Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- Today, the DPRK is fully demonstrating before the world its might as an independent power and invincible socialist state.

The people of the glorious DPRK greeting its 77th founding anniversary are recollecting the brilliant journey of the miraculous years that they opened up a new era of self-respect and prosperity, the era of our state-first principle, on this land while bringing about a series of epoch-making events admiring the world people under the leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

In December 2012 the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un expressed his firm determination and will to turn the DPRK into the most powerful country and people's paradise admired by the world under the uplifted banner of Juche.

Comrade Kim Jong Un advanced the idea and theory of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism on nation building through his energetic ideological and theoretical activities on the road of leading the revolution and developed them in depth, thus opening a broad avenue to the era of our state-first principle, the building of a socialist power.

The world's most rare wealth came into being in different parts of the country thanks to the devoted efforts of Kim Jong Un, who had never stopped thinking about the country and its people and taking his steps even a day and a moment, saying that the country would advance ten years if we suffered hardships a year.

Many monumental edifices including model and standard factories have been built across the country, and the dreams and ideals of the people are translating into reality amid the grandiose blasting to herald the regional industrial revolution following the ground-breaking ceremonies for building 10 000 flats in the capital city of Pyongyang.

All these victories are a great demonstration of the tremendous potential of the DPRK which is dignified with independence, prosperous with self-sustenance and strong with self-reliance in defence.

The era of our state-first principle shines as a new era of self-respect and prosperity thanks to Kim Jong Un, who demonstrates the dignity and might of the country to the whole world and brings the people's life and happiness into full bloom with his energetic leadership. -0-
