The statement said Kim Jong Il inspected Panmunjom, a very dangerous place, adding it showed his matchless grit, iron will to achieve national reunification and ardent patriotism.

He visited the monument inscribed with President Kim Il Sung's signature and renewed his will to terminate the nation's division and surely accomplish the country's reunification, the cherished desire of the Korean people in the north and the south and overseas, the statement noted.

His inspection of the Panmunjom Mission was a great historical event which demonstrated his will to achieve reunification, it noted, adding:

The inspection struck terror into the hearts of the U.S. imperialists and their stooges.

The news of Supreme Commander of the KPA Kim Jong Un's visit to Panmunjom in March last year convinced all Koreans of reunification and threw the U.S. imperialists and their followers into uneasiness.

Under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un the Korean people will surely accomplish the reunification of the country before long true to the behest of Kim Jong Il.
