Kim Yong Nam delivered the meeting report. According to KCNA he said:
The revolutionary career of Kim Jong Il was the life of a great revolutionary and peerless patriot as he dedicated his all to the victory of the revolution and rosy future of the country like a blazing flame.
He experienced all sorts of difficulties and trials in the sternest test of the times and explored an untrodden path of the revolution with his iron will and superhuman energy.
He was a brilliant thinker and theoretician and eternal teacher of the army and people of the DPRK as he provided ideological and theoretical treasure for ensuring the permanent victory of the country and the revolution with his rare wisdom and scientific insight.
He was a peerlessly brilliant commander and genius of creation and construction as he provided a powerful military groundwork and strong economic foundation for the prosperity of the country and happiness of its people.
He turned the DPRK into the world’s military power and nuclear weapons state which no one dares provoke under the uplifted banner of So’ngun (military-first). This is the miracle unprecedented in the human history of politics and a great exploit in the nation’s history to shine for all ages.
He was an outstanding statesman who provided a firm political guarantee for the victorious advance of the revolutionary cause of Chuch’e and So’ngun.
It was the distinguished exploit performed by him that he settled most ideally and perfectly the issue of succession to the revolutionary cause, a pressing matter decisive of the destiny of the country and the revolution, as required by the desire of the people and the developing revolution.
He ushered in the June 15 era of reunification based on the idea of By Our Nation Itself by wisely leading all the fellow countrymen along the road of independent reunification and great national unity with immensely broad magnanimity, tolerance and noble patriotism.
He made an immortal contribution to strengthening the international position of the DPRK and increasing its influence, frustrating the war moves of the imperialists and defending peace in Asia and the rest of the world.
Kim Jong Il’s idea and cause and eternal treasure of the revolution provided by him are being successfully carried forward by supreme leader Kim Jong Un.
