Kim Jong Il's Distinguished Political Ability, Source of Great Changes

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 27 (KCNA) -- The cause of socialism has made a great progress in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea thanks to the distinguished political ability of Leader Kim Jong Il. In the 1990s the imperialists and reactionaries further intensified their anti-DPRK campaign than ever before, availing themselves of the collapse of socialism in various countries and advertising the "end of socialism".
    In his famous work "Socialism Is a Science" published on November 1, Juche 83 (1994), Kim Jong Il clarified the scientific accuracy and truthfulness of socialism and the inevitability of its victory in a profound way to refute the sophism of the imperialists and reactionaries and to implant firm faith in socialism in the minds of people.
    He provided correct ideological and theoretical guidelines for the accomplishment of the socialist cause by publishing several works including "Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism."
    With the front of anti-imperialism and military affairs becoming the main front of the revolution, he has put forward the revolutionary philosophy that the army is the Party, state and people and began pursuing a unique policy based on the Songun idea.
    Over the last decade from January 1, Juche 84 (1995) he has inspected army units on 580 occasions to increase the nation's defence capabilities.
    Thanks to the revolutionary armed forces strengthened under his Songun-based leadership, the Korean people have won victory in the confrontation with the imperialists and dynamically pushed ahead with the building of a great socialist prosperous powerful nation, defying manifold trials and difficulties.
    Since Order 0051 of the supreme commander of the Korean People's Army on the construction of Chongryu Bridge (second stage) and Kumrung Tunnel No.2 was issued on November 9, 1994, a fresh progress has been made in construction in the country.
    Under his wise guidance, national power with the defence industry as the core has been consolidated, and more than 284,800 hectares of land were rezoned into large-size standardized fields in Kangwon, North and South Phyongan, South Hwanghae provinces and Pyongyang over the last six years, obtaining 6,400-odd hectares of new arable land.
    The last decade has witnessed the construction of over 1,600 modern villages across the country.
    Many edifices have made their appearance. Among them are the Kaechon-Lake Thaesong Waterway, Anbyon Youth Power Station, Anbyon Youth Power Station No.2, Kwangmyongsong Saltern, August 1 Youth Saltern, Academy of Koryo Medicine, basic foodstuff factories, poultry farms, Ryongmun Cavern, Songam Cavern and Kuwolsan recreation ground.
