He went on:

Kim Jong Il endowed with extraordinary ideo-theoretical wisdom conducted energetic activities, formulating the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung as the integral system of idea, theory and method of Juche.

He developed the Workers' Party Korea into an ever-victorious guiding force and consolidated the DPRK to be an invincible socialist state and turned the Korean People's Army into a matchless army.

The immortal exploits he made by dedicating all his life will always remain the most precious heritages guaranteeing the accomplishment of the socialist cause in the DPRK and human cause of independence.
