The message said that the past five years since the Korean people bitterly grieved over the sudden loss of the sun of all people, the father of the nation whom they trusted and followed like Heaven were a sacred period in which they deeply grasped the noble personality of General Kim Jong Il as a great man and his immortal exploits and a stirring period in which they greeted a bright new era in the cause of immortalizing the great leaders under the guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

It went on:

The noble image and patriotic devotion of the peerless patriot, who reliably defended socialism centered on the popular masses and turned the DPRK into an invincible politico-ideological power and a world military power with his invincible Songun politics, are shining brilliantly in the history of the motherland and the nation.

His idea and cause are now being steadfastly carried forward by you and the history of the great Generalissimos as the sun is given steady continuity generation after generation, startling the world people.

On the high rostrum of the 7th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea you clarified the great Generalissimos' Juche-based line of reunification as the WPK's line for national reunification and showed a new path and strategy for accomplishing the cause of reunification strictly on the basis of the three charters for national reunification set forth by them. This is an event to be specially recorded in the history of the nation as it instilled courage and confidence in the future of reunified powerful nation into all the compatriots.

The Korean nation's struggle for independence, democracy and reunification is sure to triumph as the great Generalissimos are always alive as the sun of Juche and you show the road ahead of the fellow countrymen with bright rays of Songun, the message said.
