Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at Pyongyang Indoor Stadium Saturday with large attendance to commemorate the 95th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
Kim Yong Nam, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, made a report.
He said that the birth of Kim Il Sung was a majestic sunrise as it brought the dawn of national resurrection to the Korean people suffering from the statelessness and promised a new spring to humankind.
The President is a peerlessly great man and outstanding leader whom the Korean nation has acclaimed for the first time in the nation's history spanning more than thousands of years and a gifted thinker and theoretician who fathered the immortal Juche idea that holds the highest and most shining position in human history of thought and ushered in the new era of history, the Juche era, the reporter said, and continued:
Kim Il Sung is an outstanding leader and iron-willed commander who started the Songun revolution and led the cause of independence against imperialism to victory under the banner of the Juche idea, thus saving the destiny of the country and the nation and glorifying it with arms. He is a peerless statesman who built a powerful driving force for the revolution and a genius of creation and construction and father of socialist Korea as he built Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses.
Brilliantly recorded in his glorious history of revolutionary leadership are the precious feats he performed through his tireless activities for the reunification of the country and the independence of the whole world.
His revolutionary idea and feats have been firmly preserved and successfully carried forward by Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il, illustrious commander born of Mt. Paektu, has pursued the Songun politics by developing in depth the Songun idea and line of Juche which have been consistently applied in the whole course of the Korean revolution. This has served as a fundamental source for the Korean revolution to make miraculous victories generation after generation despite manifold difficulties.
The reporter called on all the party members, servicepersons and people to firmly uphold and thoroughly embody the President's idea and line and the glorious revolutionary traditions of the WPK and on all fields and units to implement his last instructions to the letter.
It is necessary to wage a strenuous struggle for the independent reunification of the country under the slogan "Add brilliance to the June 15 era of reunification by attaching importance to the nation, defending peace and achieving unity" and steadily boost international support and solidarity for the Korean revolutionary cause in the idea of independence, peace and friendship, the reporter noted, and continued:
The army and people of the DPRK will closely follow the moves of the U.S. and its allied forces including Japan with a high degree of revolutionary vigilance and firmly defend their ideology, system and just cause by firmly increasing the political and military might of the DPRK under the banner of Songun.
Attending the meeting were senior party, army and state officials and working people in Pyongyang, a delegation of the Central Committee of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front, and delegations of overseas Koreans in various regions including the delegation of Koreans in Japan and overseas compatriots.
