  • Chairman Kim Jong Il
    HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL PYONGYANG, KOREA JUCHE 104 (2015) HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea Juche 104 (2015) 1 PREFACE Kim Jong Il, who led the cause of the Juche revolution pioneered by Kim Il Sung along the road resplendent with victory, is the eternal General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Already in the 1960s he started administering unique Songun-based revolutionary leadership, Songun politics, and in the mid-1970s he began to lead the overall affairs of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the Korean People’s Army and the state, thus bringing about a radical turn in all the sectors of the revolution and construction and ushering in a heyday of the era of the WPK under the banner of modelling the whole society on Kimilsungism. After the death of Kim Il Sung in the mid-1990s, he formulated the mode of Songun politics in a comprehensive way. By so doing, he frustrated the ever-more undisguised schemes of the US-led allied imperialist forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK, defended his socialist country reliably and opened a new era of building a thriving socialist country. Cherishing an ennobling sense of obligation to the destiny of his country and fellow people and the future of the Korean revolution, he provided a brilliant solution to the problem of inheriting leadership, the core in accomplishing the revolutionary cause.

    PANORAMA OF PYONGYANG Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea Juche 103 (2014) Preface Pyongyang is the capital of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The founding of the DPRK in September Juche 37 (1948) has unfolded a new history of Pyongyang, capital of an independent and sovereign state. The Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Government of the DPRK are situated here. Grand monumental structures, revolutionary sites and modern streets, such as Chollima, Munsu, Changgwang, An Sang Thaek, Kwangbok, Thongil, Chongchun, Mansudae, Changjon and Unha Scientists and Wisong Scientists Dwelling District provide the looks of thriving Pyongyang in the era of the Workers' Party of Korea. Pyongyang has been turned into the political, economic and cultural hub of the country. Its history began with the founding by Tangun, father of the Korean nation, of Ancient Joson with the city as the capital. During the period of Koguryo, a power that existed in the East for a thousand years, Pyongyang was its first or second capital. In the days of Koryo and feudal Joson dynasty, it served as a military stronghold for the northwestern area. The city, cradle of mankind and the Taedonggang Civilization, one of the world’s five civilizations, is home to multitudes of remains and relics showing the history and culture of the Korean nation.

  • Son of the People
    SON OF THE PEOPLE Foreign Languages Publishing House DPR Korea Juche 107 (2018) Preface Son of the people–this appellation befits a national leader who, as a paragon of virtue, respects and loves his people and works devotedly for their wellbeing. In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea the leader regards himself as the son of the people and devotes his entire life to their interests, while the people call him fatherly leader and support him with pure loyalty and obligation. This is a striking feature of Korean society that has formed a great harmonious family with the leader at the centre. Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un said: “I will devote myself for the sake of the socialist country and its people, as I was entrusted by General Kim Jong Il.” The Korean people have seen in their leader selfless devotion to their interests. Indeed, he is the outstanding leader of Kim Il Sung’s nation, Kim Jong Il’s Korea.
