In the interview the chief said that the whole life of leader Kim Jong Il is a history of devotion by the peerless patriot who opened a great chapter in the history of national reunification movement, adding:

Koreans at home and abroad remember the venerable image of Kim Jong Il inking the reunification declaration that made a breakthrough in putting an end to the 55-year-long history of confrontation and antagonism.

The June 15 joint declaration is a precious fruit of his idea and line of independent reunification and outstanding and seasoned leadership.

A new milestone of independent reunification is shining in the path ahead of our fellow countrymen as a beacon.

Kim Jong Un, respected chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, opened up an epoch-making phase in the development of the inter-Korean relations in the historic place Panmunjom, shouldering the destiny of the country and nation on himself.

The Panmunjom Declaration is a programme of independent reunification in a new era of history, the era of Kim Jong Un, which inherited the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration provided by Kim Jong Il.

Thanks to the great sun illumining the 3,000-ri land of Korea, the future of the 80 million fellow countrymen is rosy and a reunified powerful country is sure to emerge.

The AINDF vanguard fighters and patriotic people from all walks of life will turn out to make a new history of peace, prosperity and reunification under the banner of the Panmunjom Declaration.
