He said:

I was deeply impressed to visit the venue of the 15th Kimjongilia Festival during my visit to the DPRK.

It presented fantastic scenery as it was full of beautiful flowers that came into full bloom thanks to the best wishes of the Korean people and the world progressives for General Secretary Kim Jong Il. Kimjongilia is the flower praising the great man.

My visit to the venue provided an opportunity to realize what profound trust the Korean people and the world progressives repose in Kim Jong Il.

I was greatly inspired to witness the dynamic drive being waged by the Korean people for the prosperity of the country under his leadership.

I pay high tribute to Kim Jong Il, the brilliant thinker and theoretician and peerlessly brilliant commander of Songun.

We will conduct in the future, too, brisk activities to study and disseminate the Juche idea giving most correct answers to the questions arising in the anti-imperialist struggle and the efforts to accomplish global independence.
