    Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) --The 60-year long history of the Workers' Party of Korea and the country is shining and the Korean nation has an immensely rosy future thanks to the Songun revolutionary leadership exploits of Kim Jong Il. It is necessary to eternally glorify these exploits as an eternal foundation of the WPK and the Korean revolution and the most precious national treasure. Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in an editorial. The editorial goes on:
    Kim Jong Il is the great leader who has made the long history of his revolutionary leadership an epic of steady victory by pursuing original Songun politics. The last one decade occupies a most brilliant page in the glorious 40-odd year-long revolutionary history of his Songun leadership. Never has there been such a period in which astonishing victories and changes have taken place in all fields of the revolution and construction as the last one decade during which his Songun politics has been in force in all domains. Under the banner of Songun the DPRK has consolidated the single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks in every way and firmly built up its military deterrent while providing a solid material foundation for building a great prosperous powerful nation. Modern production bases have been built in different parts of the country to meet requirements of the new century. The land of the country has been realigned as befitting the land of socialist Korea, a signal turn has taken place in the seed improvement and potato farming and many monumental edifices of eternal value have appeared. He has firmly protected the destiny of the country, the nation and socialism despite the most difficult situation and the grimmest trial and brought about epoch-making changes unprecedented in the history of the nation spanning thousands of years, thereby providing a solid foundation for eternal prosperity of Kim Il Sung's Korea and happiness for all generations to come. The Korean people will never forget these immortal exploits no matter how much water may flow under the bridge.
    Included in his Songun revolutionary leadership exploits are all the ideological, theoretical, strategic and tactical guidelines that should be held fast to in the revolution and construction and the tradition of heroic struggle and a wealth of experience in which he has brought about epoch-making miracles and changes by turning adversity into a favorable situation, misfortune into a blessing.
    The above-said exploits serve as an eternal lifeline of the country and revolution and treasure that the Korean nation should hand over to posterity and make them shine for all ages. The editorial calls for steadily developing in depth the work to glorify his feats in all fields in order to bring about a new surge in the drive to build a great prosperous powerful nation and accomplish the cause of Juche.
