Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Observed

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

   Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates an article to the 20th anniversary of the publication of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's famous work " On Firmly Establishing the Revolutionary Outlook on the Leader among Officials".
    The work reviews the history of the Korean revolution characterized by intense loyalty to the leader and devoted defence of him and elaborates on the essence of the revolutionary outlook on the leader, importance and significance of establishing it and the tasks and ways to do so.
    The history of the Korean revolution is the history which was carved out and has made a victorious advance thanks to the spirit of devotedly defending the leader, the article notes, and goes on:
    The undisputed trust in the leader and the transparent spirit of devotedly defending him were the inexhaustible mental power that enabled the young communists to successfully pave the true way for the Korean revolution, regarding themselves as flames spreading over the land and a hammer breaking the chains. They remained true to the sense of the obligation towards the leader as revolutionary soldiers by presenting the august name of the sun to President Kim Il Sung and creating the song of "Star of Korea" and disseminating it to people and shouting "Long live Hanbyol!" at the last moments of their lives. They were, indeed, the incarnations of the devoted defence of the leader.
    The DPRK is a heroic country which defeated two imperialisms in one generation and a country of miracles as it built a socialist power, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence, in a historically brief span of time on the ruins after the war. The spirit of devotedly defending the leader was the source of the inexhaustible strength that brought about such shining victories and miracles.
    It is the most precious truth taught by the history of the Korean revolution that there is no formidable enemy in the world which cannot be defeated and there is no fortress unconquerable when the army and people have a great leader and they are replete with the transparent spirit of devotedly defending the leader.
    The above-said spirit which was highly displayed in the annals of the Korean revolution has been given the fullest play in the era of Songun steered by Kim Jong Il.
    This spirit serves as life-giving water which helps prepare the army and people of the DPRK as those strong in faith, will and mental power and as the main source of augmenting the might of the single-minded unity in the Songun era in every way and a main engine for bringing about great leaping advances in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
    Ours is invincible socialism under which all the servicepersons and people are single-mindedly united around the headquarters of the revolution.
    No force on earth can shake their absolute trust in the leader and their faith in devotedly defending the leader.
