The talk was carried by newspapers on August 3.

Kim Jong Un in his work said that leader Kim Jong Il was a peerless patriot who performed undying exploits to be recorded in the history of the country for all ages. Kim Jong Il warmly loved the country and the people more than anything else and devoted all his life to the prosperity of the country and happiness of the people, he added.

He went on to say:

Kim Jong Il's long journey of patriotic devotion undergoing arduous ordeals helped face-lift the country and laid the eternal foundation for a thriving nation.

His warm love for the socialist motherland and people and self-sacrificing devotion to the prosperity of the country and people's happiness are derived from his absolute trust in his own people and steadfast confidence in justice of the socialist system and victory of socialism.

His warm love and devotion are also prompted by his noble awareness and sense of mission that he was responsible for the destiny of the country and people whom President Kim Il Sung entrusted to him.

Patriotism that he had displayed is the noblest one which can be called after him only in the light of its essence and its tremendous vitality.

This patriotism constitutes the height of socialist patriotism.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is the warmest love for our socialist motherland and people and the most energetic and self-sacrificing devotion to the prosperity of the country and people's happiness. It is genuine patriotism as he loved every tree and every blade of grass of the country.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is based on the noble outlook on the country, people and posterity.

This patriotism is the precious mental legacy and practical example he left to the Korean people.

All the officials, party members and other working people should actively learn from noble patriotism of Kim Jong Il and embody it into practice just as it is.

They should faithfully carry forward and complete all the work Kim Jong Il had planned and tried to realize in his lifetime in order to materialize his idea and wishes in this land.

The greatest patriotism lies in defending the country. All the people should attach importance to the military affairs, sincerely learn them and devote their patriotism to the sacred war for defending the country if the enemy provokes.

Everyone should bravely turn out in the just struggle to achieve national reunification true to the noble patriotic idea of Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Un in the work set forth the tasks for party and working people's organizations and all the state-run bodies and social organizations to fulfill their responsibility and role in the work for learning from Kim Jong Il's patriotism and embodying it.

The country will emerge as a thriving socialist nation when the hot wind of learning from Kim Jong Il's patriotism prevails in the country and all the people fully embody it into practice, he stressed.
