Pyongyang, December 30 (KCNA) -- The DPRK State Stamp Bureau issued new stamps carrying pictures of leader Kim Jong Il.

Seen in the two sheets are inscriptions "The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il will live forever" and "The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il will always be with us" respectively.

One of them contains a picture of Kim Jong Il with a broad smile on his face and pictures of Kimjongilia and magnolia blossoms.

The other sheet includes a picture of Kim Jong Il, together with the dear respected Kim Jong Un, in field guidance, against the background of Mt. Paektu, a holy mountain of revolution, tinged with glow.
