President's Idea of Building Prosperous Country Carried into Practice

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

   Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- The cause of building a prosperous and powerful socialist country, which President Kim Il Sung started under the banner of the Juche idea and to which he devoted his whole life, has entered a new historical stage in the Songun era.
    This great reality is a fruition of the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Il, the supreme incarnation of revolutionary loyalty and morality, who is successfully carrying the revolutionary cause of the President to a brilliant reality.
    The last 10-odd years were unforgettable years which witnessed the grimmest ordeals in the history of building a prosperous and powerful nation.
    The world was watching the political situation in the DPRK when the state was mourning the demise of the President in deepest sorrow. At that historical moment, Kim Jong Il declared his unshakable will, stating that there could be no other way but the way indicated by the President and the nation should achieve the prosperity of the country by bringing the intention of President into reality, no matter how long a time it might take.
    His firm will to realize the President's desire at any cost, holding ever higher the banner of Songun, lifted up the whole land from the sea of bitter tears and powerfully roused it to a new general advance.
    The soldiers, deeply inspired by his trust in them that was manifested in putting the People's Army as the main force of the revolution, have steeled themselves into a matchless army, a formidable army sharing the same idea and faith, and won victory after victory in the fierce anti-U.S. confrontation under the guidance of the brilliant commander of Songun.
    And they have undertaken difficult and important projects to make a breakthrough in economic construction under the slogan "Let us take charge both of national defense and socialist construction." The revolutionary soldier spirit representing the great Songun era has come into being in those days.
    The Korean people have overcome difficulties and wrought miracles and innovations in all sectors of building a socialist economy by following the revolutionary soldier spirit and fighting morale of the People's Army.
    Large-scale land rezoning and building of waterways have taken place and power stations and modern industrial establishments cropped up everywhere in the country while wonderful holiday resorts for people were built up in Mt. Kuwol, Mt. Chilbo and other beauty spots.
    Today, the Korean people are engaged in a general offensive to realize the gigantic plan of the Workers' Party of Korea to fling open the gate to the great, prosperous and powerful nation without fail in 2012.
