The Juche Idea Is an Immortal Banner
of the Progressive People.
Great ideology plays decisive role in historical progress and social development.
The Juche idea is a man-centred world outlook and a revolutionary doctrine of the popular masses for independence.
Thanks to the Juche idea, the popular masses have been able to create a new history of progress and prosperity with high self-consciousness of being masters of the world and their destiny.
History makes vigorous progress in the struggle for independence, sovereignty and socialism under the banner of the Juche idea.
The Juche idea provides the popular masses with a powerful weapon to realize their independence at present.
The Songun idea that illuminates the road to realize independence of the popular masses by relying on rifle, the revolutionary army is the banner of anti-imperialism and independence.
Reality of the DPRK that safeguards firmly its national independence and dignity while frustrating the imperialists’ anti-DPRK isolation and suffocation moves and braving through oncoming trials and difficulties proves the great vitality of the Songun idea.
The Juche idea is now striking its root deep in the minds of the world progressives and becomes a recognized guiding ideology that represents not only the present era but the whole historical era of humankind.
The popular masses’ struggle to build a new independent world free from domination and subjugation, intervention and pressure under the banner of the Juche idea will surely win victory.
Humankind Will Invariably Advance
along the Road of Independence.
Independence is the life and soul not only of a social being, the popular masses, but also of the country and nation and of humankind.
All countries and nations of the world demand to oppose all sorts of domination and subjugation and solve all problems by themselves in conformity with requirements and interests of their people without depending on others.
No one wants to be subjugated to others and no nation allows its dignity to be trampled down.
Ours is the era of independence in which the popular masses shape the world and their destiny independently and creatively.
Humankind desires for the society in which independence of the popular masses is fully realized.
No force can check the struggle of the popular masses who rose to realize independence with self-awareness of being masters of their destiny.
It is law of socio-historical development that humankind advances along the road of independence, whatever changes there may be in the world political structure.
Independence is justice, truth and victory.
New independent world will surely be built by the struggle of the progressive people who value independence and love justice and peace.
Let Us Bring about a New Turn in Implementing
the Cause of Global Independence.
Global independence is a common fighting task of the progressive people at present.
Independent world is the world which is free from domination and subjugation, intervention and pressure and in which all countries and nations fully exercise right to independence as masters of their destiny.
All countries and nations should struggle dynamically to bring about common prosperity while supporting to and cooperating with each other in a peaceful world.
It is necessary for all countries and nations to exercise full-fledged right to independence in international arena, in order to realize global independence.
Let us solve all problems arising in international relations on a fair basis in conformity with the interests of our countries and nations, the common interests of humankind.
Let us strengthen and develop international cooperative relations among countries and nations on the principle of respecting independence.
It is an important demand for the implementation of the cause of independence to adhere to the principle of justice, equality and fairness in the field of international relations.
There are countries, big or small and economically developed or underdeveloped in the world, but there can never be dominating or dominated ones.
All countries and nations should not allow double standards in the international relations but establish a new international order based on independence.
Let Us Fight against Imperialism and Dominationism.
Global independence is inconceivable without the struggle against imperialism and dominationism.
Imperialism is dominating force that tramples down independence of the popular masses and main obstacle that destroys the world peace and security and disturbs common development of humankind.
Independence is trampled down and social chaos and disorder are caused in many countries and nations of the world by tyranny and arbitrariness of imperialists.
All countries and nations should never tolerate slightest infringement upon sovereignty, rejecting every sort of imperialist pressure and intervention.
All countries and nations that aspire after independence and peace should fight staunchly against hegemony and aggressive moves made by the imperialists including US imperialists and under the ambition of world supremacy.
Illusion about and fear of imperialism immediately leads to death.
It is necessary to have a clear understanding of the nature of imperialism and maintain thorough anti-imperialist stand and independent line.
All countries and nations should preserve Juche character and national character and bring about their independent development and prosperity.
They should also reject every kind of domination and subjugation by imperialists and defend national independence and sovereignty by themselves.
The world people’s just cause for independence, peace and progress will surely win victory.
World People Who Defend Independence, Unite.
The cause of global independence is at once national cause and common cause of humankind.
It is the truth proved by history in the struggle for independence that one stands if united, but falls if divided.
All countries and nations, small or underdeveloped, who oppose domination and subjugation, should unite firmly. Only then, can they push ahead with the cause of global independence.
Unity is immediately strength and powerful weapon of the anti-imperialist struggle in our era.
All countries and nations should thoroughly frustrate the imperialists’ moves of aggression, war and arbitrariness with united strength.
They should oppose national egoism and resolutely reject the imperialist moves of division and alienation.
All countries and nations should make concerted efforts and conduct more dynamically the joint struggle when the imperialists intensify domination, subjugation and intervention more than ever.
Independence is the basis of unity.
Those countries and nations that advance along the banner of independence should further strengthen unity, cooperation and solidarity on the basis of independence.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a strong fortress for the cause of global independence.
Assuring that the Korean people will surely build the powerful socialist country under the wise leadership of His Excellency Kim Jong Un, the Juche idea followers over the world extend absolute support to and solidarity with the Korean people in their just struggle for national prosperity and development and the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
Let Us Study and Disseminate the Juche Idea More Actively.
New independent world is the world in which the Juche idea is applied comprehensively.
Juche idea followers of all countries over the world.
Let us study and disseminate the Juche idea more dynamically with dignity, pride, preparedness and determination of being disseminators of the great idea and pioneers of the era, thus making an active contribution to the implementation of the people’s cause of independence.
Let us apply the Juche idea thoroughly in the practice of the cause of independence.
Let us expand and activate further the Juche idea and the Songun idea study organizations.
Let us enhance the role of the IIJI and regional institutes and activate international and regional exchange and cooperation among the study organizations.
Let us increase continuously the rank of followers among the youth, the masters of the future, and build up the hardcore rank in prospect as a more energetic one to succeed the study and dissemination of the Juche idea.
Let us improve forms and methods of studying and disseminating the Juche idea in conformity with the requirement of developing realities.

Let us learn after experiences and successes achieved by the Korean people in advancing the revolution and construction under the banner of the Juche idea and apply it in conformity with concrete realities of our countries.
The world progressives’ aspiration to learn after the Juche idea gets stronger day by day in a new century. History advances dynamically along the orbit of independence.
We, who celebrate meaningfully the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung as a grand auspicious event of human history in Pyongyang, solemnly state once again before history and the era that we will discharge responsibility and role as vanguard fighters in implementing the cause of global independence.
It is our firm determination and will to fight for victory of the Juche idea in the world.
It is a historic event giving the conviction in bright future of the Juche cause that His Excellency Kim Jong Un was elected as the head of the Workers’ Party of Korea at the 4th WPK Conference.
We will follow to the last the ideology and leadership of His Excellency Kim Jong Un, the great successor to the Juche cause.
