President Kim Il Sung formed the DIU on October 17, Juche 15 (1926).

The formation of the DIU served as the starting point of the struggle for founding a Juche-type revolutionary party, a new-type party different from the previous parties in Korea.

The programme of the DIU served as the basis of the programme of the WPK and its principle of independence as the principle of the WPK's building and activities, and the revolutionaries of the new generation trained by the DIU became the backbone for founding the WPK.

The WPK has consistently maintained the idea of the DIU.

Thus, the Party's lines and policies have been always correct and won a brilliant victory.

The lines and policies advanced by the President since the liberation of Korea, including the agrarian reform policy, the policy of agricultural cooperativization, the basic line of socialist economic construction and the line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the defence building, have been rooted in the idea of the DIU, displaying their great vitality.

Under the wise guidance of Chairman Kim Jong Il, the WPK fully demonstrated its ever-victorious might.

He clarified that the WPK is a revolutionary party of Juche which inherited the glorious tradition of the DIU and successfully trained the Korean people to be one with an independent revolutionary spirit. This is the great exploit performed by Kim Jong Il in the history of party building.

The WPK is now further developing into the great Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Party and a promising and militant party under the energetic guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is creditably carrying forward the tradition of the DIU as the lifeline and eternal cornerstone of the Korean revolution.

Last year, on the significant day when the formation anniversary of the DIU was greeted, Kim Jong Un clarified the idea and theory of party building in the new era of the Juche revolution in a lecture given to the teaching staff and students of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK.
