Guide of Hope in March of New Century
Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- The joint New Year editorial says that the guide of hope in the march of the new century of the Juche era is the brilliant revolutionary ideas of the great persons of Mt. Paektu -- President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

Their revolutionary ideas are an eternal treasure of the Korean revolution.

Kim Il Sung created the immortal Juche idea to indicate the road to be followed by the popular masses in the revolutionary struggle for independence.

He solved all the theoretical and practical problems to meet public demand and suit the specific situation of the country. Under his wise leadership, a radical change was brought about in shaping the destiny of the nation.

The Korean people won great victories in the struggle for national liberation from the Japanese colonial rule, Fatherland Liberation War (June 1950-July 1953), postwar rehabilitation and construction and socialist construction.

The Juche idea was enriched by Kim Jong Il, Songun (military-first) brilliant commander.

Kim Jong Il formulated the revolutionary idea of the President as an integrated system of Juche-oriented idea, theory and method and proclaimed it as the guiding idea of the era of independence.

He, regarding the programme of modelling the whole society on the Juche idea as the general objective, remained loyal to the idea and cause of the President and successfully led the Korean army and people for half a century.

Under his leadership the Korean people made great achievements in putting the country's defense industry and economic sectors on a Juche-oriented, modern basis and building monumental edifices in all parts of the country.

The Korean people, upholding the revolutionary ideas of the great persons of Mt. Paektu as the banner of victory, will dynamically advance in the new century of the Juche era under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
