The statement said:

We formed the committee for remembering the President to look back with deep emotion upon his revolutionary career and immortal feats and glorify them forever on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his demise.

Comrade Kim Il Sung was the great leader in the 20th century who founded the immortal Juche idea and brilliantly applied it to practice.

He defeated the U.S. and Japanese imperialism in one generation, defended the sovereignty and independence of Korea and the global peace and security and built socialism centred on the popular masses in the DPRK where anyone fully enjoys an equal and happy life.

The progressive people loving justice and peace are longing for him who greatly contributed to socialist construction in Korea and the cause of global independence and regarding it their moral duty and honor to glorify his feats forever.

We fully support the peaceful reunification of Korea and are convinced that we will always express support and solidarity for the just cause of the Korean people on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his demise.
