Kim Il Sung and the Banner of Independence

President Kim Il Sung, upholding the banner of independence, rendered immortal services to the times and history.

Having embarked on the road of struggle for the country and people in his early teens, he authored the Juche idea, the gist of which is that the masses of the people are the masters and the driving force of the revolution and construction; in other words, it means that man is the master of his own destiny and has the strength with which to carve out his destiny.

Since then the Korean revolution has vigorously advanced along the road of independence.

In the period of the armed struggle to liberate Korea from the Japanese military occupation, he ensured that the guerrillas kept the strong conviction that they should fight the Japanese by making themselves weapons and grenades instead of looking forward to aids from others.

The guerrillas waged the arduous armed struggle for over 15 years, holding high the slogan of winning back the country by themselves, and achieved the country’s liberation.

After liberation he made sure that Korea took the road of Korean-style democracy, not adopting other countries’ styles, and vigorously led the struggle to reunify the country divided by foreign forces.

In the grim days of the Korean war (1950-1953) to repel the aggression of the United States he ensured that the service personnel of the Korean People’s Army employed unique tactical methods such as building tunnels and bringing direct-firing guns up to the heights, thus winning victory in the war.

After the war he put forward a unique line of economic construction to give priority to the development of heavy industry and simultaneously develop light industry and agriculture, and led his people to get rid of flunkeyism and dogmatism and take the road of independence.

When other socialist countries persistently forced Korea to join the CMEA, insisting on the “integrated economy” within them, he never vacillated in the slightest nor deviated an iota from the line of building the independent national economy.

In the mid-1980s the trend of “reform” and “openness” was sweeping the socialist countries, but he firmly maintained the independent stand and held up higher the red flag, thus defending the socialist system of Korea reliably even though others abandoned socialism.

Kim Il Sung paid great attention to realize the cause of making the world independent throughout his life.

He gave clear answers to the matters of principle arising in realizing the cause of global independence such as those on maintaining independence in the struggle for peace and fighting against the imperialist forces of aggression with the united efforts of all the peace-loving forces of the world, and on struggling while uniting and vice versa. When Francois Mitterrand, head of the French Socialist Party, visited Korea in February 1981, Kim Il Sung said to him that in order to prevent a new world war, the European countries should not be aligned with any blocs but make themselves independent and neutral, and that they should help the newly-emerging countries to firmly maintain their independence and build theirs into independent, sovereign states.

When he met Utsunomiya Tokuma, Japanese politician, he told him that the global peace would be surely maintained only when all the countries of the world, including European and Asian countries as well as Japan became independent and that it was his ideal for peace.

Kim Il Sung assisted heart and soul other countries in accomplishing their cause of anti-imperialist independence.

Already in the period of anti-Japanese armed struggle for Korea’s liberation he actively assisted the Chinese revolution and defended the former Soviet Union with arms. After liberation he also gave unstinted assistance to the countries and nations in their struggle against imperialism.

The support and assistance given by him to the Algerian people who launched an armed struggle for the national liberation in Africa, known as the Dark Continent and the continent of colonies, wrote a brilliant page in the world history of national liberation struggle.

When the Algerian patriots, encouraged by the victory of the Korean people in the Korean war, waged an armed struggle after forming the National Liberation Front in August 1954, he sent them food and other materials and set the day and the week of Algeria so as to express solidarity with them in their struggle.

When the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic was established in September 1958, he saw that the DPRK was the first country to acknowledge it and establish diplomatic relations with it.

He also gave energetic and disinterested support and aid to the peoples of Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in their struggle against colonialism and racism, the Latin American peoples’ struggle against the US imperialists and pro-US dictatorship, Arabians’ struggle against the US imperialists and Israeli Zionists, as well as the Cuban, Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian peoples’ struggle against the aggression of the US imperialists, thus greatly inspiring them to bring about historic victories.

The banner of independence upheld by President Kim Il Sung is a great power of strength and encouragement to the Korean people who are achieving eye-opening successes in the socialist construction with a firm stand of independence and also to the progressive peoples of the world who are struggling for the realization of global independence.

    Pyongyang, March 20 (KCNA) -- A drill of raiding and repairing an airfield was staged by the Air and Anti-Air Force of the Korean People's Army (KPA) amid the intensified combat drills of all the service personnel to wipe out the U.S. imperialists and their stooges hell-bent on war exercises against the DPRK.

    Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and supreme commander of the KPA, watched the drill.

    The drill was aimed to check and confirm under simulated conditions of an actual war the distribution of air forces to be involved in raiding "enemy" airfield, their striking procedures and methods, bombing and shooting art of pilots, the powers of various air weapons and the ability for repairing destroyed airfield.

    Involved in it were fighter, raider and bomber wings under the Guards 1st Air and Anti-Air Division and 5th Flight Division of the KPA Air and Anti-Air Force.

    After being briefed on the decision made by the commander of the KPA Air and Anti-Air Force to carry out the task of striking the "enemy" airfield at an observation post, Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un gave an order to start the drill.

    Various types of mine bombs were successively dropped in a brief span of time on the "enemy" airfield in the wake of raiding on its depot, commanding post and runways by using rocket gun shells and unguided rockets.

    Watching the fighters dealing intensive strikes at important posts of the "enemy" airfield, the supreme commander said with great satisfaction that such strikes would utterly shock the enemy forces and praised the pilots for their perfect and thrilling strike.

    Then, followed a drill for repairing the destroyed airfield.

    After the drill, Kim Jong Un gave an important instruction that would serve as guidelines in rounding off the combat preparedness of the KPA Air and Anti-Air Force.

    He said that all the fighter pilots should make a steady and profound study of the Juche-based flying combat method, guerrilla-style war method and conduct intensified flight training to acquire high aeronautics, bombing art and marksmanship and get fully familiar with practical war methods and actions.

    Stressing the need to reject formalism and stereotyped patterns and steadily improve contents and forms under the Party's training-first slogan and thus bring about a turn in raising the quality of flight training, he repeatedly urged all the air units to make the high-intensity training a part of daily life and a habit.

    Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Hyon Yong Chol, Jo Kyong Chol, Ri Pyong Chol and Hong Yong Chil. -0-
