    Kim Jong Il, when meeting with senior officials in late December 1994, expressed his invariable will not to make a slightest concession in carrying forward the idea and cause of Kim Il Sung.
    When the country was hard pressed in the period of Arduous March, the forced march, he firmly defended the sovereignty of the country and the nation and laid solid foundations for the country's prosperity.
    He developed the Korean People's Army into a driving force in accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche and strengthened the political and military position of the revolution into an invincible fortress, thus providing a sure guarantee for achieving the cause of modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism.
    The Kanggye Spirit created by him led to a creation of other spirits of working miracles and effecting new innovations.
    Thanks to his energetic guidance, the DPRK has registered great achievements like successful launch of satellites, possession of powerful war deterrent, the completion of land rezoning and construction of a number of edifices.
    Such achievements clearly proved the validity and vitality of the proclamation of modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism.
    Now the DPRK people are striving to accomplish the cause of modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, a new higher stage of modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism, under the guidance of supreme leader Kim Jong Un. -0-
