The ideological and moral basis of the principle of our state first is the immortal Juche idea and Kim Jong Il's patriotism.

The history of the DPRK is the one in which it has regarded the great Juche idea - the acme in the history of human thought - as a state political idea and undauntedly advanced along the road of independence. Korea, once a country torn with sycophancy and dogmatism and big powers' theatre of fierce scramble for bringing it under their thumb, has towered at the centre of the world political structure as a bulwark of independence and invincible socialist fortress. This is priceless fruit born by the great Juche idea and politics of independence.

Patriotism full in the hearts of the Korean people today is Kim Jong Il's patriotism running through with noble outlooks on the country, its people and younger generation.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is precious ideological and moral pabulum for people who love the country and people and the ideological and moral source instilling courage and vigor into all people who struggle for the country and people.

All the officials, party members and other working people will have to step up the ongoing grand march for demonstrating the prestige and dignity of our state before the world by thoroughly applying the immortal Juche idea and Kim Jong Il's patriotism.
