Boundless praise and reverence for Kim Jong Il prevail across the country on this morning when the dawn in February is breaking over Jong Il Peak.

The people in south Korea are praying for his immortality in humblest reverence, recollecting with deep emotion his whole life.

Chairman of the National Defence Commission Kim Jong Il performed undying feats on behalf of the era and history all his revolutionary life.

The most brilliant feat he performed was that he most successfully settled the issue of succession to the leadership.

The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is standing in the van of the Korean nation. He is identical to Kim Jong Il in idea, leadership and traits.

It is the greatest fortune and privilege of the nation to hold Kim Jong Un as the supreme leader.

Everything Kim Jong Il planned and desired is being translated into brilliant reality thanks to the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.

The matchless pluck and grit of Kim Jong Un is guaranteeing the dignity and sovereignty of the nation and exciting the world people.

The cause of the revolutionary cause of Juche and the cause of building a reunified thriving country will be achieved without fail thanks to Kim Jong Un.

The vanguard fighters of the AINDF and patriotic people will wage a dynamic struggle to accomplish the behests of Kim Jong Il and the noble intention of Kim Jong Un.
