Day of Socialist Constitution Observed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- Papers here dedicate editorials to the 32nd anniversary of President Kim Il Sung's promulgation of the "Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" that is December 27, Juche 61 (1972). This marked a historic event of great significance in the political life of the Korean people and their efforts to accomplish the cause of the revolution.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday says the first session of the 10th Supreme People's Assembly held in September Juche 87 (1998) marked a momentous occasion in further consolidating and developing the state and social system to meet the new requirements of the Songun revolution. It goes on:
    The session reorganized the state machinery in order to enable it to carry out the cause of Songun, renamed the Socialist Constitution Kim Il Sung Constitution, thus, providing a sure legal guarantee for firmly upholding the President's idea of building the state and his exploits performed in it and accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche in all fields under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    We do all work including not only the work in the fields of politics, military affairs, economy and culture but the work of bringing the masses into action and the anti-imperialist struggle as intended and instructed by the President and as required by Juche under any circumstances. We are building a great prosperous powerful nation our own way in conformity with the actual conditions of our country and in line with the desire and wishes of the people. We have frustrated the brigandish U.S. imperialists' vicious moves to stifle Korean-style socialism with the Juche-oriented strategy and tactics.
    The invincible military power built by Kim Jong Il under the uplifted banner of independence, the banner of great Songun, provides a sure guarantee for resolutely foiling any pressure and attempt to hurt the socialist system, a precious gain of the Korean revolution, and pushing ahead with everything in accordance with our faith and pluck.
    The unity of the Korean revolutionary ranks in mind has grown stronger as the days go by thanks to the Songun leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and its policy of loving servicepersons and people. This serves as the most powerful weapon to smash the U.S. imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and gives a strong impetus to the drive for building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
    We should hold Kim Jong Il, a great brilliant commander pursuing the Songun policy, in higher esteem and wage a vigorous struggle to devotedly defend the Korean-style socialist system and further glorify it, under his leadership.
    It is necessary to increase the function and role of the socialist law as a weapon of the working class struggle and thoroughly establish the legal order as required by the present situation where the confrontation with the U.S. is getting extremely acute in order to prevent capitalist elements from infiltrating into our society.
    Minju Joson Sunday called for accelerating the building of a great prosperous powerful nation by thoroughly applying the Socialist Constitution under the banner of Songun.
