President Kim Il Sung is the most distinguished great man recognized by the world, he said, and went on:

Kim Il Sung devoted all his life to the prosperity of the DPRK and the happiness of the people, the world peace and the human cause of independence.

That is why the world people miss him very much and deeply revere him.

Referring to the present international situation, he continued:

A grave situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula owing to the warship "Cheonan" sinking case orchestrated by the south Korean authorities. This was caused by their moves to tarnish the image of the DPRK.

The assertions of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities about the case are all hypocritical and groundless.

At this time I visited the DPRK to express my invariable support for the Korean people.

Peace is ensured on the peninsula thanks to the Songun politics pursued by General Secretary
Kim Jong Il.

What I felt in the course of meeting many people is that the Korean people are single-mindedly united around their leader.

The Korean people are now waging a dynamic struggle to open the gate to a thriving nation in 2012.

I extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people's just cause.

I will sincerely help the Korean people in their struggle as chairman of the foundation going by the august name of Kim Il Sung, the founder of socialist Korea and peerlessly great man.
