The statement said:

June 19, 1964 is a significant day when HE Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people, started his work at the WPK Central Committee.

Greeting the day, the progressive political parties and personages of Bangladesh are recollecting with deep emotion the exploits the peerlessly great man performed in the development of the WPK.

Thanks to HE Kim Jong Il, the WPK could hold fast to the Juche idea of President Kim Il Sung, its founder, as its steadfast guiding idea.

When the world socialist movement went through turns and twists, the WPK firmly consolidated its organizational and ideological unity and cohesion centred on the leader, defending and adding shine to the leader's cause of party building. It would have been unthinkable without the leadership of HE Kim Jong Il.
