"Kim Il Sung, he is pioneer and leader of the independent era."

"The great Comrade Kim Il Sung is the world’s great man who put human history on the track of independence."

This is the sincere admiration of the progressive mankind for President Kim Il Sung who performed immortal exploits before the times and history with independence.

Independence was the revolutionary creed, mode of revolution and revolutionary practice which our President cherished and applied throughout his life.

President Kim Il Sung secured a new origin of the independent era by founding the immortal Juche idea for the first time in history.

Based on the Juche Idea, the President gave perfect solutions to all the theoretical and practical issues arising in carrying out national liberation and class liberation, socialist revolution and construction, global revolution and independent cause of mankind and brought about world-historic changes with outstanding leadership and brilliant revolutionary practice.

The world people under oppression, who were forced the fate of colonial slaves by imperialists and dominationists, accepted the Juche idea, the idea of independence, as faith and turned out in the struggle for realizing independence while opposing oppression and subordination.

Amid the fierce flames of anti-imperialist national liberation struggle that swept the whole world, lots of countries broke the chains of imperialism and colonialism and achieved freedom and liberation.

In immortal classic work "Tasks of the People's Government in Modeling the Whole Society on the Juche Idea", the President clarified the original idea and theory on making the whole world independent.

In his work, the President formulated that an independent world is a world where all kinds of dominationism and colonialism have been completely abolished and where the sovereignty of all countries and nations has been fully translated into reality.

This was a great programme and an immortal banner which enabled the struggle of the progressive mankind for the independence of the world to be put on a new high stage.

The President also made public lots of classic works to point out that the main target of struggle in realizing the independence of the whole world is the imperialist forces in the world and that all the anti-imperialist independent forces of the world advocating independence and fighting for social progress should fight in unity.

That the President set forth slogan "People of the World Advocating Independence, Unite!" is an undying exploit of great theoretical and practical significance in intensifying the world revolutionary forces and victoriously advancing the independent cause of the whole world.

The President, indeed, is a legendary hero who ushered in a new independent era and achieved everlasting exploits with tireless efforts and energetic activities for the people’s freedom and happiness and for socialism and the implementation of the independent cause of mankind.
