Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Observed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday dedicates a signed article to the 13th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "Our Socialism Centred on the Masses Shall Not Perish." The work, published on May 5, Juche 80 (1991), clarifies that Korean style socialism is people-centred socialism based on the Juche idea and invincible socialism whose advantages and vitality are fully proven in all fabrics of social life and under which the leader, the party and people are singleheartedly united.
    Recalling that Kim Jong Il has glorified Korean-style socialism, the article says that his wise guidance finds its manifestation in that he provided guidelines for triumphantly advancing the cause of socialism despite any difficulties under the banner of Songun.
    The article goes on:
    The Songun idea set out by Kim Jong Il on the basis of a scientific analysis of the requirements of the developing era is an idea of protecting the country and pushing forward the overall socialist construction, regarding the military affair as the most important state affair and the army as a mainstay and core force. The Songun idea helps give priority to the work of increasing the military capability as required by the changed conditions and circumstances and effect a new surge in the development of revolution with the might of the idea and spirit of the revolutionary army.
    It, therefore, serves as precious guidelines indicating a true way of winning a victory in the cause of independence in the 21st century.
    His wise guidance also finds its expression in that he built up a powerful driving force for the accomplishment of the socialist cause with the People's Army as a model and provided a sure guarantee for the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation despite the most rigorous trial of the revolution.
    The army and people of the DPRK will remain true to the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il with loyalty and eternally glorify people-centred socialism of Korean style built by President Kim Il Sung.
