Ryongnam Hill Tells Kim Jong Il's Firm Pledge

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

   Pyongyang, September 1 (KCNA) -- Ryongnam Hill is a significant place where Kim Jong Il made a firm pledge to shine Korea.
    He, who matriculated at Kim Il Sung University, climbed up Ryongnam Hill on September 1, Juche 49 (1960) to make public his famous poem "Korea, I Will Glorify Thee" carrying his unswerving faith and will to exalt the brilliance of Korea for all ages.
    True to his pledge, he has conducted energetic revolutionary activities for the protection of the ideas and cause of President Kim Il Sung and for the prosperity and happiness of the country and the people.
    He has realized the single-minded unity, the great foundation of the revolution, in the course of wisely leading the efforts for transforming the whole society after the Juche idea and has glorified Korea as the eternal home of Juche.
    In particular, in the middle of the 1990s when the destiny of Korea was challenged by the moves of the imperialists to stifle the DPRK, he held aloft the banner of Songun and thus turned the unfavorable circumstances into favorable ones and the misfortune into the blessing.
    He defended the destiny of the country and people with the Korean People's Army as the pillar and main force of revolution and let the entire people learn from the revolutionary soldier spirit borne by the Songun era so as to effect a great change in the socialist construction as a whole.
    During the ten years from 1995 to 2004, tens of thousands of objects were commissioned or constructed, the arable land was realigned into large standardized fields throughout the country and great edifices were built in different parts of the country. All these were miracles to be lauded in the 5,000-year history of the nation.
    As he pledged on Ryongnam Hill, leader Kim Jong Il continues his inspection tour of army units and factories and farms and brings about epoch-making changes on this land. His great exploits will shine long along with the prospering Songun Korea.
