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

   Pyongyang, February 16 (KCNA) -- Leading papers today dedicate editorials to the birthday of Kim Jong Il.
    Rodong Sinmun says that the February holiday is the greatest national auspicious holiday which makes the servicepersons and people of the DPRK keenly feel the happiness of being blessed with the illustrious leaders generation after generation.
    The paper goes on:
    Kim Jong Il stood in the van of the party and the revolution long ago with the great aim to glorify Korea true to the noble intention of President Kim Il Sung. He has adorned the several decades-long history of his revolutionary leadership with his profound love and dedication to the country and the people. His history of steering the nation-building is a sacred and proud history in which he has made the country immensely shine with the august name of Kim Il Sung and augmented its political and military might in every way, thus demonstrating the might of the DPRK as an invincible power and a great history in which he brought about a heyday of prosperity in this land with epoch-making creations and changes.
    It is the resolution and will of the Workers' Party of Korea to fling open the gate to a great prosperous powerful nation at any cost in 2012 which will mark the centenary of birth of the President by bringing economy and the living standard of the people to a high level by dint of the DPRK's powerful political and military might.
    The DPRK's cause of building a great prosperous powerful nation is the cause which makes dynamic progress thanks to Kim Jong Il's faith in independence, emerges victorious thanks to his Songun revolutionary line and is sure to be accomplished in the spirit of the forced march.
    The Korean people can do anything as they have the single-minded unity around the headquarters of the revolution which has grown stronger than ever before despite the rigorous ordeal, all servicepersons and people have mental power stronger than any nuclear weapon and there are the invincible revolutionary armed forces capable of firmly defending the socialist country under any circumstances.
    Minju Joson calls on all people to vigorously struggle to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche, united closer around Kim Jong Il in hearty response to the call of the Party for glorifying this year, the 60th birthday of the DPRK, as a year of historic turn to go down in the history of the country.
