He said:

Kim Jong Il firmly defended Korean-style socialism, a beacon of hope for progressive mankind, from all the moves of the hostile forces and laid strong political, military and economic foundations of the DPRK, thus performing undying feats for its socialist cause and the global independence.

President Kim Il Sung, the founding-father of socialist Korea, and Kim Jong Il, the defender of socialism and justice, will always live in minds of the world progressive people.

I extend firm support and solidarity to the Korean people who are dynamically speeding up the general advance for carrying forward and accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche and building a thriving socialist nation, rallied close around the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
