The statement said:

Kim Il Sung was the father of socialist Korea and the most distinguished leader of the people as he dedicated all his life to the country and its people, times and humankind.

He is always alive in the hearts of the close Korean people and progressive mankind.

World progressives will never forget Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, the greatest heroes who won victory in the struggle against colonialism and imperialist forces, but praise them through generations.

Marshal Kim Jong Un steering the Korean people is creditably carrying forward the ideas and exploits of the President and Kim Jong Il without an inch of deflection.

Under the guidance of Kim Jong Un the Korean people will surely accomplish the socialist cause.

We fully support the Korean people in their struggle for the reunification and prosperity of the country.
