Jo Il Min, chief of the Pyongyang mission of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front (AINDF), said this when interviewed by KCNA Saturday.

He went on:

It was an unshakable creed of Kim Jong Il that unity should be achieved with those who love the homeland and nation and have national conscience irrespective of ideology so as to achieve the national reunification.

He put forward those who rendered devotion for the reunification movement to stand on a platform of honor and highly praised them.

Thanks to his firm will for reunification, patriotic and courageous decision and broad magnanimity, the June 15 era of reunification could be opened up on this land.

As great the feats he performed for the country and nation were, boundless reverence for him pervaded south Korea for a year.

Various publications and media in south Korea didn't spare their spaces and screens to carry the news on his greatness, carrying his smiling portraits and photos.

His august name and beaming image will remain deeper in the hearts of the people in south Korea as the days go by.

It is because there is the dear respected Kim Jong Un that all the compatriots decisively stood up, overcoming their grief over the greatest loss to the nation.

It is the greatest fortune of the Korean nation that it holds in high esteem another brilliant commander who inherited the bloodline of the Mangyongdae family.

The vanguard fighters of AINDF and patriotic people will make greater efforts for the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration with the conviction that the cause of national reunification will be surely achieved as they are led by Marshal Kim Jong Un.
