Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- The DPRK is a great country which has emerged as the first ideological power in the history of mankind and is winning victory after victory with its inexhaustible strength, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in an article.

An ideological power is the name peculiar to Juche Korea which no country in the world can have, the article says, and goes on:

Ideology is the most vital and core factor propelling the building of a powerful country.

Thanks to President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, our state could establish the most scientific revolutionary idea, the acme in the history of human thought, as a political philosophy of the state and apply it to the state building and activities.

The myth of war victory in the 1950s, miracles of Chollima and victory in the struggle to defend socialism in the 1990s are the great fruition of the doctrine of ideology almighty.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is the peerless statesman and great leader who is ushering in a new era of comprehensive national rejuvenation, the great era of power, holding the Juche-oriented theory of ideology as an almighty weapon.

The revolutionary idea of Kim Jong Un is the greatest one displaying extraordinary truth and vitality in attaining the goal of building a powerful state and translating all the ideals of the people into reality.

Under his care, the Party, state and people are strong in ideology and demonstrating their honor as the invincible Party, powerful state and great people advancing and emerging victorious by dint of ideology.

The immense might of all the people, who hold the great leader of the revolution in high esteem and are possessed of the great revolutionary mode of advancing and winning victory by dint of ideology, will surely bring about a great thriving power on the horizon of the new era. -0-
