Comrade Kim Jong Il, eternal general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, dedicated himself to translating the noble intention of President Kim Il Sung into reality and bringing earlier the bright future of Korea all his life.

Such many gigantic undertakings for the bright future of the country as the satellite manufacture and launch entirely with its own indigenous efforts and technology, large-scale land realignment, project for laying gravity-fed waterway, work for turning the country into a thick woodland and greenery, construction of many power stations, factories which can serve as icons in the age of knowledge-based economy, the world's leading fruit production bases and the development of scenic spots including Mt. Kuwol, Mt. Chilbo and Ryongmun Cavern were carried out thanks to the iron will and wise guidance of Kim Jong Il.

He found the greatest honor, happiness and joy in devoting himself to the country and its people. He provided ceaseless field guidance day and night, having a short and uncomfortable sleep and taking a rice ball as his meal in train and car.

The venerable image of Kim Jong Il who devoted his all to the bright future of the country and its people will always be remembered not only by the Korean people but by the world progressives.
