The 70-odd year-long history of the DPRK is a victorious and glorious course in which the dignity and might of Juche Korea have been displayed under the wise guidance of the peerlessly great men who built a powerful socialist state and glorified it.

President Kim Il Sung, who founded the Juche idea and applied it to hew out the untrodden path for independent development of the DPRK, had invariably maintained the principle of independence in politics, self-support in the economy and self-reliance in national defence in state building and activities.

From the stand of Juche, he settled all the problems in keeping with the Korean people's interests and the specific conditions of the country. His guidance was the main source that made the DPRK win victory in socialist construction and turn into a powerful socialist country.

Chairman Kim Jong Il attached great importance to adhering to independence and realizing the independent politics in state activities from the very days of his revolutionary leadership. He set forth the slogans "Let us meet the requirements of Juche in ideology, technology and culture!" and "Let us live our own way!" to advance the Korean revolution along the road of independence.

When socialism was collapsed in some countries due to the imperialists' vicious anti-socialist moves, he held higher the banner of independence and Songun (military-first) and thus turned the DPRK into a world military power and laid a solid foundation for building an economic power.

The DPRK, a patriotic legacy left by the President and the Chairman, is displaying its dignity and mightiness all over the world under the guidance of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

The Supreme Leader advanced an idea of giving full play to our state-first spirit in the state building and activities and highly important guidelines for building a powerful socialist nation and built up the country's defense capability as the strongest.

Under his energetic guidance, new spirit and speed representing the era were created and the national power of the DPRK has been remarkably built up.
