Cambodian paper Kmae Amata carried a special write-up illustrated with a photo of President Kim Il Sung with leader Kim Jong Il, a photo of Kim Jong Il waving back to the cheering crowd on the tribune of honor of Kim Il Sung Square and a photo of Kim Jong Il with the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

The article titled "Leader Kim Jong Il Will Be Immortal" said:

In the demise of Kim Jong Il the world lost the most prominent great man.

He was a master of leadership as he ushered in the greatest heyday of prosperity in the national history of Korea.

He was a kind-hearted father of the people who regarded the people's happiness as his biggest pleasure and conducted dynamic activities for it.

A Cambodian radio said:

He steadily developed in depth the Juche idea founded by Kim Il Sung through energetic ideological and theoretical activities.

He authored various works at a time when the world socialism was undergoing a trial due to the collapse of socialism in Eastern European countries, proving that socialism is the invariable ideal of humankind.

He developed Songun idea in depth and formulated Songun politics as a basic political mode under socialism, thus providing progressive mankind with a powerful ideological and theoretical weapon for making the socialist cause win one victory after another even under any hard circumstances and conditions.
