Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Observed

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

Pyongyang, August 28 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the fifth anniversary of the publication of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's work on thoroughly implementing the line of economic construction in the era of Songun.
The work proves with perfect logic and scientific truth that the line of economic construction which calls for giving priority to the development of the defence industry and simultaneously developing light industry and agriculture is a line of economic construction which provides a sure material and economic guarantee for the Songun revolutionary leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and the implementation of the Songun politics of the WPK and an original line for most correctly combining the issues of defence up-building, economic construction and people's living to find the most successful solution to them and it also proves the idea that this line constitutes an inheritance and development of the basic line of socialist economic construction President Kim Il Sung laid down and consistently maintained.
The ideas and theories set forth in the work are the most correct guidelines for building the economy of the DPRK into advantageous and powerful economy as required by the era of Songun in the 21st century, the article notes, and goes on:
The past five years since the publication of the work are a shining course in which signal victory and achievements have been made in building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
The reality today when the Korean people are waging an all-out offensive for opening up the gate of a great prosperous powerful nation fully confident of victory after building powerful war deterrent and laying a solid groundwork for building an economic power clearly shows how just and vital the above-said line advanced by the WPK is.
The Korean people have firmly defended the sovereignty of the country and Korean-style socialism and protected peace, standing in confrontation with the U.S. imperialists styling themselves the world's only superpower for several decades because the DPRK has the invincible revolutionary armed forces and the powerful defence industry.
The WPK is pursuing the Songun politics in order to defend the sovereignty of the country and socialism and provide a military guarantee for the building of a great prosperous powerful nation and, in the long run, give full play to the advantages of socialism and thus provide the people with a stable and happy life.
It is the steadfast resolution of the WPK to put economy and the standard of people's living onto a high level and fling open without fail the gate of a great prosperous powerful nation in a few years to come. The DPRK's economy is developing by leaps and bounds full of dynamism on the basis of the strong political and military potentials built under the Songun leadership of the WPK.
