The work, published on September 5, Juche 97 (2008), is a monumental work which comprehensively clarifies the high dignity, prestige and the source of invincible might of the DPRK and important guidelines to be held fast to in the struggle for the final victory in building a socialist power, the article notes, and goes on:

The eight years since the publication of the work are shining as a proud path along which a series of great victories and miracles unprecedented in the history of socialist construction have been brought about in the DPRK.

Kim Jong Il steered the country to emerge a politico-ideological and military power by making a forced march day and night out of his ardent patriotism until the last moments of his life and laid down an eternal groundwork for a thriving country.

His cause of building a socialist power is making steady progress along the road of victory under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

His experienced and veteran leadership serves as a driving force for making the country advance by leaps and bounds at the Mallima speed under the banner of Juche.

The wise leadership provided by him for developing the DPRK into the most powerful country in the world lies in that he is remarkably consolidating the single-minded unity based on the great revolutionary idea and spirit.

It also lies in that he is increasing the might of the military power in every way, regarding arms as an all-powerful treasured sword for final victory, and enabling the DPRK to shed eternal rays as a socialist power centered on the popular masses.
