Imperishable Achievements Accomplished in the Cause of Global Independence
Imperishable Achievements Accomplished in the Cause of Global Independence
History witnesses many great persons who rendered distinguished services to the progressive development of mankind.
However, none of them can be compared with Kim Jong Il of the DPRK who performed undying exploits in the cause of global independence by dint of his great ideology and outstanding leadership ability. Kim Jong Il advanced his great ideology and thus highlighted the path of the cause of global independence.
He conducted energetic ideological and theoretical activities so as to formulate correct theories, and strategies and tactics for accomplishing the cause of global independence. By making public a number of works, including On the Juche Idea, he comprehensively systematized the Juche idea and developed and enriched it as the guiding ideology of the cause of independence. This made it possible for the progressive peoples of the world to possess a powerful ideological and theoretical weapon in their struggle for building a new, independent and peaceful world, free from domination, subjugation, aggression and war.
He provided perfect answers to the strategic and tactical issues in guiding the cause of global independence along the road of victory. He propounded the promotion of the global independence as an important strategic task for accomplishing the revolutionary cause of the working class and achieving the victory of the cause of mankind for independence. He also established scientific viewpoints towards the character, essence and objective of the cause of global independence and the aspects of an independent world. During the period when the cause of socialism was undergoing severe trials due to the collapse of socialism in several countries, he published The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party and other works, in which he made a sharp analysis of the cause of and the lesson drawn from the frustration of socialism in those countries and illumined the correct path for effecting a new upsurge in the world socialist movement. Kim Jong Il clarified all the principled requirement and tasks, strategies and tactics arising in implementing the cause of global independence, including its motive force, achieving the independent development in the developing countries, strengthening the unity and solidarity of the anti-imperialist independent forces, developing the Non-Aligned Movement, replacing the old international order with a new and fair one, and so on.
He also put forward the slogan "People of the world advocating independence, unite!"
Kim Jong Il led the cause of global independence to victory by dint of his outstanding leadership ability.
What occupies the most important place among the exploits he performed in leading the cause of global independence to victory is that he pursued his unique Songun politics, thus frustrating the manoeuvres of the imperialists to stifle the DPRK, firmly defending Korean-style socialism and maintaining regional peace and security.
In the closing years of the last century the imperialists, availing themselves of the collapse of socialism in several countries, clamoured about the "end of socialism", and directed the spearhead of their attack against the DPRK, which was holding high as ever the banner of socialism. Their anti-socialist manoeuvres exposed the sovereignty and security of the DPRK to threat, and turned the Korean peninsula into a theatre of the fiercest confrontation between socialism and imperialism. But their moves to dismantle the fortress of socialism were doomed to failure and frustration.
Thanks to the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il, self-reliant defence capabilities of the DPRK were incomparably strengthened. The nuclear threat of the imperialists against the DPRK prompted the latter to build its own nuclear deterrent. This provided a sure guarantee for safeguarding its security, sovereignty and socialism with credit and maintaining the peace and security of the world, to say nothing of the Korean peninsula.
He exerted his efforts to improving the relations with many countries of the world that aspire after independence and conducted energetic external activities to build an independent new world where the ideal of independence, peace and friendship is realized. His several rounds of visit to China and Russia further consolidated and developed to a higher level the traditional friendships between Korea and China, and between Korea and Russia, instilled great encouragement into the their joint struggle to defend the cause of socialism and world peace, and also injected fresh vitality into the international efforts for building a new and decent world.
He met with the heads of state and party from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia and many other countries on their visits to the DPRK, and greatly contributed to promoting friendly and cooperative relations among the developing countries as required by the new century. He also paid great attention to improving the relations with the Western countries and met with the high-level delegation of the EU, former US President and Prime Minister of Japan. His external activities covered a wide range of fields, from political circles to the press and economic circles, and exerted a great influence on the relations among the countries and the world situation, giving a strong impetus to the advance of the cause of global independence.
Syrian president said that His Excellency Kim Jong Il made distinguished contributions to accomplishing the cause of anti-imperialist independence. Raul Castro of Cuba commented that the death of Kim Jong Il incurred an irrevocable loss in the cause of socialism, while Sudanese president expressed that his death was a great sorrow to the world's progressive forces.
The exploits Kim Jong Il performed in the cause of global independence will be immortal for ever with the progressive mankind of the world.

Music and Kim Jong Il
Music and Kim Jong Il
Kim Jong Il once said that music was his first love.
A musical prodigy, he had a lot of interests in music from his boyhood. The Embrace of My Motherland, Song of Best Wishes and several other works, which he created as a young boy, exemplified his musical gifts.
