The President was a benefactor of national resurrection and founder of the DPRK and founder and leader of the ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea, whom the Korean people should hold in high esteem for eternity, the papers note, adding that his revolutionary exploits will last forever.

Rodong Sinmun says:

The revolutionary history of the President is shining as a sacred one as he set an example of the times in building a revolutionary party and invincible state under the banner of the Juche idea.

He set forth lots of ideas and lines such as theories on the party's ideological and organizational construction and leadership art, the line of independence in politics, self-support in economy and self-reliance in national defence and the line of the three revolutions-ideological, technical and cultural. They are still displaying tremendous vitality in the party-building and building of a thriving nation.

What is important in his feats performed for party-building and nation-building is that he laid a firm groundwork for the party and country to emerge victorious not only in the present generation but in the generations to come.

It was one of his greatest exploits performed for the eternal future of the party and country that he perfectly settled the issue of succession to the revolutionary cause, in particular.

Thanks to his revolutionary exploits the DPRK has been able to adhere to the revolutionary principle and hold aloft the red flag of socialism and make a breakthrough in the building of a thriving nation even in the worst adversity and usher in a heyday of bolstering the leadership ability and militant might of the party and the power of the great Paektusan nation in the new century of Juche, too.

It was thanks to his popular leadership that the party has been able to be respected as a mother party which has taken care of the people's destiny under its red flag and the country has been able to earn the fame of the mother who brings a worthy life and happiness to the people, protecting them from any storm and stress.

He was a prominent leader and peerless patriot who carved out a rosy future of the party and country, the papers conclude, calling for holding him in high esteem as the eternal sun of Juche for all ages to glorify forever his undying revolutionary career and exploits.
