Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the April 25 House of Culture Saturday to mark the 59th anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Present at the meeting were senior Party, army and state officials, members of the Cabinet, deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang, officials of the Party, armed forces and power organs, social organizations, ministries and national institutions and working people in Pyongyang, overseas Koreans including members of the congratulatory group of Koreans in Japan and the chief of the Pyongyang mission of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front.
Present there on invitation were diplomatic envoys of different countries, representatives of international organizations and officials of different embassies here.
Kim Yong Il, premier of the Cabinet, in a report said that the foundation of the DPRK was a shining victory of the Juche-oriented line of nation- building advanced by President Kim Il Sung and marked a historic event as it brought about a fundamental turn in carving out the destiny of the Korean nation and accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche.
After the founding of the DPRK it emerged on the international arena as a full-fledged independent and sovereign state although Korea suffered an eclipse on the world map in the past. It was a genuine model in building a socialist state in the human political history, thus positively encouraging the world revolutionary people in their struggle for national and class emancipation and the independence of the popular masses, the reporter said, and continued:
A steady continuity is given to the glorious history of the DPRK thanks to Kim Jong Il and the DPRK is dynamically advancing toward the bright future of a great prosperous powerful country.
The DPRK has self-reliant national defence capability strong enough to beat back any formidable enemy at a single stroke and is demonstrating its might as an invincible military power while energetically pushing forward the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist country, meeting all challenges of the imperialists. This is the most spectacular success made by the army and people of the DPRK in consolidating it under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il of which they feel highly proud.
The reporter called for holding Kim Il Sung in high esteem as the eternal President of the DPRK and founder of socialist Korea in all ages and carrying on the revolutionary struggle and construction as intended by him under any circumstances and thus making the country always shine as the glorious country of Kim Il Sung.
He underlined the need to eternally glorify the Songun revolutionary history of Kim Jong Il, who has brought about the great heyday of the country with his great Songun leadership, as an eternal cornerstone of the DPRK and the most precious national treasure and more thoroughly implement the Workers' Party of Korea's Songun idea and line in all fields of the revolution and construction.
He underscored the need to dynamically wage a nationwide struggle for attaching importance to the nation, defending peace and achieving unity on the basis of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the spirit of "By our nation itself" and thus achieve the historic cause of national reunification without fail.
He stated that the army and people of the DPRK vehemently denounce the reckless moves of the U.S. and the Japanese reactionaries, its ally, and will mercilessly punish those who dare try to infringe upon the sovereignty and interests of the DPRK.
The DPRK government will stand against the imperialists' moves for domination, interference and war and strive to achieve stability and progress in Asia and the rest of the world in unity with the peoples of all countries advocating independence in the idea of independence, peace and friendship, he concluded.
