The statement said:

HE Kim Jong Il wisely led the popular masses, the master of revolution and construction, with the Juche idea as the guideline.

All the successes made by the Korean people proved the greatness of his leadership and the scientific accuracy and validity of the Juche idea and confirmed that a country is sure to emerge victorious when it creatively settles all the issues arising in its revolution and construction from an independent stand and in conformity with its specific conditions.

The Workers' Party and people of DR Congo are admiring the DPRK as it is winning victories only by firmly adhering to the principle of independence in politics, self-support in economy and self-reliance in national defence.

We highly praise the great exploits HE Kim Jong Il performed by achieving the unity and cohesion of the leader, the party and masses.

Thanks to the leadership of the respected HE Kim Jong Un, the idea and cause of HE Kim Jong Il will last forever along with history.
