Comrade Kim Jong Il, who regarded it as his lifelong mission to carry forward and accomplish the cause of the Juche revolution which was pioneered by dint of arms, acquired a deep insight into the requirements of the rapidly changing times and the developing revolution and comprehensively systematized the Songun idea through his energetic ideological and theoretical activities.

He established the state machinery with the National Defence Commission as a pivot which applied the principles of the Songun revolution and made sure that all fields were reformed and adjusted as required by Songun, thereby providing a firm political and institutional guarantee for realizing the Songun cause.

He put forward the KPA and wisely led all service personnel and people despite the grim ordeals of the revolution, firmly defending Korean-style socialism established by President Kim Il Sung.

He provided the powerful political and military guarantee for the independent development of the nation, laid economic and cultural foundation, effected a great turn in socialist construction and thus clearly proved the truth that if one takes a firm hold on arms, one can build a worldwide powerful country.

He strengthened the driving force of the Songun revolution, turned the DPRK into the invincible politico-ideological power and laid a strong foundation for it to make a leap forward toward a socialist economic giant and highly civilized power.

He ushered in the June 15 era of reunification advancing in the idea of By Our Nation Itself and firmly defended the peace and security in Asia and the rest of the world, making great contributions to realizing the cause of human independence.

He most perfectly settled the issue of the succession of leadership and gave steady continuity to the Songun revolution and made our army and people be blessed by the illustrious leaders generation after generation. This is the greatest feat he performed for the eternal prosperity of the powerful Paektusan nation.

His Songun revolutionary idea and feats are being successfully carried forward and developed by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

The reporter called for firmly protecting the sovereignty and dignity of the country and bringing earlier the final victory of the cause of building a socialist power, true to the Songun revolutionary leadership of the Party.
