Songun Korea Praised

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 20 (KCNA) -- The world progressives call the DPRK advancing under the uplifted banner of Songun "Songun Korea". This reflects their praises of the DPRK defending the dignity and sovereignty of the country and achieving the prosperity of the nation under the banner of Songun.
    The DPRK is highly regarded as "Songun Korea" because it holds leader Kim Jong Il in high esteem.
    In the past when Korea lacked a great leader, it was called a "weak colonial country" and a "secluded country". But after the country was liberated by President Kim Il Sung Korea came to be called the DPRK and honoured with various noble titles.
    The DPRK was called "democratic Korea" and "people's country" in the period of building a new country and "heroic Korea" and "fighting Korea" in the period of the Fatherland Liberation War.
    It wrought epoch-making miracles on the debris after the war.
    It was called "socialist Korea" and "Juche Korea" from a "country of Chollima". It was given more titles such as a "tax-free country", a "country independent, self-supporting and self-reliant in national defence," a "country of Renaissance in the 20th century" and a "country centred on the popular masses".
    In the crucible of the life and death struggle to defend socialism and build a great prosperous powerful nation in the 1990s the DPRK came to be called "Songun Korea".
    Songun, an epitome of the great revolutionary feats of Kim Jong Il, serves as an all-powerful treasured sword which guarantees the eternal victory and prosperity of Korea.
