Now the DPRK is basked in the glow of world attention as a powerful socialist fortress which is dignified with independence, remains rich and strong thanks to self-support and emerges victorious thanks to self-defence and the people-centered socialist country envied by all people. This is the precious fruition of the outstanding leadership of the great President who devoted himself to the victory of the revolution only.

The idea and cause of the fatherly President were successfully carried forward thanks to ardent loyalty, scientific wisdom and enthusiastic leadership of the great General Kim Jong Il. Now the DPRK is greeting a new era of leap forward thanks to you respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, another peerlessly great man acclaimed by the Korean nation.

Under the leadership of you, the best in idea and leadership, personality and virtues, the DPRK is demonstrating before the world the might of single-mindedly united politico-ideological power, matchless military power with the strongest nuclear deterrence and youth power without an equal in the world. Under the unfurled banner of the principle of giving priority to self-development the DPRK has ushered in a fresh Mallima era doing 10 years' work in one year and is bringing about epoch-making miracles and dramatic changes in building a socialist economic giant and a highly civilized nation.

Paektu for reunification and the great programme for independent reunification advanced by you Marshal Kim Jong Un, the illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu.