Entering Kim Il Sung University he created a song titled O Korea, I Will Add Glory to Thee, reflecting his determination and will to brilliantly carry forward the revolutionary cause pioneered by President Kim Il Sung, founding father of socialist Korea.
In the long period of leading the Korean people at the helm of the Party, army and state, he always attached importance to music, paying special concern to the development of musical art.
As a result, Korea greeted the Renaissance of the 20th century in operatic art and all other genres of its art and literature.a success that astounded the world. In the days of producing the revolutionary opera The Sea of Blood, which gained worldwide recognition as a new milestone in the development of opera, Kim Jong Il listened to 2 400-odd pieces of songs and selected 47 of them for the opera.
He adeptly employed the marvellous power and charm of musical art in administering his politics.
By the close of the last century, following the President's death, Korea faced severest ordeals due to the hostile manoeuvrings of the imperialist allied forces and the natural calamities that befell the country for several consecutive years. To inspire his people with confidence and courage the leader had many songs created and disseminated.
The State Merited Chorus served as a trumpeter to rouse the people to the struggle for the defence of socialism. They braved the difficulties singing aloud such songs as We Pledge, Hold High the Red Flag, Socialism Is Ours and We Will Defend the Leadership of the Revolution at the Cost of Our Lives.
I Will Become a Flower Heralding Spring is a song that reminds the Koreans of those trying years, because their leader used to sing it to himself on his way to military units on the front line, leaving behind cities and villages that were as dark as night for power shortage. He also sang this song when he decided on a costly project, though he felt his heart broken to see his people tightening their belts, as it would pave the way for the industrial revolution in the new century, ultimately for the socialist nation's prosperity. On such journeys of his Songun-based leadership to defend socialism the leader would sing this song time and again, especially the lyrics Nobody may understand me fully, but I will follow this road with hope in my mind, the words that bolstered his confidence in victory and made him more acutely aware of his responsibility for his country and people.
On the road of Songun, which no other statesman would dare take, Kim Jong Il was as valiant and stout as the military and other revolutionary songs that spread throughout the country in those years. These songs encouraged the Korean people to make a leap over the trials of history to the threshold of prosperity.
Song of Comradeship was one of his favourite songs, now much in vogue among the soldiers and people. As it sings of the noble comradely affection between revolutionaries and their indomitable faith through such lyrics as Boundless affection between comrades cannot be traded for gold and We must take the revolutionary road rain or snow, the song inspired in the army and people of Korea strong faith and will with which to follow their leader on the road of socialism
in any adversity, united behind him with a single heart.
Also popular among them is The Blue Sky over My Country, a song that was perfected as a work representative of the era under the leader's deep concern and energetic direction. It emotionally portrays the prestigious image of Korea as a fortress which even formidable enemy in the world dare not attack.
Many songs have been created in reflection of the new era when all the Korean people are making redoubled efforts to achieve national prosperity, and among them are Arirang of Prosperity, Higher and Faster and Break through the Cutting Edge.
The vibrant reality of Korea advancing victoriously with revolutionary songs is unthinkable apart from Kim Jong Il, who had a unique attachment to music and exploited its power superbly in administering his politics.
He was indeed an outstanding statesman in the political history of the world

Pivotal Force for Self-defence
Putting forward the KPA as the pivotal force for self-defence, Kim Jong Il undertook endless inspection of army units with the aim of increasing their capabilities.
During his tours, he put focus on building up the army's political and ideological strength. He ensured that education to this end was intensified among the soldiers, so that they would become strong in their determination and will to defend their country, people and socialist system at the cost of their lives. He also paid due concern to enhancing the unit's combat efficiency as demanded by modern warfare, often inspecting the soldier's training and teaching new tactics and combat methods. Under his line of economic construction on developing the defence industry on a priority basis, the KPA has been equipped with modern powerful means of both attack and defence, including the war deterrent.
As a result, the national forces of the DPRK for self-defence with the KPA as its pivot achieved one victory after another in the decades-long confrontations, both political and military, with the US-led imperialist allied forces.
Kim Jong Il defined the single-hearted unity as the great foundation of the Korean revolution and endeavoured to consolidate the unity of Korean society with the army as its kernel under the banner of Songun.
Calling the soldiers his comrades and children, he visited their units even in out-of-the-way places and looked after them with parental care. In the meantime a special bond was formed between the supreme commander and his men, based on warm affection and absolute trust, and the KPA has become equal to the roles of the pillar and main force in carrying out the socialist cause and the hardcore of Korean society.
