Under his leadership, the Korean people eradicated the aftermath of the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule in a short span of time and turned the country, a backward agricultural state, into a powerful and developed socialist industrial state which the principle of independence, self-sustenance and self-reliance in defence was thoroughly embodied, the chief said.

After the liberation of Korea, the genuine people's party, the people's power and the people's army were founded under the wise leadership of Comrade Kim Il Sung.

Korea is a great country that performs miracles and feats day by day.
