Rodong Sinmun, a leading newspaper of the DPRK, stresses this in a signed article Wednesday.

The article says:

The DPRK has displayed its dignity to the world as the homeland of the Songun politics. It is thanks to leader Kim Jong Il, who turned the country into a world-level military power with his most scientific and original political philosophy in the era of independence and distinguished leadership art.

Kim Jong Il provided eternal foundations for the final victory of the Songun revolutionary cause in our country.

Thanks to the Songun policy shaped by him, the DPRK could courageously overcome unprecedented hardships in the 1990s and the new century and defend socialism and dynamically advance the building of a thriving nation, emerging victorious in the life-and-death struggle with the imperialists.

The historic experience of the Korean revolution and the present reality of world politics go to clearly prove the great validity and vitality of the Songun political mode, provided by Kim Jong Il, and its might.

The WPK's Songun policy is now developing in depth under the guidance of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

His energetic guidance over the Songun revolution ensures durable peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and serves as a treasured sword of invincibility for the Korean army and people in building a thriving nation and for progressive mankind advancing along the road of independence.
