The message said:

The birth of you leader Kim Jong Il as a bright star over Mt. Paektu marked a great auspicious event of the nation as it brought rays of hope to the fellow countrymen seized with grief over being a stateless nation and guaranteed the nation's eternal happiness and glory and meant its great fortune as it promised the victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche.

It is thanks to the historic February when the nation rejoiced over the birth of the peerless great man that overseas compatriots live with their chests thrown out full of great national pride and dignity even in alien lands, singing of the fortune of being members of the sun's nation blessed with the illustrious leaders.

The hearts of all of us are filled with conviction of sure victory that everything will go well in our homeland and lots of new changes will take place in the building of a thriving nation and it will tower higher over the earth under your wise leadership again this year, the 65th birthday of the great mother Party just as a thriving family is crowded with auspicious events everyday.

We will invariably believe and follow you as Heaven in the future, too, and dynamically advance along the road of patriotism in order to contribute to achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of the country and building a rich and powerful country, keeping pace with the people in the homeland all out in the general march to unfailingly open the gate to a thriving nation in 2012, the centenary of birth of President Kim Il Sung.
