Songchit Pullarp, chairman of the Organization for the Study of the Juche Idea of Thailand, said that thanks to the energetic and tireless leadership of HE Kim Jong Il, socialist fairylands appeared and a great number of modern production centers were built in different parts of Korea to contribute to improving the people's standard of living.

HE Kim Jong Il made a great contribution to the country's reunification and global independence, the chairman noted, adding:

The exploits he performed for the Korean revolution and world revolution are great, indeed.

Thanks to respected HE Kim Jong Un, who is creditably carrying forward the idea and cause of the great HE Kim Jong Il, the Korean people will surely build a powerful socialist nation.
