Determination to Carry on the Anti-imperialist Revolutionary Struggle

AS part of the Festival of Mount Paektusan, I am transmitting my text in honor of the great General KIM JONG IL, who, as the son of Mount Paektu, born in Paektusan Secret Camp, has grown up to be a great beloved leader and fighter against imperialism.
Thus, in his poem "I Will Carry on The March Started from Mount Paektu", he impressively showed his determination to carry on the anti- imperialist revolutionary struggle, which already originated from the forest of Mount Paektu. In the spirit of this great man, who always upheld the revolutionary spirit of Mount Paektu, is also the festival of Mount Paektusan.
The mountain which was the fundamental source of great mental strength for our beloved comrade leaders KIM JONG IL and KIM IL SUNG is not only a place of extraordinary significance for the Korean people, but also filled me, as a son of the German people, with emotion when I first saw the majestic images of this mountain in the knowledge of its significance.
I thereby feel very honored by being given the opportunity to write my personal words of appreciation for this important Festival and having the opportunity to express my thoughts on the Korean people and the great Leader KIM JONG IL I have been following with interest so long. Studying his example I saw the great achievements of a national orientated socialism in action, that I have been wishing for my German people so long.
Despite the diverse social grievances in my country, I look into the distance full of hope and linger in the state of Juche. It is with lively satisfaction t hat I still see in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea today the continuation of the path of Mount Paektu, which began with the great leader KIM IL SUNG, and whose importance and meaning I fully appreciate on this special occasion.
