September 9 is the founding day of our glorious fatherland - the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Previously infamous for a backward colonial agrarian country, the DPRK now enjoys the admiration of the world as an invincible socialist power centred on popular masses which embodies independence, self-sufficiency, and self-reliant defence. On the occasion of its meaningful 74th founding anniversary, our people are recollecting with pride its history of development.

After President Kim Il Sung founded the DPRK on September 9, 1948, our Republic has pioneered the people-centered socialist cause and accomplished it with brilliance for the first time in history under the banner of Juche idea.

The Juche idea, created by President Kim Il Sung, defines that the popular masses are the masters and motive forces of the revolution and construction. In other words, it means that one is responsible for one’s own destiny and that one also has the ability to shape one’s own destiny.

Ever since the founding of the DPRK, the ruling Party has been built, strengthened and developed into a motherly Party that leads the popular masses with the full responsibility for their destiny, the state government into a householder in charge of the people’s living conditions and servant of the people, and the army into the defender of people’s freedom and happiness as required by the Juche idea.

It has become a people-centered socialist state where people lead independent and creative lives to their satisfaction as the genuine masters of the state and society, and the whole society has been turned into a great socialist family of harmony and happiness where all the members realize their common ideal by helping each other, being united firmly behind the leader as one.

In retrospect, after the World War II, many countries took the socialist path but had no correct guiding idea applicable to their conditions and did not build up their strength, being steeped in flunkeyism of worshipping only big powers and Left opportunism of all hues. Consequently, these countries collapsed in the end owing to the persistent anti-socialist offensives by the imperialists.

However, our Republic has invariably held the banner of socialism, relying on the Juche idea, its sole guiding idea.

Our Republic performed military miracles of defeating the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being the “strongest” in the world during the three-year-long Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953). It has also reliably defended the sovereignty and security of the country, smashing at every step the military threats, war provocations, economic blockade and sanctions imposed by the imperialists as well as their attempts for internal disintegration which have lasted for scores of years.

To deal with the endless nuclear threats and nuclear war exercises of the U.S., our Republic has built up its nuclear forces, the most powerful war deterrence, in the course of strengthening its self-defensive capability. Thus, it has been developed into a political and military power in the real sense of the word.

It also achieved eye-opening successes in the economic sector including the vigorous progress made in putting the national economy on a Juche and modern basis by dint of self-reliance and science and technology.

Today, thanks to the politics of love, affection and trust of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, our people are opening up a new era of a prosperous powerful country, a period of overall development of socialism, helping each other and leading one another.

As our people have never flinched from the road of socialism chosen by themselves and firmly defended their own ideology, system and cause for more than 70 years, their dignity and pride are different from others.

Immortal Juche idea, single-hearted unity which is more powerful than the nuclear weapons, independent national economy of great potential and efflorescing socialist culture constitute an ever-lasting foundation for the eternal prosperity of our nation.

The people-centered socialism of our own style in which people are the genuine masters of the state and society and everything serves for the people as required by the great Juche idea, will always emerge victorious.
