   Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- Papers today dedicate editorials to the 43rd anniversary of Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
    Rodong Sinmun in its editorial says that the history of the revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il is shining as the history of a great statesman who has exalted the dignity and position of the country and the nation to the highest level despite grim ordeals of history.
    Noting that the WPK has embodied the class principle as well as the principle of national independence in the revolution and construction, steadily consolidating and developing the people-centered Korean-style socialism, achieving the prosperity and development of the country and demonstrating the dignity, wisdom and stamina of Kim Il Sung's nation, the editorial continues:
    Kim Jong Il's steadfast independent politics is reinforcing the Korean people's faith of sure victory and making progressive humankind optimistic about the future of independent new world.
    His Songun politics serves as an ever-victorious treasured sword for accomplishing the socialist cause in the present era. It was the Songun politics that saved the country and the people from the crossroads of life and death during the "Arduous March," the forced march and made it possible for the servicepersons and people to firmly defend the red flag of socialism, demonstrating their might as independent guards and heroic people.
    Inexhaustible is the strength of the revolutionary armed forces in the DPRK built under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il and invulnerable is the DPRK.
    His politics of unity has served as a decisive factor that turned the whole country into monolithic social and political organism and brought about shining victories in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The might of the great army-people unity resulted in signal successes in the nation's agricultural production and in the efforts to improve the standard of people's living and appearance of many monumental edifices in different parts of the country. Such eye-opening reality instills great conviction and optimism into the Korean people.
    The country has witnessed the greatest success in the drive to achieve its new prosperity under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il. The WPK, the revolution and Korean-style socialism are sure to always emerge victorious as there are the great headquarters of revolution indicating the way to be followed by all the servicepersons and people, their single-minded unity around the headquarters and the strong political and military capabilities built despite difficulties.
    Minju Joson editorially calls upon all the people to wage a dynamic struggle for the victorious advance in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation and the ultimate victory in the revolutionary cause of Juche under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.
