In view of fundamental requirements of the revolution and out of his strong sense of moral obligation, Kim Jong Il had Kim Il Sung held in high esteem as eternal leader of the Workers' Party and the people of Korea as well as eternal President of the DPRK. With Kim Il Sung's behests as WPK's guideline, he aroused the whole party and army and all the people to carry them into practice.

Ｗe, officials of the ministry, will remain intensely loyal to Kim Jong Un, deeply aware of the idea of the treatise."
