 2026.7.7.

Greeting the war victory day in the stirring period when they are advancing by amplifying the grand journey of the revolutionary cause of Juche, resolutely overcoming all the challenges and difficulties of history, under the leadership of the great Workers' Party of Korea, all the Korean people recollect with deep emotion the immortal revolutionary career of President Kim Il Sung who created the immortal Juche idea and successfully applied it to practice, thus performing great exploits for the times, revolution, country and people.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Comrade Kim Il Sung authored the great Juche idea to open up a new era of the Juche revolution and embodied it to lead the several stages of social revolution to victory, performing undying exploits in all fields of the revolution and construction."

President Kim Il Sung was an outstanding thinker and theoretician who illuminated the path of sure victory of the Korean revolution with the immortal Juche Idea.

A great idea produces great practice and only the revolutionary idea that brings about eye-opening miracles and changes in reality can be the guiding ideology of the times and that of great historic significance.

The immortal Juche idea created and applied by the great President is a man-centred and people-centred ideology that clarifies the scientific principles of shaping their destiny by correctly reflecting the independent demands of man and people.

The Juche idea is the most scientific revolutionary idea which scientifically illuminates the road of shaping out their destiny in conformity with their aspiration and desire for independence and demonstrates great vitality in the practice of the Korean revolution.

As he organized and led the revolutionary war against a formidable imperialist power to achieve independence of Korea and the building of a new society to free liberated Korea from the fetters of feudalism, he advanced the theory of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal democratic revolution unprecedented in history. And while leading the vigorous struggle to carry out the enormous tasks of the socialist revolution and socialist construction in the DPRK, he comprehensively developed the Juche-oriented theory of socialist revolution and construction to clearly indicate the path to be followed by the Korean revolution.

In the course of it, the Juche idea was developed and enriched as the genuine guiding ideology which comprehensively deals with all the strategies, tactics, principles and ways for victoriously advancing the revolution and construction, including all the theoretical and practical issues for successfully carrying out the historic tasks of national liberation, class emancipation and human freedom and the theoretical issues on the three transformations of nature, society and man.

Therefore, the immortal Juche idea has become an encyclopedic revolutionary idea which gives the most scientific solutions to all problems arising in the revolution and construction and proved its great vitality in the practice of the Korean revolution.

As the Juche idea has been thoroughly applied to the practice of the Korean revolution, the DPRK has become a dignified people's country where the popular masses are the masters of everything and everything serves them.

The DPRK is known as the most ideal and the world's first ideological power, in which the whole society is imbued with one idea and on the basis of it the most solid political and ideological unity and cohesion have been achieved, and a country of miracle which has built from scratch a powerful independent national economy and tremendous self-reliant defence capability that provide a sure guarantee for the sovereignty and sustainable development of the state. And it arouses envy and admiration of the whole world as a promising country which has perfectly solved the problem of succession to leadership, a knotty problem in any country, theoretically and practically and firmly ensured the inheritance of the political system of a socialist state. Facts provide clear proof of the great vitality of the Juche idea.

It is indeed an immortal exploit performed by President Kim Il Sung that will shine forever and the great victory of the Juche idea that he led the Korean revolution, which had wandered as it failed to find the correct path of its development, along the road of victory and glory to turn the country, once poverty-stricken and backward, into a prosperous socialist power independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defence and usher in a new heyday of human culture by making a leap forward toward progress and civilization.

President Kim Il Sung was a great thinker and theoretician who clearly indicated the road ahead of the human cause of independence with the immortal Juche idea.

A great idea is the common wealth of mankind and a weapon dominating the world.

The Juche idea created and applied to the revolutionary practice by the President is a great ideology that clearly reflects the main trend of the era of independence aspiring after independence and specifies the scientific theories, principles and ways of the revolutionary struggle, thus clearly indicating the road of struggle for carving out the destiny of the world progressive people.

Independence is the lifeblood for every country, nation and social being and it is the decisive guarantee for independent development and national prosperity to firmly believe in their own strength and work hard without depending on others. This is the independent spirit that runs through the Juche idea.

On the basis of the most thoroughgoing spirit of independence, the Juche idea gives scientific solutions to all the strategic and tactical issues which should be adhered to in the struggle for realizing the independence of the masses of the people on a worldwide scale, including the guidelines for the struggle of the peoples of colonial and dependent countries for national liberation, the struggle for building a new society in those countries that achieved national independence and the struggle for socialism.

Many revolutionaries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, who had been at a loss what to do as they had not corrected guiding ideologies and lines in the countries which had been under the imperialists' colonial rule for a long time, were able to find the path of their national liberation struggle in the Juche idea created by the President and realize their dream of independence. Following the road indicated by the Juche idea, many countries of the world came to have a clear understanding of the craftiness and danger of the neocolonialist policy of imperialism and wage a vigorous struggle to consolidate national independence and build a fully independent and sovereign state.

Today the world revolutionary people aspiring after socialism are highly praising the Juche idea as a perfect theory of socialism and working hard to build socialism with it as their guidelines. The fact that Juche idea study organizations have been formed in many countries and a vigorous struggle is being waged to build socialism and perfect it by applying the Juche idea clearly proves the vitality of the Juche idea which leads the progress of mankind advancing towards socialism to a brilliant victory.

The Juche idea is the perfect ideology constituting the acme of the development of human ideology and the immortal revolutionary idea that the times and mankind should hold fast to forever, and the immortal revolutionary exploit of President Kim Il Sung, who created the Juche idea and successfully applied it to the revolutionary practice to brightly illuminate the way ahead of the times and revolution with its brilliant rays, is the great world-historic exploit that no great man in the world has ever achieved.
