Kim Jong Il has pursued the unique Songun politics on the basis of his deep insight into the concrete reality of Korea and the world political situation, the statement noted, and said:

Under his Songun leadership the DPRK has made signal successes in various domains of the national economy.

The achievements made by the Korean people in building an economic power clearly prove the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the WPK.

He set forth the orientation and ways to turn the DPRK into an economic giant.

Thanks to the wise guidance of the WPK with Kim Jong Il as its general secretary, the Korean people will certainly build an economic power, cherishing the faith in socialism, despite the persistent threat of the U.S. imperialists.
