President KIM IL SUNG is the outstanding and Great Leader of mankind, the only inspirer of revolutionaries of the world, the founder of the Worker’s Party of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the fortress of freedom, democracy and socialism, the author of the great Juche idea, the thinker and theoretician of the great proletarian revolution and the people’s father who boundlessly loves man. Life of President KIM IL SUNG was the life of a great revolutionary who devoted his all to the sacred revolutionary cause for people’s freedom and liberation. President KIM IL SUNG devoted his life to the independent cause of popular masses and the Great Leader devoted his all to the revolution.
Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG, holding fast to the stand of Juche, presented lines of struggle and slogans most suitable to the urgent requirements of the developing revolution and the aspirations of the people in each stage and period of the Korean revolution and on this basis, set forth the ways to push ahead with the Korean revolution braving all difficulties and gave concrete guidance for their implementation. His slogans of struggle, lines and politics are most scientific, revolutionary and popular. The Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG who is highly respected and beloved by the people was an outstanding and brilliant leader of revolution and construction who leads the revolution most correctly with brilliant wisdom. All the successes achieved by the Korean people in the revolutionary struggle owe entirely to the Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG who fully represented the requirement of the times and the aspirations of the people and lead the Korean and world revolution along the one road of victory with brilliant intelligence and preeminent leadership. The President KIM IL SUNG also made energetic efforts for the emancipation of the people and went through grave hardships and advanced the revolution successfully with revolutionary faith and iron will.
President KIM IL SUNG always mixes with the workers, farmers, children, students, the old men and women and listen to their opinion and explains state policies to them. In this way he enlisted the whole nation in the construction. This is the famous field guidance. It was quite different from the way the bureaucratic direction people at the top acted, just talking and doing nothing. President KIM IL SUNG possessed ardent and noble revolutionary comradeship and obligation and trusted and put up his comrades who shared idea and will, and life and death with him. He treasured his comrades, took care of them and devoted his all for them. President KIM IL SUNG possessed warm love for the people and provided the people with political integrity and enabled them to lead an independent life. He took warm care of people’s living. The President KIM IL SUNG possessed generosity and magnanimity and led all people to rebirth with no regard to their previous records if they have conscience of loving the country and the people.
President KIM IL SUNG embraced the Koreans and world people who aspire for independence. It is indeed not an easy task to assess and evaluate the multifaceted talents and capacity of the most unique and dynamic leader of the entire Korean people President KIM IL SUNG to deal effectively with matters concerned with almost all parts of state affairs as well as the unusual contributions in making the Democratic People's Republic of Korea play considerable role in the world history. It was he who through his far-sightedness, wisdom and courage had protected ahead the nation's survival and progress from various challenges and threats from within and without.
President KIM IL SUNG’s personality had not remained confined only to any limited area but had expanded over the entire regions of the nation. In fact, the multi-faceted personality of President KIM IL SUNG had become a golden page in the history of multi-lateral progress of DPRK. The Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG had so closely identified himself with the urges and aspirations of the people that there is nothing in the DPRK which does not carry the distinct impact of that great personality. Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG had personally visited each and every nook and corner of the DPRK to understand for himself the hardships and problems of his people. The revolutionary idea formulated by President KIM IL SUNG is Kimilsungism with the Juche idea as the essence.
The revolutionary idea propounded by President KIM IL SUNG was an inheritance and development of Marxism-Leninism and it forms the highest pinnacle of the revolutionary ideas of the working class. In this sense, it may be said that the revolutionary idea of President KIM IL SUNG is not a mere present day Marxism–Leninism and it is proper that the Korean people call it Kimilsungism after his death also. President KIM IL SUNG, like the rising sun in the Far East had one of the most far-sighted leadership among all Marxism–Leninism leaders in the contemporary world. Korean people hold him high veneration for he laid them through thick and thin. The pace at which the great Korean people have attained progress in almost all fields of socio-economic structure of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is the direct result of the beloved leader of the entire Korean people, Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG who was adored as brilliant master of creation and construction. It was he who had performed immortal feats for the cause of human liberation and of socialist construction. The experiences demonstrate that when he formulates line and policy at each stage of the revolution, he forces the distant future not only taking into account the present and sets a clear direction and objective of struggle for the masses.
With the successful acceleration of the three revolutions, socialist Korea has become an invincible country where the firm unity and cohesion based on the Juche idea has been achieved. Where mechanization and automation has been introduced in all work places and the economy develops at a world startling high rate and where socialist culture and arts bloom. The tremendous social and economic changes brought about in a short time is entirely the result of the wise guidance of the Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG. He was a leader with the Juche based and scientifically-laid vision, the strong revolutionary principle, extraordinary revolutionary sweep brilliant wisdom and superb art of leadership.
A Great Leader of an indomitable iron revolutionary will and principle, President KIM IL SUNG maintains all along the Juche and independent principle in formulating and implementing line and policies. Proceeding from this principle he set the basic line of economic construction after the Korean war, a line of giving priority to the growth of heavy industry with simultaneous development of light industry and agriculture , the policy of transforming the economic forms prior to technical transformation, the policy of transforming old intellectuals in a revolutionary way and many other original lines and policies and implemented them through an uncompromising struggle against all kinds of opportunity and counter-revolutionaries.
Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG never allowed a slightest stagnation, passivism and conservatism and leads the people all along to continuous innovation and uninterrupted advancement. Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG always grasps the main link of the whole chains, concentrates on it and pushes ahead with the whole work smoothly and brings it to completion by the method lightning operation. Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG gives on the spot guidance, he goes to the masses, shares life and death, joys and sorrows with them and inspires them.
Despite his very busy engagements in the Party and state activities Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG granted us audience as well as face to face interview at Chongjin on June 19, 1979 and the way he intimately embraced me calling me an old friend, left an indelible imprint on my heart. This can never be effaced from my memory. This day is, therefore, a very important day in our life. This day materialized our long cherished desire to meet and face to face talk with President KIM IL SUNG.
During the meeting, we had the fortunate opportunity of knowing and acquainting ourselves with Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG commanding international veneration and esteem from a very close quarter and the impressions of the same are even today indelible in my mind and heart. We ourselves feel sometimes wonderstruck to see how the impressions of President KIM IL SUNG’s personality have been immortal on our heart and then put a question and ask as to why it could become so. Then immediately we recall the most affectionate and friendly manner in which the Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG treated us and the members of our delegation during that visit and some to the conclusion that was mainly the reason behind that. The day we happened to meet personally President KIM IL SUNG symbolizes, we feel the fulfillment of our long cherished dream and aspirations. We are indeed very much indebted to President KIM IL SUNG for the precious time he allotted to grant me an interview, and feel that the affections and most cordial treatment he meted out towards us, It was indeed a very unique occasion for us to have received such a fraternal treatment from the Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG. The simplicity and deep affection with which President KIM IL SUNG held conversation with me and replied to my various questions confirmed in our minds and hearts the truth that it is these qualities and virtues of this most distinguished personality of President KIM IL SUNG which in fact are responsible for taking Korea on the path of progress and prosperity.
Likewise, I also get the great opportunity to put the questions before the Great Leader President KIM IL SUNG on 29th November 1990 in Pyongyang.
DPRK had developed tremendously under the dynamic leadership of the President KIM IL SUNG which will be written in golden figures in the world history. The President KIM IL SUNG was not only the Great Leader of the Korean people but also one of the Great Leader of the entire progressive people of the world including Nepal too.
The Great Juche idea is very popular in our country, Nepal. Deeply studying the above facts, we the like-minded peace loving and progressive journalists of Nepal have established “NJA for Studying Juche Idea & Songun Policy” on the occasion of “Sun’s Day”, the Birth Anniversary of President KIM IL SUNG on 15th April 2010 in Kathmandu to disseminate in mass-public the Juche Idea and Songun Policy.
Juche Idea gives a genuinely revolutionary world outlook of our time, the Juche age. This constitutes a major historic contribution made by the Juche idea to the development of humanity's thinking and to the cause of liberation of mankind. The Juche idea defined man as the master who dominates the world, not merely as part of it, and thus established a new world outlook which, unlike preceding ones, regards the world and its changes and progress with man, its master, at the centre. The Juche viewpoint and stand on the world with man in the central place provide a sure guarantee for the independent and creative cognitional activities and practice of man who transforms the world and shapes his destiny. The Juche idea has been brilliantly applied, above all, to the Korean revolution and has won a great victory. Indeed, the Juche idea is an immortal banner of struggle, a banner of victory, for the popular masses in their endeavor to create a new world and shape their own destiny.
The Songun politics idea was first adopted and implemented by Great Leader Comrade KIM JONG IL in January 1995. Its major doctrine is to treat military power and national defense as the top priority of the country or simply, everything else should give way to military affairs. The Songun politics is a product of the Cold War, and a way of leadership the DPRK was forced to adopt against the severe international climate after the Cold War, the stagnated domestic economy, and the growing pressure from abroad. In the face of the country's practical conditions in the aftermath of the Cold War in northeast Asia, the DPR of Korea had to maintain a wartime perception of national security, and keep strengthening its national defense, which has since been institutionalized as a national strategy.
Songun politics has rendered Korea’s politico-ideological position secure in every way. The traditional single-hearted unity of the Korean society in which all the people are united around their leader in one ideology, mind and purpose has entered a new, higher stage of development under the Great Leader KIM JONG IL’s Songun-based leadership.
As long as it is led by his Songun-based leadership, Korea will remain forever as an impregnable power.
We take this opportunity of expressing our confidence that Korea and the Korean people will continue to attain new heights of success in all fields and in all sectors under the dynamic and far-sighted leadership of Supreme Leader Marshal KIM JONG UN.
We are confident that the ties of friendship, mutual trust and cooperation which have been subsisting so happily between our two countries will continue to attain still greater successes. We sincere wish His Excellency’s Supreme Leader Marshal KIM JONG UN’s good health, long life and happiness as well as for continued progress and prosperity of the Korean people.
Lastly, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the organizers of the e-Seminar.
President KIM IL SUNG and Great Leader Comrade KIM JONG IL will be always with us!
Long-live The Great Juche Idea and Songun policy!
Long-live Nepal-Korea Friendship!
Thank You
