The history of the Korean revolution is that of self-reliance, in which the Korean people have advanced, overcoming all sorts of difficulties by their own efforts without dependence on others.

The revolutionary spirit of self-reliance was created in the flames of the anti-Japanese revolutionary war waged under the banner of self-reliant independence. This spirit has been steadily carried forward in the whole course of building a new country after Korea's liberation (August 15, 1945) from Japan's colonial rule, the Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953), the postwar reconstruction and socialist construction.

The spirit is based on the revolutionary world outlook of Juche and embodies in it the requirements of the Juche idea.

While settling all the problems arising in the revolution and construction by their own efforts under the guidance of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, the Korean people grasped the truth of "Self-reliance is the only way to survive!" as their faith.

It is the steadfast will of the DPRK people to win a fresh victory in socialist construction by consolidating their own strength, their internal force, in every way under the guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, holding aloft the banner of self-reliance, a national trait of Juche Korea and the one and only fighting spirit of the Korean revolution.
