Invincible Is DPRK Advancing under Leadership of Songun

KCNA

Release Date: 9/10/2003

Pyongyang, September 9 (KCNA) -- Papers here today run editorials to mark the 55th anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Rodong Sinmun says for 55 years after its foundation the DPRK has traversed the proud road of sovereignty, independence and prosperity, going through any storm and stress in the rigorous history.

The 55 years of the DPRK are a period of heroic struggle and victory in which it has firmly defended the sovereignty and dignity of the country and the nation, foiling every move for aggression and challenge of the imperialists and a period of great creation and change in which it has turned into a powerful socialist country, independent, self-supporting and self-reliant in national defence, paving the untrodden path and a period of devoted service for the people in which it has looked after the destiny of the people and provided them with genuine freedom and happiness in a responsible manner, it says, and goes on:

Upholding leader Kim Jong Il's idea and guidance with loyalty is most ardent patriotism and a decisive guarantee for further demonstrating the dignity of the Republic.

He represents the motherland and destiny of the nation. All the officers and men of the People's Army and the people should cherish the undisputed loyalty to him and hold higher the banner of devotedly defending the leadership of the revolution. They should approach and put into practice everything from the stand of devotedly defending the leadership of the revolution, become his faithful comrades who share the same destiny with him and make a long journey of the Songun revolution to the last.

To build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation is the fighting goal of the Republic and the fixed will of the Workers' Party and people of Korea.

The invincible military power guarantees the building of a great prosperous powerful nation. Only when the army is strong, is it possible to firmly protect the gains of the revolution and successfully push ahead with economic construction.

All the officers and men of the People's Army should firmly hold the arms of the revolution and justice given by the Party, safeguard the leadership of the revolution headed by him at the cost of their lives and defend socialism of Korean style.

The drive to build a great prosperous powerful socialist country is a struggle to convert the Republic into an economic power. All the people should possess the fixed fighting spirit and grit and progressive style of work to demonstrate the motherland of Songun to the world and build and create all things as he does. Only then is it possible to turn the country into a great prosperous powerful country in the near future.

Independence is the life and soul of the Republic. The DPRK will, in the future, too, not make even the slightest concession in defending the supreme interests of the country and the nation, but fight against the imperialists to the bitter end in a do-or-die spirit. Invincible is the just cause of the Korean people who are fighting in firm unity with the people of all the countries advocating independence in the invariable idea of the foreign policy: independence, peace and friendship.

Minju Joson underscores the need to fully demonstrate the dignity and might of the Republic under his guidance of Songun.
