Dueling Banjos: IRIB and Korea News

IR Leader expounds Principlism

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Upholding Songun Banner


A fundamental turn was brought in party building and overall party work under the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Il who has always put greatest efforts in strengthening the party and steadily increasing its leading role.

"The Iranian nation and authorities will conquer the hights of progress and dignity and resolve the existing problems through unity, faith, vigilance, rationality and knowledge," the Islamic Revolution Leader, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei told an audience of the Iranianj statesmen, including the President, the Speaker, the Judiciary Head, the System's Interests Council Head, the Cabinet members, the Majlis lawmakers, judicial officials, military commanders and other pro minent political, cultural and religious figures Monday.

He has created the model of the times in succeeding the idea and cause of the leader under the banner of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea, reared our revolutionary armed forces into an invincible strong army and built so many great monumental edifices of the Workers' Party era all over the country, and words fail to describe all the immortal feats he has performed in those days.

Reminding the audience of the spiritual and ethical issues and deliberating on the issue of gratitude in the Islamic thought, the IR Leader made appraisals about the political, economic, cultural and international status of the country and expounded the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, calling on the statesmen to follow prudence, multiple efforts and work as well as boosted intimacy and unanimity.

The cause of the Party is the cause of the Songun revolution and the history of his revolutionary leadership is resplendent as a noble history in which Kim Jong Il has created an ever-victorious heroic epic under the Songun banner.

Ayatollah Khamenei considered "excessive optimism or pessimism" as misleading in appraising the situation in the country.

It is entirely a brilliant fruition of his Songun politics that the lifeline of the Korean revolution pioneered in Mt. Paektu has been steadily succeeded and the dignity and unconquerable features of socialist Korea have been strikingly demonstrated to the world despite the ceaseless war provocation moves of the imperialists and complicated political situation of the world.

The IR Leader then touched on the existing realities in various foreign and domestic issues, adding that the accumulation of great, successive achievements is one of the most outstanding and positive features of the country and the System.

It is a miracle in history that he firmly defended the banner of socialism and opened a new era of building a great prosperous powerful nation with the original Songun policy in the last decade of the 20th century when the Korean revolution faced a grim test.

The IR Leader pointed to creating job, curbing inflation, outreaching to underprivileged areas, launching serious combat against corruption, safeguarding investment security, rationally consolidating the international status of the System and purifying the cultural image of the country as the priorities towards which the Principlist administrative and legislative, along with the other bodies, must take resolute and non-stop strides, by perseverance about principles as well as due planning and enduring efforts.

The whole party, whole army and all the people should more firmly arm with the greatness of the Songun policy of Kim Jong Il, unite ever closer around the headquarters of the revolution, holding ever higher the slogan "Let us defend the revolutionary headquarters headed by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il with our lives!" and resolutely defend his undying leadership exploits in party building and thoroughly apply them to the party work and activity.
