The chairperson of the foundation said that Kim Jong Il was a great leader and a great man who dedicated all his life to the prosperity of the country and the cause of global independence.

Kim Jong Il is always remembered in the hearts of not only the Korean people but all other progressive people, she noted.

She was convinced that the Korean people would surely build a thriving socialist nation desired by President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il under the guidance of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

Kim Jong Un, who is possessed of modest and unassuming personality and strong will and faith, will carry forward the idea and cause of Kim Jong Il and accomplish without fail the revolutionary cause of Juche started by Kim Il Sung, he added.
