The statement said:

The work evoked lively response among world people right after its publication.

The book authored by the great man was just like a fresh air as we were almost choked in face of criticism by imperialists and renegades of socialism who talked about the "end of socialism" by taking the advantage of a series of collapse of socialism in various countries.

The preceding socialist theory that attached importance to material and economic factors only could hardly escape historical limitations.

Comrade Kim Il Sung founded the man-centered Juche idea, the first of its kind in history, and built Korean-style socialism which thoroughly embodied it.

Comrade Kim Jong Il who personified the idea and traits of the President further developed in depth the Juche idea and the idea and theory of socialist construction, clearly indicating the road to be followed by the working people.

Socialism in the DPRK is solid and it has dynamically advanced toward the final victory despite nuclear threat, blockade and economic sanctions by the imperialists.

Socialism centered on the popular masses is the most scientific, advantageous and powerful one.

It is sure to triumph for its scientific accuracy and truth.
