Constitutional Day of DPRK Marked

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

   Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- Papers here today carry editorials on the occasion of the constitutional day of the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun in its editorial says: With the promulgation of the Socialist Constitution on Dec. 27, Juche 61 (1972) by President Kim Il Sung, the Korean people could consolidate the achievements in the revolution and construction and give full play to the advantages and invincibility of Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses.
    The First Session of the 10th Supreme People's Assembly held in Juche 87 (1998) marked an occasion of important switchover in further developing the state and social system and strengthening the political, military and economic might of the country in every way as newly required by the Songun revolution. The Socialist Constitution was renamed the Kim Il Sung Constitution and the system of state organs changed into the system with the National Defence Commission as its backbone so as to make it possible to firmly defend the President's idea and exploits of state building in the new century and ensure a victorious advance of the Songun cause of Juche under any grave circumstances.
    Calling upon all the people to bear in mind the great pride of advancing the socialist cause of Juche with the greatest Kim Il Sung Constitution and speed up their advance in the new century, the editorial goes on:
    The whole Party, the entire army and all the people should uphold the Songun idea and leadership of Kim Jong Il with loyalty in one mind, bring about a surge of the Songun revolution and thus make a new turn in the building of a great prosperous powerful country.
    The U.S. imperialists and other reactionaries are now more vicious in their moves for ideological and cultural infiltration and economic blockade to undermine Korean-style socialism. This reality requires to further strengthen the socialist law-abiding life.
    The editorial calls for establishing the revolutionary atmosphere of law observance in the whole society.
    Minju Joson editorially calls for applying the Kim Il Sung Constitution thoroughly to step up the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