Kim Jong Il ensured that the traditional trait of army-people unity was preserved and developed as the cornerstone of society.
It was his constant view that the soldiers should take the lead and set an example for civilians in displaying the trait of army-people unity.
The supreme commander once sent military personnel and equipment, strong enough to conduct an operation in the frontline, to a flood-stricken area to save the residents and their property. At another time he dispatched warships to rescue a fishing boat in distress and helicopters to search for a girl drifting on a rough sea.
"Help the people!this was the slogan the soldiers raised in response to their supreme commander's call. The army's leading role in displaying the trait of army-people unity is illustrated by the example of the soldiers seconded to the construction of the Huichon Power Station, who turned Ryongnim into a socialist fairyland. Last year, after building a dam in the mountainous region 1 000m above sea level, they built a hall of culture, a wading pool and other public amenities for the local people. They even rebuilt fences at their dwelling houses. Those in other regions supply residents and their children with fruits and agricultural produce they reap on sideline farms.a reality unique in the DPRK.
It is therefore natural that the people spare nothing for soldiers.
Today, the traditional unity between the service personnel and people has been so developed that they reach complete agreement concerning their ideology and fighting spirit on the basis of the revolutionary soldier spirit. It is no doubt that no force on earth will break this unity.
Main Force in the Building of a Thriving Nation
From the early days of his leadership Kim Jong Il made sure that the KPA soldiers made a breakthrough in socialist construction, in addition to defending the country.
Under the slogan, "Let us take charge of both national defence and socialist construction!" they volunteered to work at the challenging projects for economic development. By the end of the last century when Korea was undergoing the severest trials, the soldiers at the construction site for the Anbyon Youth Power Station created the revolutionary soldier spirit. This spirit is characterized by a spirit of defending their supreme commander unto death, a spirit of carrying out his orders and directives unconditionally and a heroic spirit of sacrificing their lives for their country, people and comrades. Other soldiers displayed this spirit to the full in carrying out large-scale land-realignment projects to radically change the appearance of the country and in building across the country hi-tech factories that are making a tangible contribution to developing its economy and improving its people's standard of living. The soldiers engaged in the Huichon power project completed in less than three years the building of a dam, a task estimated to take a decade. This demonstrated the will of socialist Korea to open the gates of a thriving country in the near future.
Encouraged by the soldier's heroic mettle, the people are surging ahead towards the goal of economic prosperity. The nation will surely accomplish the cause of building a thriving socialist country.

Lee Myung Bak Accused of Trying to Use Seoul 'Summit' for Int′l Anti-DPRK Campaign
Lee Myung Bak Accused of Trying to Use Seoul 'Summit' for Int′l Anti-DPRK Campaign
Pyongyang, March 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in a statement Friday denounced the south Korean regime for working hard to turn the Seoul "nuclear security summit" into a platform for international smear campaign against the DPRK.
By nature, the summit was first hosted by the U.S. in Washington in 2010 under the pretext of "preventing nuclear terrorism" and, therefore, there is no ground whatsoever to pull up the DPRK, the statement noted, and went on:
At the outset the south Korean puppet regime tried hard to dodge the DPRK's opposition and domestic and foreign public criticism, asserting that the summit is not a forum for discussing the "nuclear issue of the north."
The regime, however, revealed its sinister intention to turn the summit into a forum for such noisy anti-DPRK campaign as taking issue with its nuclear deterrent and projected launch of Kwangmyongsong-3 for peaceful purposes.
Lurking behind this are the regime's sinister aims to weather serious ruling crisis by rallying conservative forces through more frantic rackets of confrontation and war in the closing period of its rule and turn its unfavorable situation in the general election favorable to it. It also aims to make workable earlier UN resolutions on sanctions against the DPRK now defunct in face of domestic and foreign criticism and kick off a new racket for sanctions.
And the regime's frantic racket was prompted by its uneasiness and fear of the DPRK's demonstration of tremendous national power before the world. Another ulterior aim is to save its face as it failed twice to launch a satellite with the help of others.
To use an international meeting for moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen is a reckless act which can be perpetrated only by such ignorant political gangsters and hooligans as the puppet group.
The DPRK's stand on the summit has already been clarified.
If the puppet group dares find fault with the DPRK's nuclear deterrent and satellite launch for peaceful purposes and kick off an anti-DPRK racket at the summit despite its repeated warnings and accusations at home and abroad, this will compel it to take strongest counter-measures which no one can imagine.
We will never give up what has already been declared but react to any pressure or provocation with toughest measures.
