Pyongyang, February 16 (KCNA) — Leading newspapers of the DPRK Monday dedicate editorials to the 84th birth anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il.

The papers say that the lifeline of the Juche revolution and the ever-victorious tradition of the DPRK could be steadily carried forward and a new era of comprehensive national rejuvenation opened up in the country thanks to the day of February 16, 1942.

Rodong Sinmun in an editorial says that Chairman Kim Jong Il is a peerless patriot who had the highest level of personalities and qualifications of a leader of the revolution and performed great feats to be glorified forever for the prosperity of the country and happiness of the people.

It goes on:

Chairman Kim Jong Il is a great master in ideology and theory as he illuminated the road ahead of Korean-style socialism with his rare ideological and theoretical wisdom.

As the peerlessly great man clearly indicated the road of advance with his great idea consistent with the times, originality, philosophical profundity and encyclopedic and popular characters, the DPRK people could advance unyieldingly toward a new horizon of a prosperous power without an inch of deviation from the invariable road of socialism.

Kim Jong Il is an outstanding statesman who built a country of single-minded unity modeled on the monolithic idea for the first time in history.

Under the banner of “monolithic ideological system” put forward by Kim Jong Il, the revolutionary discipline and order in which only the idea and leadership of the leader are upheld were established in all spheres of the state and social life and a new image of the DPRK where all the people were united with one will and took the same steps was created.

Kim Jong Il is a peerless patriot who laid a solid foundation for Korean-style socialism to prosper by dint of self-reliance.

The strongest self-defence capability of our state which no one dares to provoke and the increasing potential of the self-supporting economy are associated with the great exploits performed by the Chairman all his life.

Minju Joson in an editorial says that only victory and glory are in store for the DPRK and its people advancing with the ideas and exploits of Kim Jong Il as an eternal foundation.
