Efforts to Glorify Kim Il Sung's Feats Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today editorially calls upon the people to do their utmost to add luster to the exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung in building a rich and powerful country. The ideas, line and policies advanced by the President with his clairvoyant wisdom serve as steadfast guidelines in building such a country, and the solid foundations of independent economy and production potentials built with his iron will and distinguished leadership are very valuable assets for the country's eternal prosperity, the editorial notes, and goes on:
    Basing himself on the Juche idea, Kim Il Sung unrolled clear-cut blueprints for building the country in every period and at every stage of the developing revolution. His Juche idea serves as a banner to be held aloft by the Korean people in building a rich and powerful country and his working method is the revolutionary one applied by them to practice. His behest serves as the lifeline for building such a country.
    He led the two revolutionary wars and the social revolution at two stages to victory and laid solid foundations for the eternal prosperity of Songun Korea, while turning misfortune into a blessing and adversity into favorable conditions. Thanks to these foundations, the DPRK is now demonstrating its might as a country strong in ideology, a military power and a country with strong independent national economy.
    It is necessary to further strengthen and glorify the revolutionary party of Juche type, the invincible revolutionary armed forces, the single-minded unity of the party, the army and the people around the headquarters of the revolution, the independent national economy and the foundations of self-reliant national defence industry, to which he dedicated himself all his life.
    No other country could look down upon the DPRK or dare provoke it because the authority of the President remains unquestioned.
    His cause of building a rich and powerful country is now being creditably carried out by leader Kim Jong Il.
    Kim Jong Il's Songun leadership is solely geared into materializing the President's idea and glorifying his feats. We should once again make a world-startling leaping advance and innovations in the ongoing general march for the Songun revolution with the same ardent patriotic enthusiasm and the persevering will as were displayed in the period when the Korean people hewed an untrodden path to build a country and built a powerful socialist country on debris under the guidance of the President and in the same spirit as was displayed in the period of the "Arduous March" when a breakthrough was made in the efforts to build a great prosperous powerful nation despite stern trials. The editorial urges all the people to bring about a radical turn in the economic construction and the improvement of standard of people's living under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il this significant year which marks the 60th anniversaries of the Workers' Party of Korea and the liberation of the country and thus eternally glorify the feats performed by the President in building a rich and powerful country.
