The statement said that Kim Il Sung fought against foreign aggressors for a long time, winning the independence of the country and performed immortal exploits while leading the Korean revolution till the last moments of his life.

He founded the Juche idea, it noted, and went on:

He smashed the continuous military provocations of the south Korean puppet army backed by the U.S. after the liberation of Korea and led the three year-long Fatherland Liberation War to victory.

Everything was broken due to the war provoked by the U.S. imperialists but the DPRK determinedly rose to build powerful economy and developed into an independent and highly civilized country without illiterates and jobless people.

In recent years the DPRK took its full position in the field of the ultra-modern technology despite severe natural disasters that hit the country in succession. It made great progress in the fields of media and arts.

Kim Il Sung devoted all his life to accomplishing the independence of Korea and its independent and peaceful reunification.

The DPRK which was founded by him is a free country and its people are a wise and highly civilized people.

Free medical care and free education are being enforced in the DPRK and its entire people are provided dwelling houses by the state free of charge.

The exploits he performed for humankind will be immortal.
