Rodong Sinmun: Ideological and spiritual basis of our-state-first principle

Rodong Sinmun in an article on Sunday called upon all the people to dynamically push forward the ongoing general advance for realizing the dream of prosperity on the principle of our state first.

It said:

The ideological and spiritual basis of the principle of our state first is the immortal Juche idea and Kim Jong Il’s patriotism.

The history of the DPRK is the one in which it has regarded the great Juche idea - the acme of human thought in history - as a state political idea and undauntedly advanced along the road of independence. Korea, once a country torn with sycophancy and dogmatism and big powers’ theatre of fierce scramble for bringing it under their thumb, has towered at the centre of the world political structure as a bulwark of independence and invincible socialist fortress. This is priceless fruit born by the great Juche idea and politics of independence.

Patriotism that is pulsating in the hearts of the Korean people today is Kim Jong Il’s patriotism through which noble outlooks on the country, its people and younger generation run.
