He said:

The world progressives are recollecting once again the immortal exploits performed by HE Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people, in making the Korean revolution and accomplishing the global cause of independence on the occasion of the 6th anniversary of his demise.

HE Kim Jong Il achieved the great exploits guaranteeing the eternal foundation of socialist Korea and its rosy future.

Thanks to him, the Juche idea and Songun idea are shining as the great guiding idea in the era of independence.

He turned the Workers' Party of Korea into the ever-victorious guiding force, the DPRK into the invincible socialist state, the Korean People's Army into the matchless one and the whole society into a large family with his politics of love and trust.

The DPRK has provided the firm foundation capable of adhering to and dynamically advancing socialism despite the raging wind of history.

His exploits will always be cherished in the hearts of the Korean people and world progressives.
