Kim Jong Un's entire translated remarks are at the link below for those who wish to study the words. Also there is a 23 minute video at the link. He speaks well with apparent confidence. For those who think Military First Politics are over we should keep in mind his very first remarks about the People's Army and addressing Kim Il-sung as President and Kim Jong-il as General.

DPRK state media broadcasted and reported on 1 January 2013 (Tuesday) that Kim Jong Un (Kim Cho’ng-u’n) delivered a New Year’s Day speech from the Korean Workers’ Party [KWP] Central Committee Office Building #1. In his remarks KJU paid tribute to his father, deceased leader Kim Jong Il (Kim Cho’ng-il), and to his grandfather, the late DPRK founder and president Kim Il Sung (Kim Il-so’ng). Kim Jong Un also spoke about inter-Korean relations and placed the successful launch of the U’nha-3 rocket as a model in economic construction, saying “in the same manner as we demonstrated the dignity and might of Military-First (so’ngun) Korea through the manufacture and launch of the Chuch’e-based application satellite, the entire Party, the whole country and all the people should wage an all-out struggle this year to effect a turnaround in building an economic giant and improving the people’s standard of living. ’Let us bring about a radical turn in the building of an economic giant with the same spirit and mettle as were displayed in conquering space!’ — this is the fighting slogan our Party and people should uphold this year.”
KCNA published a translation of Kim Jong Un’s speech:
Dear comrades,
Officers and men of the heroic People’s Army and all the beloved fellow countrymen,
Dear compatriots,
Having seen out the year 2012 characterized by the events that will go down in the history of the nation, we are seeing in the new year 2013 full of high hope and confidence in final victory.
Reflecting the unanimous reverence of all the service personnel and people for President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il, the fathers of the nation and eternal Sun of Chuch’e, I would like first to pay the highest tribute and New Year greetings to them.
I extend my warm greetings to the service personnel and people who are devotedly striving for the prosperity of the country, firmly united around the Workers’ Party of Korea, and sincerely wish all the families across the country harmony and greater happiness.
