Rodong Sinmun says that the DPRK is the glorious country of Kim Il Sung shining with his august name and exploits.

Thanks to April 15 on which the sun of Juche rose, Korea came to shed its bright rays on the world map and epoch-making changes were brought about on this land where backwardness and poverty had once prevailed, it says, and goes on:

As there was the outstanding leadership of the President, the example of the times which defends the dignity and interests of the country and the nation was set and the socialist country of Juche, in which the independent demand of the popular masses was successfully embodied, emerged.

The DPRK is enjoying only victories and glory century after century as there is the heritage associated with the whole patriotic life of the great leader.

Under his leadership the principle of national independence and national self-sustenance was thoroughly embodied in the revolution and construction and the DPRK greeted all the glory which could not be enjoyed in the nation's history spanning thousands of years.

Our socialist country in which the people's beautiful dream and idea come true is the crystal of warm loving care shown by the President for the people.

The Korean people will glorify their socialist country as the country of the President forever by conveying his benevolence generation after generation.

Minju Joson calls on all the people to work hard to bring into a brilliant reality the patriotic desire of the President for a powerful country under the leadership of the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.
