Kim Jong Il rose as the shining star over Mt. Paektu. It was a great fortune of the nation which promised a rosy future of Juche Korea and an event which opened the bright prospect of the human cause of independence.

Kim Jong Il demonstrated the dignity of the socialist country and performed the undying exploits on behalf of the era and history with intense loyalty to President Kim Il Sung and ardent love and patriotic devotion to the country and its people.

The revolutionary career of Kim Jong Il is a heroic epic of a peerlessly brilliant commander of Songun and matchless patriot who consolidated the defence capabilities of the country in every way and firmly defended socialism, holding aloft the banner of Songun.

They said that all the agricultural workers should hold Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the eternal leader of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean revolution and thoroughly carry out his behests.
