Kim Jong Il left the great exploits of guaranteeing the eternal foundation of socialist Korea and its rosy future as a legacy, the paper noted, adding:

He, possessed of extraordinary ideological and theoretical wisdom as his natural disposition, conducted energetic ideological and theoretical activities from his early years to formulate the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung, founder of socialist Korea, as the integrated system of ideology, theory and method of Juche.

He developed the Workers' Party of Korea into an ever-victorious guiding force, the DPRK into an invincible socialist state and the Korean People's Army into a matchless powerful army.

Toward the end of the last century, socialist Korea was put in a quandary due to the extreme moves of the U.S.-led imperialist allied forces to stifle it with the collapse of socialism in various countries as a momentum and years of natural disasters. At that time he comprehensively pursued Songun politics to let the DPRK demonstrate its might as an invincible socialist fortress and the KPA as a matchless powerful army.

The paper stressed that the immortal exploits he performed through his life-long dedication would shine long as the most valuable legacy ensuring the victory of the socialist cause in Korea and the accomplishment of the human cause of independence.
