At the meeting held by the workers and trade union members at the Central Hall of Workers a reporter and speakers recalled that President Kim Il Sung founded the DPRK on September 9, Juche 37 (1948) and developed it into a socialist state with firm political and military foundation and strong self-supporting economy.

Chairman Kim Jong Il formulated the Songun politics into the main political mode under socialism, established the state machinery system centered on national defence and thus provided a firm guarantee for accomplishing the Juche-oriented cause of socialism, they said.

At the meeting held by agricultural workers and agricultural workers' union members at the Unhung Coop Farm in Thaechon County a reporter and speakers said the President provided a cradle of eternal happiness for the Korean people by building a strong socialist nation independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence.

Under his care the torch of agricultural revolution was kindled to realign hundreds of thousands of hectares of land to be worthy of the land of socialist Korea and large-scale orchards were built, they added.

A heyday in the building of a powerful socialist nation has been ushered in under the guidance of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, they said.

They stressed the need to demonstrate the might of socialist Korea, rallied close around him and dynamically struggle to hasten the final victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche.
