Many media of the world are giving publicity to his immortal famous works along with his portraits and widely introducing his greatness.

The south Korean people, too, are speaking highly of the feats Kim Jong Il performed by conducting energetic activities for achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of the country divided by the U.S. imperialists.

He formulated the Three Principles of National Reunification, the 10-Point Programme of the Great Unity of the Whole Nation and the Proposal for Founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo advanced by President Kim Il Sung as the Three Charters for National Reunification.
