The Immortal Feats of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il who Laid the Eternal Foundation for the Building of a Powerful Socialist Country

Today all the people in the DPRK are waging a vigorous struggle to achieve the goal of the struggle set forth in the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea, united patriotically in a hearty response to the important tasks set forth by the 9th and 10th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the WPK. The whole country is full of determination to realize the desire for patriotism and a powerful country of the Chairman Kim Jong Il at any cost under the leadership of the Party, feeling boundless reverence for him, who provided the eternal foundation for the building of a powerful socialist country with his tireless energetic revolutionary leadership.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Having been born as the son of Mt Paektu, General Kim Jong Il made really imperishable achievements for our Party and revolution and for our country and people."

Chairman Kim Jong Il laid an eternal foundation for the prosperity of socialist Korea.

Having cherished firm faith in the victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered in Mt. Paektu, he wisely led the revolution and construction with his outstanding ideology and leadership despite the violently changing vortex of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Today the DPRK is advancing towards the bright future with great vitality in spite of the worst ordeals, demonstrating its independent dignity and great national power at the highest level, which is largely due to the cost of the arduous hardships he went through.

Our people felt sure that his ideology and feats were the infinite strength of socialist Korea and the guarantee of victory through the past struggle, which was marked by a great leap forward and a great change.

Chairman Kim Jong Il built the DPRK into an invincible military power with his unique Songun politics, which is an ever-glorious feat.

The national power is none other than the military power.

Only the leader, who skillfully combines politics and military affairs in the present world where the imperialists' high-handed and arbitrary practices are rampant, can firmly defend the dignity and sovereignty of the country and the nation.

Having cherished an absolute truth that the destiny of the country and the nation depends on the invincible arms from his early days, he made great painstaking efforts to strengthen the military power throughout his revolutionary leadership.

Although the whole period of the Korean revolution was arduous and fierce, the last decades of the 20th century were the worst trials for the DPRK.

The imperialists' offensive to stifle the DPRK, concentrated due to the collapse of the world socialist system, had reached an extreme.

Keeping in mind the noble responsibility for the destiny of the country and nation, Chairman Kim Jong Il opened up a new stage for strengthening the national power with Songun politics.

Even though he shed tears of blood in his mind over dead factories and people suffering from food difficulties, the road of Songun, which he had chosen decisively, was a life-and-death path that he was ready to risk his life as well as a rough road that ordinary politicians would never dare.

But with strong faith and courage to see who laughed last, he never hesitated to go through the steep cliff, the wave-raging sea and the wild snowstorm he faced on the road of strengthening the military power.

In those days, the Korean People's Army grew up into a-match-for-a-hundred powerful army that can smash any formidable enemy at a blow, and our national defence industry developed into a reliable arsenal of the Juche revolution which can make any cutting-edge weapons.

This is a tremendous force that could firmly defend socialism as well as the dignity and sovereignty of the country and the nation in the fierce confrontation with the imperialists trying to stifle the DPRK.

It is the brilliant fruition of his inexhaustible Songun revolutionary leadership that a small country which had been mercilessly trampled down by the redivision of the world powers in the last century emerged as an invincible military power and fortress of socialism which no great powers dare to look down.

It is the great historic feat of Chairman Kim Jong Il, the peerlessly great man, who led the unprecedented struggle for defending socialism to victory after victory with his unique Songun politics to firmly defend the lifeline of the Juche revolution and provide our people with a peaceful and stable life without war.

His brilliant feat of laying a solid foundation for the building of a powerful socialist country with his ardent patriotic devotion will be eternally recorded in the history of our motherland.

It was his lifelong desire to provide our people who shared their destiny with the Party with a rich and civilized life that the world admires.

That is why he unfolded a bright blueprint of prosperity unprecedented in the history of our country and devoted everything to its realization.

The fact that the forced march of his field guidance, which was carried out by Chairman Kim Jong Il all his life, would be over 1 674 610 ri, equivalent to 17 laps around the earth, touches the hearts of people for his devotion to the country and the people.

Chairman Kim Jong Il, who had ardent love for the country and the nation, continued his forced march of field guidance in the last period of his great revolutionary life.

Thanks to the heroic epic of the peerless patriot, who was consistent with patriotic devotion, in our country, the torch of a new revolutionary upsurge could be shone, overcoming all the trials and difficulties, and a wonderful reality in which the appearance of the country changes day by day could be opened.

The solid foundations of the self-reliant economy provided by Chairman Kim Jong Il with a great vision for the distant future of the country, a large contingent of science and technology talents, valuable experience of struggle and examples of the times serve as a precious asset for the overall development of socialism of our own style and a source of leap forward for building a powerful socialist country.

The feats in the leadership of Chairman Kim Jong Il who laid the eternal foundation for the building of a powerful socialist country with his ardent and patriotic devotion to ensure that the national power is strong and boundlessly prosperous throughout his revolutionary leadership and that the people enjoy a happy life with nothing to envy in the world will be shone forever along with the history of the country.
