Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Marked
Pyongyang, March 31 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday dedicates a signed article to the 28th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's work "On the Juche Idea".

The work comprehensively deals with the Juche idea fathered by President Kim Il Sung in a systematic and integral way. It clarifies all issues ranging from the founding of the Juche idea to its philosophical principle, socio-historical principle, guiding principle and its historic significance.

The past 28 years witnessed the striking demonstration of the truth and tremendous vitality of the Juche idea under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, the article notes, and goes on:

The Juche idea has served as an ideological and moral source of strength to consolidate the single-minded unity of all the servicepersons and people and dynamically push forward the advance for effecting a great surge. It has, at the same time, served as guidelines for encouraging them to make a breakthrough toward the prosperity of the country in the strong spirit of national independence and a treasured sword of the revolution for foiling the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning and reliably defending the banner of socialism.

The stirring reality today when all the servicepersons and people are out in the drive for a new great revolutionary surge and bringing about great innovations and a great leap forward to materialize Kim Jong Il's idea of effecting a great surge and his far-reaching plan clearly shows what high level the might of the single-minded unity of the Korean revolution has reached.

All the servicepersons and people are united close around the leader in thinking and purpose. This single-minded unity represents an admirable picture which can be seen only in the society of the DPRK guided by the Juche idea, the Songun idea.

It is the fixed will of the Workers' Party of Korea and the unanimous wishes of the Korean people to build an invincible thriving socialist nation on this land by their own efforts and their own way.

All the people form an integral whole with the leader and a big harmonious family under socialism and live and struggle full of confidence and optimism about the future while helping and leading each other forward. This is the intrinsic nature of socialism and herein lies the invincibility of Korean-style socialism.

The present stirring reality clearly testifies to the truth that the Juche idea is an eternal militant banner for the army and people of the DPRK and nothing can bar them from advancing under the banner of the idea, concludes the article.
