Rodong Sinmun says the beaming image of Kim Jong Il is the source of the invincible might of the servicepersons and people which inspires them with conviction and optimism while his behests represent the banner of everlasting victory and prosperity of the country.

The paper goes on:

His behests are the vivid expression of his lifetime mission of giving priority to the people and respecting and loving them.

He worked heart and soul, with his heart ablaze with enthusiasm and love throughout his life, with inexhaustible energy to protect the destiny of the people and provide them with happiness.

The history of his forced march which he made even on holidays and his birthdays for the future of the country is a great epic of heroic self-sacrifice which would touch everyone to tears.

He is still alive in the hearts of the people as he performed great exploits for the people huge enough to fill the sea and reach the sky, being exposed to all hardships suffered by a revolutionary and a human being.

Today, Marshal Kim Jong Un holds fast to his idea and behests as the eternal guidelines of the revolution and arouses all the servicepersons and people to the struggle for implementing them.

Kim Jong Un carries on the forced march associated with the epic of prioritizing the people's interests and respecting and loving them and ushers in a new history of remarkable creation and changes in which mountains and rivers are changed in a year, not in a decade, and a great change is made day after day.

The paper calls for building the greatest power and a paradise of the people where the behests of Kim Jong Il are translated into a reality under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.

Minju Joson editorially calls for bringing earlier the final victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche by carrying forward the idea and cause of Kim Jong Il, single-mindedly united around Kim Jong Un.
