He said that the Day of the Shining Star is the birth anniversary of the sun which enabled the Korean nation to be blessed with the illustrious leaders generation after generation and the day when all Koreans miss Generalissimo Kim Jong Il very much.

He went on:

Kim Jong Il, who was born as the son of guerillas in Mt. Paektu, the holy mountain of revolution, and grew up to be a great revolutionary, nurtured the grandiose intention to glorify the DPRK before the world in his early years.

He made ceaseless long journeys of Songun to usher in a golden age in achieving the country's prosperity with his outstanding political caliber and rare leadership art.

Thanks to his tireless and energetic leadership, our homeland could firmly defend socialism despite the hostile forces' vicious and persistent moves to stifle the DPRK and make a leap forward toward a thriving nation and fully demonstrate its dignity and might as a political and military power, satellite manufacturer and launcher.

Noting that the solid foundations provided by Kim Jong Il, a peerlessly great man, with his tireless efforts and wisdom firmly guarantee the victorious advance and eternal prosperity of Kim Il Sung's Korea.

Kim Jong Il's lifelong intention and desire are becoming a stirring reality under the wise leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un.
