The statement said:

President Kim Il Sung founded the DPRK, enabling the Korean people to emerge the most independent and creative people in the world.

The DPRK achieved a single-minded unity and turned into a powerful country possessed of nuclear deterrent under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people, is wisely leading them in the building of a thriving nation and the cause of national reunification by carrying forward the idea and cause of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

The progressive people all over the world support Kim Jong Un's steadfast will and stand to more firmly defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country from all hostile moves of enemies against the DPRK.

The Korean people under the leadership of Kim Jong Un are dynamically advancing for building a thriving nation and accomplishing the cause of national reunification along the road indicated by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

I extend firm solidarity to the WPK and the Korean people in their just struggle, wishing Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the Korean people, good health and happiness.
