Anniversary of Promulgation of Socialist Constitution Marked

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

   Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- Papers Wednesday carry editorials on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the promulgation of the "Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" by President Kim Il Sung. The promulgation of the socialist constitution on Dec. 27, Juche 61 (1972) marked a historic event that brought about a fundamental turn in the state political activities of the Korean people and in their efforts to accomplish the cause of revolution, says Rodong Sinmun.
    It goes on:
    The state mechanism was converted into one which puts main emphasis on national defence and the socialist constitution was renamed Kim Il Sung Constitution at the First Session of the 10th Supreme People's Assembly in September Juche 87 (1998), thus making it possible for the Koreans to firmly defend the President's idea of state building and feats performed by him and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche.
    The socialist system in the DPRK has grown stronger and developed and its might has been augmented despite grim ordeals unprecedented in history.
    The Korean-style socialism is a genuine man-centered socialism where people are considered to be the most valuable and everything serves them.
    It is the supreme principle of the Workers' Party of Korea and the state of the DPRK in all activities to give top priority to the interests of the people.
    The Korean-style socialism is a powerful one unswervingly advancing with the might of the single-minded unity of the army and people around the headquarters of the revolution.
    This unity based on the revolutionary comradeship whose origin goes back to the days when the revolution was pioneered has developed to a higher stage in the Songun era.
    Kim Jong Il's profound loving care for the servicepersons and the people, his tireless and devoted service for them and tested and seasoned leadership served as a motive force that helped the army and people of the DPRK form a community linked with the same destiny who always share the idea, intention and life and death with the leader.
    It is only the DPRK where the army and the people have formed unbreakable close ties with the leader.
    The Korean-style socialism is an invincible one which is defended and emerges ever-victorious by the matchless military force.
    The Korean People's Army equipped with modern offensive and defensive means is taking the lead in making a breakthrough in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation while devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution and firmly protecting the security of the country and the people.
    Kim Jong Il is a peerlessly great man who has put the dignity of the country and the nation on the highest level, the editorial says, calling on all the servicepersons and people to remain true to his idea and leadership with absolute trust in him.
    Minju Joson says that to have Kim Il Sung Constitution is the highest privilege and the greatest honor that can be enjoyed only by the Korean people who have Kim Jong Il at the top post of the revolution.
