Greatest Contribution:
The greatest contribution of Leader KIM JONG IL is to handover the DPR of Korea, which he received from President KIM IL SUNG to the true Successor of the Korean revolution His Excellency Marshal KIM JONG UN, the Supreme Leader of the W.P.K., Armed Forces and the Korean people, raising it is still strong, self-reliant Songun Korea. Best wishes to Marshal KIM JONG UN for achieving fresh success in achieving independent and peaceful reunification of Korea and to build a thriling socialist nation on the way to KIMILSUNGISM-KIMJONGILISM.
This is the time to remember the CNN Report broadcasted on the occasion of the 50th Founding Anniversary of DPR Korea: -"The political system of this country is quite unique. In this country, the leader and the people are closely united. This is the source of the power of North Korea. All the North Koreans young and old are determined to become human bombs in defense of Leader KIM JONG IL. Frankly speaking, the West fears North Korea because of this and does not dare to attack it though they have the nuclear weapons”.
The world is well aware of the fact of the single-hearted unity of Korea. The national strength itself is the iron-like unity of the people, party, and army. This unity is the lifeline of Korean socialism and an all-time weapon of army-first Songun politics.
Comrade KIM JONG IL’s more than four decades-long leadership is memorable among the entire Korean people and the progressive people of the world because he gave importance to Comradeship and believed in the politics of Love and trust which was the weapon of his victory. Leader
KIM JONG IL used to say-”People are teachers and creators of all things. If there is an almighty being in the world, it is none other than the people. Therefore, the leader and the party should serve the people and the leader learns the wisdom, leadership, ability, and virtue from the people.”
Leader KIM JONG IL will be in the hearts of the progressive peace loving people of the world for his immortal contributions in developing self-reliance economy, army-first policy, thriling national strength, independent politics and building Workers’ Party of Korea in to the Party of KIM IL SUNG and developing rod-map on the way to KIMILISUNGISM!
