He said:

Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK Kim Jong Il saw to it that the north-south joint declarations were made public to pave the wide avenue for independent and peaceful reunification of Korea.

The special exploit of Kim Jong Il was that he embodied patriotism. He was a peerless patriot who made the people of the DPRK ardently love things their own, and his patriotism was based on the Juche idea.

It is the great exploit that he scientifically systemized the Juche idea created by President Kim Il Sung.

He turned the DPRK into a political and ideological power and military power and decisively defeated the U.S. imperialists' moves for aggression by pursuing Songun politics.

He saw to it that the DPRK had access to nuclear deterrence and put the dignity of the nation on the highest stage. Indeed, NDC Chairman Kim Jong Il performed undying great exploits.

The Korean nation will surely win victory when it advances along the way indicated by Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in the future, too.
