The Democratic People's Republic of Korea Is the Glorious Kim Il Sung's Country Dignified by the Name of the Great Leader

 2021.2.18.

Today the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has become a powerful and dignified state that leads the political developments in the world powerfully demonstrating its international influence. This is inconceivable separated from the name of the great Comrade Kim Il Sung, the founding-father of socialist Korea.

The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il said:

"Our Republic is the glorious Kim Il Sung's country dignified by the name of the President, the founding-father of socialist Korea, and a precious revolutionary achievement which our people built and defended at the cost of their blood and sweat under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and the leader."

The DPRK is the glorious Kim Il Sung's country dignified by the name of the leader because first, he founded the Republic.

The anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle the great leader organized and led was a historic struggle that laid the basis for the founding of the Republic and ushered in the era of socialist state building.

In the flames of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle he put forward the policy of building a people's government, accumulated valuable experience in this regard and created the glorious revolutionary traditions, which are the eternal wealth of the country and the revolution.

The struggle of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people to build an independent and sovereign state on the land of the liberated country was conducted in very complicated and difficult circumstances and conditions. Owing to the outside forces' occupation of south Korea, the country's territory was divided into two, and the imperialist and reactionary forces at home and abroad resorted to every manner of vicious scheme to thwart the Party and people in their efforts to build a new country.

Comrade Kim Il Sung established the people's power and regular revolutionary armed forces that inherited the traditions of the anti-Japanese revolution and, by enlisting the high patriotic enthusiasm of the liberated people and all other patriotic forces, laid solid foundations for the building of an independent and sovereign state through democratic reforms in the northern half of Korea, thus frustrating the schemes of the imperialist and reactionary forces. On this basis, he founded DPRK on September 9, Juche37(1948).

With the founding of the DPRK, the Korean people became a people of an independent and sovereign state, who create a new life by carving out their destiny by their own efforts, and the country could make its appearance on the international arena in a dignified way under the unfurled banner of Juche with equal rights as other countries, large and small. The founding of the DPRK further strengthened the socialist forces in the international arena, greatly encouraged the revolutionary peoples of the world in their struggle for achieving national independence and a new life, and further consolidated the solidarity between the Korean people and the international revolutionary forces.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung was indeed the founder and builder of the DPRK.

The DPRK is the glorious Kim Il Sung's country dignified by the name of the leader because next, the Republic always followed the proud road resplendent with victory under his outstanding and seasoned leadership.

After founding the Republic, he wisely led the work of strengthening the power organs, developing the people-oriented state and social system of the Republic and bringing its advantages and vitality into full play in all areas of state building.

The Fatherland Liberation War against the armed invasion of the imperialist combined forces was the first and grimmest trial faced by the young Republic; it was a fierce war that would decide the fate of the country and nation. The imperialists made desperate efforts to crush the Republic, which was yet to be 2 years old, in its cradle, hurling into the war a huge force of their own aggressor army, as well as the latest military hardware and other means of waging war, only to suffer ignominious defeat.

Under the leadership of great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, the ever-victorious and iron-willed, brilliant commander, the Korea people turned out as one in the just Fatherland Liberation War and fought in a self-sacrificing manner, giving a full demonstration of to unparalleled mass heroism at the front and in the rear. Consequently, they defeated the imperialists that had been boasting of being the "mightiest" in the world, defended the freedom and independence of their country with honour, encouraged the oppressed peoples of the world in their anti-imperialist national-liberation struggle, and made a great contribution to safeguarding world peace.

The historic victory in the Fatherland Liberation War was clear testimony to the Republic's invincible might, to the strength of its state and social system, to the confidence of the Korea people in sure victory, and to their indefatigable fighting spirit. It also demonstrated that no force can conquer a people who have taken their destiny in their own hands and are united solidly behind their party and leader.

The DPRK not only emerged victorious from the military confrontation with the formidable imperialist aggressor forces, but it also worked miracles and made innovations in the ensuing postwar reconstruction, socialist revolution and socialist construction.

The country completed its postwar reconstruction in a matter of just a few years and carried out the cooperative reorganization of the rural economy and the socialist transformation of private trade and industry perfectly in its style and without any deviation. In response to the call of the leader, the people embarked on the grand Chollima march in the spirit of taking ten or a hundred steps when others were taking one, thus effecting a great revolutionary upsurge that was unprecedented in socialist construction.

Through the gigantic struggle to create and construct socialism, the country, having been backward for centuries, emerged as a most advantageous and powerful people-centred socialist country, a socialist power, that is independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defence, a country called Chollima Korea, a model for socialist countries throughout the world.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung was an iron-willed and heaven-sent brilliant commander who led the DPRK always along the road of victory.
