Papers Editorially Observe Birthday of DPRK

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

   Pyongyang, September 9 (KCNA) -- Papers here today dedicate editorials to the 59th anniversary of the foundation of the DPRK.
    The foundation of the DPRK by President Kim Il Sung on September 9, Juche 37 (1948) was a historic event that opened up a new era of building a socialist state centered on the popular masses and a great auspicious event that brought about a radical turn in carving out the destiny of the Korean nation, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:
    The President is a distinguished politician and peerless patriot who built the most dignified and prosperous socialist power of Juche in this land with his clairvoyant wisdom and energetic leadership.
    The President, who founded and led the DPRK, was the only state leader who put the dignity and position of the country on a high level and performed such great exploits before the nation in his generation and the Korean people are the only people who inherited the great revolutionary heritage for the country's prosperity from their leader.
    Our socialist country is a precious crystal of the President's idea of believing in the people as in Heaven and his leadership and the DPRK is the state of the President which can go only by his august name.
    Today the DPRK is winning victory after victory and prospering on the basis of the Songun revolutionary leadership exploits of Kim Jong Il.
    The DPRK is a great country prospering thanks to the independent politics of Kim Jong Il and an impregnable socialist power prospering thanks to the military power built by him under the banner of Songun.
    It is also a promising country in which the whole Party and army and all the people are united around him single-mindedly, the glorious country of Kim Il Sung shining with the august name of the President, the founder of socialist Korea, and a country prospering with his idea and feats as an eternal foundation.
    The DPRK will dynamically advance along the road of victory and glory under the banner of Songun in the future, too.
    Minju Joson says the nearly 60 year-long history covered by the DPRK along the road of Songun proves that no force on earth can block the path before all the servicepersons and people holding in high esteem and following the President and Kim Jong Il forever. Very bright is the prospect of the DPRK which has greeted the dawn of a great prosperous powerful nation, the paper notes.
