Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- The DPRK has dynamically advanced along the invariable course of achieving prosperity by self-reliance chosen by itself, says Rodong Sinmun in an article Sunday.

The proud reality would have been unthinkable without the immortal patriotic exploits performed by Chairman Kim Jong Il who provided a firm foundation to make our people live and develop in their own way and with their own efforts, the article says, and goes on:

The immortal feat of Kim Jong Il who provided an eternal foundation for achieving the prosperity by self-reliance is that he strengthened the self-supporting material and technical foundation.

His immortal patriotic feat is that he provided the strong economic foundation contributive to making progress with one's own efforts and promoting the people's well-being despite difficult challenges and pressure that others would not withstand.

Thanks to his wise leadership, the DPRK could build the self-supporting economy which has tremendous potential of development remaining unfazed in the world-wide economic upheavals and fully ensuring independence in politics and self-reliant in defence materially.

He also built the powerful driving forces equipped with transparent independent spirit and high creative ability.

The cause of building a powerful country is doomed to failure without the internal forces to push ahead with the great cause of achieving prosperity by self-reliance, though there are favorable conditions and foundation to live with one's own efforts.

Thanks to his rare foresightedness and wise leadership, our revolutionary position has been built into a powerful position of self-reliance defended by excellent scientists and technicians firmly armed with the Juche idea and the people with ample knowledge and abundant experience of self-reliance. -0-
