Rodong Sinmun Observes Anniversary of Publication of Kim Jong Il's Work

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

   Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday dedicates a signed article to the 13th anniversary of the publication of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's work "Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism".
    The work published on June 19, Juche 84 (1995) comprehensively deals with the necessity to give priority to the ideological work in accomplishing the socialist cause, the basic tasks of the ideological work and the principle and ways for conducting it in the socialist society.
    The work is of great significance as it lucidly clarifies the truth of history that socialism wins, if a country holds fast to ideology, but it goes to ruin if it fails to do so, and indicates the way of making the socialist movement exceptionally vital, the article notes, and goes on:
    The publication of the work helped the people of the DPRK grasp the validity of the Party's line of attaching importance to the ideological work as stronger faith and provided the revolutionary parties and people with a powerful ideological and theoretical weapon for dynamically advancing the socialist cause while smashing the moves of the imperialists and the renegades of the revolution.
    The past more than decade since the work was published represents a fruitful period in which the greatness of the WPK steering the revolution and construction with the might of the ideology has been strikingly demonstrated.
    Kim Jong Il has led the revolution and construction to victory with the might of ideology. This wise leadership lies in the fact that he has strictly abided by the principle of giving priority to the ideological work under any conditions and circumstances and made sure that examples of the times were set one after another in the ideological work as required by the developing reality and actively generalized.
    It is thanks to the tested leadership of Kim Jong Il that the WPK has always conducted its ideological work with dynamism and a strong wave of leaping advance is sweeping throughout the country.
    The article calls for more thoroughly embodying the ideas and theories expounded by him in the work in order to glorify this year as a historical year to witness the fullest play of the mental power of all the servicepersons and people and a great leaping advance in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