In case an extreme development takes place on the Korean Peninsula, the provocateurs and their followers will be entirely accountable for it.Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un's Declaration
Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un's Declaration
The world is currently focusing its attention on the DPRK, speculating which path it would take and what policies it would pursue after the demise of Kim Jong Il, chairman of the National Defence Commission on December 17, 2011.
At this time Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the DPRK, inspected a guards division of the Korean People's Army, delivering a delicate message to the international community.
The division, organized by President Kim Il Sung, founding father of socialist Korea, in August 1948, is an elite tank division which performed distinguished feats during the Korean war (1950-1953) unleashed by the United States. Chairman Kim Jong Il started his Songun-based revolutionary leadership by visiting it on August 25, 1960.
It is noteworthy that Kim Jong Un visited this division as his first official visit after the national loss and his assuming the supreme commandership of the KPA on December 30, 2011, and that on New Year's Day of 2012.
When he visited the division he said that as he offered New Year greetings to Kim Jong Il lying in state in the Kumsusan Memorial Palace it seemed as if he were telling him to visit the 105 guards tank division and so he came there straight.
AP reported that Kim Jong Un acquainted himself in detail with the living of the soldiers with parental affection and posed for photographs with them much like President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il did.
His inspection of the division that day is too similar to that of Chairman Kim Jong Il, who visited an army unit on New Year's Day of 1995, the year after President Kim Il Sung's death. His inspection of the unit, known as the Dwarf-Pine Company, signified the direction of his future politics, declaring to the world that he would carry forward the cause of socialism holding higher the banner of Songun.
Thanks to his Songun politics the DPRK has strengthened the national defence capabilities in every way, and even built a nuclear deterrent strong enough to avert the constant nuclear threats of the United States. It has braved the worst economic difficulties with the KPA as the pillar and the main force of the cause of socialism. Two rounds of successful launch of the artificial earth satellites and the mass-production of Juche iron, Juche fertilizer and Juche fibre have further cemented the might of the self-supporting national economy. It has also entered the road of building a powerful country with knowledge-based economy by relying on the successful building of the CNC-based machine-building industry. By dint of Songun politics the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 Declaration, the action programme of the former, were adopted, unfolding the bright vista for achieving the national reunification. As the Korean-style socialism has been safeguarded and further strengthened, the world socialist movement is inspired with a new vigour. Governments which aspire after socialism emerged one after another in Latin America which had been called the quiet backyard of the United States.
Songun politics has been proved as the ever-victorious banner and all-powerful sword of socialist cause and the cause of independence of mankind.
Proceeding from these facts Kim Jong Un's visit to the guards division constitutes an important occasion which demonstrated his iron-like will to add brilliance to the achievements of Songun-based leadership of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and inherit their Songun politics without the slightest vacillation.
This was testified by the events that coincided with this inspection tour; announcement of a decision of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, publication of joint slogans of the Central Committee and Central Military Commission of the WPK on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung, and the New Years joint editorial of Rodong Sinmun and other leading newspapers, titled, Glorify this year 2012 as a year of proud victory, a year when an era of prosperity is unfolding, true to the instructions of the great General Kim Jong Il. Korea has demonstrated its faith and will to venerate Kim Jong Il as the eternal leader of the WPK and the Korean people and build a thriving socialist country without fail under the unfurled banner of Songun.
Just like in the days when Kim Jong Il was alive Songun politics is thoroughly being applied in all fields of politics, military affairs, the economy and culture. The whole country has turned out in the effort to surely open the gates of a thriving nation by 2012, the goal set by him.
Single-hearted unity of the whole society has reached the highest level and the self-reliant national defence capabilities have been continuously strengthened.
As long as it is led by Kim Jong Un, who is unwaveringly inheriting the banner of Songun, only victories will be in store for socialist Korea.
The world is currently focusing its attention on the DPRK, speculating which path it would take and what policies it would pursue after the demise of Kim Jong Il, chairman of the National Defence Commission on December 17, 2011.
At this time Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the DPRK, inspected a guards division of the Korean People's Army, delivering a delicate message to the international community.
The division, organized by President Kim Il Sung, founding father of socialist Korea, in August 1948, is an elite tank division which performed distinguished feats during the Korean war (1950-1953) unleashed by the United States. Chairman Kim Jong Il started his Songun-based revolutionary leadership by visiting it on August 25, 1960.
It is noteworthy that Kim Jong Un visited this division as his first official visit after the national loss and his assuming the supreme commandership of the KPA on December 30, 2011, and that on New Year's Day of 2012.

