The ever-victorious DPRK would be unthinkable without Kim Il Sung, the statement said, and went on:

It was one of the greatest exploits performed by the President that he founded the men-centred Juche idea and built a socialist country centred on the masses in the DPRK by successfully applying the idea to it.

We pay highest tribute to him, once again looking back on his career and undying exploits on the 22nd anniversary of his demise.

His undying exploits performed for the cause of the Juche revolution and the cause of global independence will always be remembered not only by the Korean people but also by progressive humankind.
