincible power making a leaping forward to an economic power in the high-pitched drive to carry out the industrial revolution in the new century and make a breakthrough for cutting edge with the inexhaustible national power with the military muscle as a pillar.

The DPRK is now ushering in the greatest heyday of prosperity while making the eye-opening creation and changes as it is led by Marshal Kim Jong Un who is successfully carrying forward the great cause of Mt. Paektu, possessed of the mettle and spirit of Mt. Paektu.

Minju Joson praises the revolutionary exploits the President and Kim Jong Il performed by making the history of new Korea and adding brilliance to it. Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's Korea will prosper forever as Kim Jong Un, identical to them, is leading the Korean people, it stresses.
