Kim Jong Un Sets Forth Tasks for Effecting Kim Jong Il's Patriotism
Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un in his work "Let Us Effect Kim Jong Il's Patriotism and Step Up the Building of a Prosperous Country" called on all the officials, party members and other working people to learn from leader Kim Jong Il's noble patriotism and effect it just as it is.

Kim Jong Un in the work underlined the need to intensify education to instill Kim Jong Il's patriotism deep into the minds of the people.

He underscored the need to educate the party members and other working people in Kim Jong Il's patriotism in a principled, deep and broad way so that they can become genuine patriots who devote themselves to the future.

Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be conducted in a substantial way in combination with practice, he said, and continued:

Genuine patriots are those who unswervingly follow the path of true patriotism despite difficulties and hardships and those who sincerely and timely carry out revolutionary tasks entrusted to them by the country and the people.

Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be carried out to suit the specific conditions.

Patriotism is not an abstract notion. It originates from the yard of one's own home. All the party members and other working people should be educated to become genuine patriots who love their families, spruce up their own hometowns and manage well their work places and devote their sweats and energies to glorifying the country.

Effecting Kim Jong Il's patriotism means thoroughly carrying out his idea and desire for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of posterity, and conducting all the work for the prosperity of the country the way he did.

We should faithfully carry forward and complete all the work Kim Jong Il had planned and tried to realize in his lifetime in order to materialize his idea and wishes in this land.

The greatest patriotism lies in defending the country. All the people should attach importance to the military affairs, sincerely learn them and devote their patriotism to the sacred war for defending the country if the enemy provokes.

We should become genuine patriots in the Songun era and build a thriving socialist country to be proud of just as the generation right after the country's liberation built new democratic Korea in hearty response to the call of President Kim Il Sung to display patriotism and just as the heroes in the Chollima era built a land of bliss for the people on the ruins after war.

The Korean nation has long suffered from unspeakable misfortune and pains after foreign forces divided it into the north and the south. To reunify the country is the supreme task of the nation that brooks no further delay. National reunification precisely means patriotism and national division treachery. Whoever truly loves the country and the nation should valiantly turn out in the just struggle to reunify the country true to Kim Jong Il's noble patriotism whether they are in the north, the south and abroad.

Kim Jong Un set forth tasks for party organizations, working people's organizations, all national institutions and social bodies to fulfill their responsibilities and roles in the work for learning from and effecting Kim Jong Il's patriotism. He went on:

Officials should not just sit down and worry over the country but become genuine patriots who uphold the country with total dedication.

"We serve the country and the people!"-- the slogan put up by the party is a patriotic one which all the officials should hold fast to.

Officials serving the people should work hard and hard with patriotism so as to make the country prosperous and people lead an affluent life.

The country will emerge as a thriving socialist nation when the hot wind of learning from Kim Jong Il's patriotism prevails in the country and all the people fully embody it into practice, Kim Jong Un stressed.
