Strength of Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a small country in terms of the size of territory and population, but it is possessed of an inexhaustible strength nobody would dare challenge.

The strength of Korea consists in its outstanding leader.

Its leader's ardent love for the people has raised the might of the single-hearted unity, the first and foremost national power of Korea, to the highest level.

The traditional single-hearted unity of the Korean society was achieved by President Kim Il Sung, founder of socialist Korea, and consolidated and developed by leader Kim Jong Il. Now it has been elevated to a new height by Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army.

Noble virtue of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un touches all the people to the heart.
On New Year's Day this year he visited the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division of the KPA. While making the rounds of the barracks and the wash-cum-bath room, he examined the room temperature and felt the water heated by solar heating system. When he dropped in at a mess hall, he was told that a fairly long time had passed, but, saying that he should look round the mess hall, he acquainted himself with the dietary life of the soldiers in detail, even examining
the colour and taste of soy sauce like their own father. While posing for photographs with officers and men of the division, he drew the officers by the hand closer to him.this was a historic scene of demonstrating to the world ennobling personality of him, a centre of the integrated whole of Korean society.

It is by no means fortuitous that the service personnel and people in Korea entrust their destiny and future entirely to Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un and are being rallied behind him more firmly.

Thanks to his Songun-based leadership Korea¡Çs strong military power is being built up into invincible one.

The Songun-based leadership, which was initiated by President Kim Il Sung and developed in depth by leader Kim Jong Il, is being steadily carried forward by Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un. He has long directed overall work of the military. During his guidance trips to a large number of army units, he paid primary attention to arming all the service personnel with firm resolution to fight unto death for their motherland and people. He used to supervise military drills of the army and saw that the army men should conduct trainings so as to make thorough combat readiness to crush any provocation of the enemy at a stroke.

Special attention should be directed to the fact that he paid his first visit of this year to the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division: President Kim Il Sung paid deep concern to the division from the period when he had developed the KPA as befitting the regular armed forces, and leader Kim Jong Il started his Songun-based leadership with his visit to it on August 25, 1960. And on the morning of New Year's Day Kim Jong Un visited it, a clear testimony of his determination to carry forward the Songun-based leadership of the predecessors without an inch of deflection.

His patriotic will elevates Korea to the status of a thriving socialist country with knowledge-based economy on solid foundations of self-sufficient national economy.

In Korea all the sectors of the economy are being placed on a modern and knowledge basis.Its machine-building industry is now being equipped with the CNC machine tools developed by its own efforts; the metallurgical industry is perfecting the Juche-based iron-making system without using coking coal and iron scraps; and in the chemical industry eye-opening successes are being achieved, including mass-production of vinalon and fertilizers fed by domestic raw materials and fuel. Light-industry factories are being equipped with cutting-edge machines, while agricultural sector is placed on a higher level of scientific farming with introduction of cyclic production between farming and stockbreeding and organic farming method.

Rapid development in the fields of core, basic technologies and in the technical engineering in major fields gives a strong impetus to the effort of making the economy knowledge-based.
Technologies of using geothermal and solar energy, of manufacturing and launching artificial earth satellite as well as nuclear technology are attaining the world level.

As mentioned above, Korea's economy has made leaping progress by bringing closer to it the science and technology. The credit goes to leader Kim Jong Il, who unfolded a grand plan of building a prosperous and powerful socialist country and continued his forced march of on-site guidance for its realization. Having set it as a strategic line of building an economic power to hold fast to the banner of the industrial revolution in the new century, he continued his on-the-spot guidance tours for the building of a thriving nation and improving the people's standard of living, up until he passed away on train.

It is a steadfast will of the supreme leader Kim Jong Un to make his people lead a happy life with nothing to envy in the world and build a thriving socialist country at the earliest date possible, true to Kim Jong Il's lifetime intentions. In order to open the gates of a thriving nation as soon as possible under his leadership the Korean people have turned out as one and are making fresh innovations and achievements day after day.

Only victories will be in store for the Korean people who are advancing, following their supreme leader Kim Jong Un.
