Six Years of Yearning

Six years have passed since the unexpected demise of General Kim Jong Il whom the Korean army and people had upheld as their dear father, in December 2011. Those years were the days when the service personnel and people of Korea have faithfully implemented his lifetime instructions out of ardent yearning for him.

Closely rallied behind Kim Jong Un who holds Kim Jong Il as the sun of Juche and leads the revolution and construction as intended by him, the service personnel and people have turned the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, where the General is kept in his lifetime appearance, into a sanctuary of the eternal sun and erected bronze statues and portraits of the smiling General in Pyongyang, the provincial capitals and other places across the country.

They have acclaimed him as the eternal General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and held fast to Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the guiding ideology of the Party so that the history of his leadership of the Songun revolution continues.

They have turned out with an unshakeable faith and will to follow to the end the road of independence, the road of Songun and the road of socialism pioneered by Kim Il Sung and developed by Kim Jong Il and carried out the General’s instructions without any deviation or concession in the building of a powerful socialist country.

By making leaps and bounds in the major fronts of building a powerful socialist country and burning their hearts with Kim Jong Il’s patriotism, they have set up numerous monumental edifices to glorify the era of the Workers’ Party and solidified the foundations for improving the people’s living standards, thereby bringing the General’s lifetime instructions to brilliant fruition.

They are now demonstrating the prestige of the country as the politicoideological and military power by developing the powerful national defence capabilities which the great General built up on the long, arduous road of Songun-based leadership and frustrating the schemes of aggression and war by the US and its vassal forces at every step.
