Holding Kim Jong Un in high esteem as first secretary of the WPK and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK was a great political event and a great national jubilee which marked a landmark of an epochal turn in the drive for strengthening the party and building a thriving nation, newspapers say.

The past four years represent a period of important significance in the destiny and future of the WPK and the country which have a history of more than seven decades, Rodong Sinmun says, adding:

In this period Kim Jong Un, possessed of gifted ideological and theoretical wisdom, rare leadership ability and noble popular traits, strikingly demonstrated his personality as a peerlessly great man.

His experienced and tested leadership has brought about such miracles of history as perfectly carrying out urgent tasks of the times arising in the party building and state activities without any slight deviation and turns and twists and made it possible for the flags of the WPK and the DPRK reflecting the destiny of the people fly high and ushered in a new heyday of national prosperity startling the world.

Kim Jong Un proclaimed the modeling of the whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the supreme programme of our party at the outset of the new century of Juche and set it as the eternal strategy of our revolution to keep to the road of independence, Songun and socialism. This is a noteworthy event of our party and the history of the country.

He has adorned the whole course from the day he began leading our party and state up to this date with his iron faith and will to creditably carry forward the Songun revolutionary cause of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Un, regarding Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's idea of believing in the people as in Heaven as his lifetime maxim, has wisely led the work to thoroughly embody the people-first doctrine in all fields of party and state activities.

Minju Joson says that no force on earth can block the army and people of the DPRK dynamically advancing full of faith in victory and optimism, holding in high esteem Kim Jong Un at the top posts of the party and state.
