Songchit Pullarp, chairman of the Organization for the Study of the Juche Idea of Thailand, said that though Kim Jong Il passed away, the exploits and precious heritage he left to the Korean people and humankind would be immortal.

He noted that Marshal Kim Jong Un made sure that Kim Jong Il is held in high esteem as eternal general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, and has energetically led the Korean people to ensure that the Juche idea and the Songun idea shine as Kimilsungism- Kimjongilism.

He stressed that the cause of Kim Jong Il would be successfully carried forward under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.

Chanai Longoen, chairman of the Thailand-DPRK Friendship Association, said that history records a lot of leaders but none of them passed away while giving field guidance for the happiness of the people as Kim Jong Il did.

The tradition of the Korean revolution is given steady continuity and only victory and glory are in store for the Korean people as they hold Marshal Kim Jong Un in high esteem as the supreme commander of the KPA, he stressed.
