The Guinean Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Association edited an article titled "Birth of Kimjongilia".

The article said that Mototeru Kamo, a horticulturist of Japan, named the beautiful and marvelous flower which he bred through laborious research and efforts for more than 20 years Kimjongilia and presented it to Kim Jong Il.

The article went on:

The flower takes after the personality Kim Jong Il as a great man, a significance and value of Kimjongilia as a flower.

Kimjongilia is, indeed, the flower of the great man in the true sense of the word, which is remarkable from its color to its leaves and stems.

The Mexican Institute for the Study of the Juche Idea carried an article introducing Mt. Paektu, the sacred mountain of the Korean revolution, under the title of "Comrade Kim Jong Il and Mt. Paektu".