Inheritance of the Socialist Cause
Inheritance of the Socialist Cause
The socialist cause of Korea was pioneered by President Kim Il Sung (1912-1994).
In the course of his leading the Korean revolution for a long time, Kim Il Sung laid a solid foundation for the implementation of the socialist cause.
He embarked on the road of revolutionary struggle for his country and people in his early years, and authored the Juche idea and the Songun idea, the immortal guiding ideology of socialist Korea, already in the initial days of his revolutionary activities. By founding the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (the predecessor of the Korean People's Army) and leading the anti-Japanese armed struggle to victory, he liberated the country and opened up the way to the building of a new society and socialist development. After the liberation he founded the Workers' Party of Korea, guiding force of the socialist cause, and enforced democratic reforms including the agrarian reform and, on this basis, established the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the country of the people which is the first in the 5 000-year history of Korea. By wisely leading the army and people in the three-year Korean war (1950-1953), he defeated the US imperialists who invaded the country and defended its sovereignty. He led the postwar rehabilitation along with the socialist revolution and established the socialist system (August, 1958) in Korea. He built Korea into a strong socialist country independent in politics, self- supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence by carrying out the socialist construction of several stages. He ensured that his people were thoroughly armed with the socialist ideology and boundlessly loyal to the cause of socialism. As a result, Korea has defended its socialism unperturbed although several countries had been derailed from the socialist line in the closing years of the last century, and President Kim Il Sung is praised as the father of socialist Korea.
The socialist cause of Korea was brilliantly carried forward by Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il, regarding it as his lifelong mission to accomplish the revolutionary cause pioneered by Kim Il Sung, vigorously carried forward the socialist cause of Korea in pursuance of the latter's ideology and intention while assisting him from his early days.
With energetic ideological and theoretical activities he systematically integrated and enriched the Juche idea, adding lustre to it as the eternal guiding ideology of socialist Korea.
He also clarified the guiding principles in accomplishing the cause of socialism by giving erfect answers to all the problems arising in the revolution and construction on the basis of the Juche idea. He developed the WPK into a party winning an absolute trust from people and into an ever-victorious powerful party, and the Korean socialism into the people-centred one. He ushered in a heyday of socialist construction featured by the West Sea Barrage built as one of the world-famous barrages and other monumental structures, and the creation of the literary and artistic renaissance of the 20th century. Most significant achievement of his is that he defended Korea's socialism in the hardest times after the demise of President Kim Il Sung (July 8, 1994) and brought about a new turning point of building a thriving socialist country. Holding higher the banner of Songun in the grimmest situation when the imperialist allied forces concentrated their anti-socialist offensive against Korea, he formulated Songun politics as the basic mode of socialist politics so as to provide a solid guarantee for the Korean-style socialism to win one victory after another. Thanks to his Songun-based leadership the Korean people could defend their socialism with credit in the face of the extreme offensive of the imperialist allied forces against them in all fields of politics, the military, the economy and culture and consecutive
natural disasters unprecedented in its history, and Korea has turned into an invincible political
and ideological power with single-hearted unity of the service personnel and people, as well as a
military giant nobody dares attack.
He laid the solid foundation for developing the country into an economic giant by putting forward the ambitious goal of building a thriving socialist nation and wisely leading the all-people onward march for its implementation. He continued the forced march of on-site guidance tours to build a thriving nation and improve the people's living standards until he suddenly passed away on train. However, his everlasting contributions made to the cause of socialism will be enshrined in the hearts of the Korean people.
Today in the van of carrying out the socialist cause is Kim Jong Un, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, and who is identical to Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Un, possessed of unexcelled ideological and theoretical wisdom, all-sided knowledge, preeminent leadership and noble popular traits, was always with Kim Jong Il on his field guidance tours.
As a man of remarkable intelligence and foresight, he has profound knowledge of all fields.political, economic, cultural and cutting-edge science and technology. In particular, he is gifted with a disposition suited to a brilliant commander and is well-versed in all the services and arms,conventional and special, as well as the latest military science and technology and the military hardware. He conducts all work in an audacious, bold and scrupulous manner with extraordinary organizing ability and prominent executive power to organize and enlist the masses in the struggle of building a thriving socialist country. His moral obligation to comrades, his ardent love for the people and his modest and unassuming personality win great love and admiration from his people.
His greatest mission is to carry forward the ideas and cause of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and, to this end, he declared, he would make neither concession nor deviation in the slightest.
Under the leadership of Kim Jong Un the Korean people will inherit and accomplish the socialist cause without fail.
