DEFENDING WORLD PEACE
Defending World Peace with Superb Songun Leadership
The people of the world extol leader Kim Jong Il, unheard-of brilliant commander of Songun, as a great guardian of the socialist cause and a symbol of the human cause of peace. After socialism collapsed in the former Soviet Union and other East European countries, the independence cause of mankind faced a great challenge. The imperialists boasted of the end of the Cold War as their victory and got all the more undisguised to maintain the outdated international order of domination and subjugation and reign over the world as its only ruler on the strength of the military superiority. In particular, taking advantage of the September 11 incident the US declared a “war on terror” and ruthlessly trampled down Afghanistan and Iraq by military attacks. The imperialists, much more elated, further stepped up the reactionary offensive against the anti-imperialist independent countries. They focused the spearhead of aggression and war especially on Korea which was advancing forward upholding the socialist banner. The imperialists and the international reactionaries wickedly insisted on the political and diplomatic pressure, economic blockade and moves of military blackmail against Korea. The Pentagon machinators regarded a Korean war as an established fact and already worked out operational plans for it. When a Korean war could break out was a matter of time. The international community watched Korea with deep concern and worry. Leader Kim Jong Il further braced up his rock-firm will to scatter the moves of the imperialists and the international reactionaries to violate the sovereignty and dignity of other countries and nations. He said to the leading officials on January 1 of 1997 that the lessons show that strengthening the army is the vital question on which the destiny of socialism hinges, in the condition of our country which is building socialism under the imperialists’ siege and incessant military threat, without a strong army there could neither exist the people nor the socialist state and party, and in this sense the army is precisely the party, state and people. It is for his steel-like faith that both peace and socialism are guaranteed by the guns. He has continued the Songun march day and night without rest. His Songun march was a sublime historical march that propels the Juche cause of building a thriving nation and the cause of socialism, independence and peace for humankind with the Songun politics. The Songun politics is a great mode of politics which makes it possible to defend not only the destiny of one country and nation but also the international justice and successfully build a new independent and peaceful world. Not for the Songun politics administered by Kim Jong Il, it has been long ago that a war broke out in the Korean Peninsula by the imperialist aggressors and humankind would be plunged again in a wretched disaster of a new world war. Leader Kim Jong Il has conducted the energetic external activities with the firm volition to defend socialism and the world peace. He paid the visits several times to Russia and China in the new century and met lots of representatives of various countries and international organizations over the world who visited Korea, and clarified the firm stand on the issues for independence, peace and security of the world. Today the people of the world highly praise leader Kim Jong Il saying “great comrade Kim Jong Il enhances the dignity and glory of the Korean nation on the highest level and contributes a great deal to the Korean revolution and the global cause of independence with the energetic external activities including the recent visits to Russia and China” and “great comrade Kim Jong Il is a political elder of the world who performed the extraordinary feats for the Korean revolution and the human cause of independence with the unremitting external activities”. Thanks to his superb Songun revolutionary leadership and energetic external activities the imperialists’ moves against independence and peace are being frustrated in every step. Thanks to leader Kim Jong Il, the great brilliant commander of Songun, the justice and peace are safeguarded on the international arena and the human cause of independence is continually progressing overcoming the stern tribulations.
