The statement said:

Generalissimo Kim Jong Il pursued the Songun politics in an overall way at the end of the last century when socialist Korea met the worst trial, and strengthened the KPA into an invincible army through his ceaseless military inspection.

His Songun leadership exploits will shine long with prosperity of the DPRK.

History knows many women famed for their contributions to the progress and prosperity of their countries and nations, but there has been no prominent political activist like Kim Jong Suk, revered by the Korean people as the anti-Japanese war heroine, who dedicated her all to the people's freedom and happiness.

We pay high tribute to her who made immortal contributions to Korea's liberation and building of a new country.

Marshal Kim Jong Un, who is creditably carrying forward the revolutionary cause of the preceding leaders, has firmly defended peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world, resolutely smashing every challenge of the U.S. and other hostile forces.

He made sure that a fresh line of simultaneously developing the two fronts has been invariably implemented and thus brought about a radical turn in the DPRK's strategic position and enhanced the country's political and military might in every way.

That's why all the Korean people are upholding his leadership in a single mind, absolutely trusting and following him.
