The message said that Kim Jong Il was born on February 16, Juche 31 (1942) as the Shining Star on Mt. Paektu and this was a great auspicious event in the history of the nation as it guaranteed the carrying forward of the revolutionary cause of Juche and the rosy future of Kim Il Sung's Korea, and it was also a world historic event which opened up a bright prospect for the era of independence.

The sacred life of Kim Jong Il is brilliantly shining as glorious and heroic epic of the peerless patriot and great man who weathered grave storms of the revolution and created the ever-victorious history of the cause of Juche, the cause of Songun revolution, and laid the strong foundation for prosperity of the nation while steering the era and history by tightly holding the helm, the message said, and went on:

During all his revolutionary life Kim Jong Il worked heart and soul in the revolutionary spirit of Mt. Paektu and thus performed undying exploits for the country and the nation, era and history. He will always live in the hearts of all Koreans and other progressive peoples as the eternal image of the great Paektusan nation.

The cause of the Juche revolution that started on Mt. Paektu has greeted an era of fresh leaping progress thanks to Marshal Kim Jong Un, another peerless great man of our nation.

The victory of the Korean people for independence, democracy and national reunification is inevitable and the day when all Koreans will live in a reunified, dignified and prosperous powerful country will surely come as there are precious patriotic legacy for reunification bequeathed by President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu, and the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
