All the people across the DPRK are most reverently honouring the memory of Chairman Kim Jong Il, missing him more greatly with the passage of time, on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of demise of the leader, who dedicated his whole life to the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche holding aloft the red flag of Paektu.

 Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun on December 17.

 Accompanying him were Kim Tok Hun, Jo Yong Won, Choe Ryong Hae and Ri Pyong Chol, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, other senior officials of the Party and the government, officials of the WPK Central Committee, leading officials of commissions and ministries and commanding officers of the armed forces organs.

 The Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, where the eternal leaders of our dignified Party, state and people lie in state, was wrapped in a solemnest atmosphere.

 A flower basket in the name of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was laid before the statues of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il.

 Also laid were the flower baskets in the name of the WPK Central Committee, the DPRK State Affairs Commission, the Standing Committee of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly and the DPRK Cabinet.

 Kim Jong Un, together with other visitors, made a bow before the statues.

 At the hall, where the Chairman lies in state, he paid high tribute to the Chairman, praying for his immortality.

 All the visitors made a firm pledge to add eternal lustre to the new chapter of comprehensive development of the state by steadily bringing about epoch-making transformations and rejuvenation on all fronts of socialist construction, upholding single-mindedly the ideology and guidance of Kim Jong Un with pure loyalty.
