The Great Yearning and Admiration for Kim Jong Il

Sazhi Umalatova, chairwoman of the Party for the Peace and Unity of Russia, was infinitely impressed with the warm love of Chairman Kim Jong Il.

She visited our country in February 1999 with the desire of meeting the Chairman and wishing him many happy returns on the occasion of his birthday (February 16, 1942).

But the Chairman was touring a province for firsthand guidance. It was impossible to know when he would return to Pyongyang. Umalatova was slated to stay there for four nights and five days.

Umalatova was very much afraid that she might not hit her trip target. At this juncture the Chairman telephoned the officials concerned by long distance to arrange for her and her party to fly to him by special plane.

When they arrived by special plane the Chairman greeted Umalatova with a warm handshake, thanking her for visiting our country again and saying that he was sorry for bringing her to a faraway place.

This played upon her heartstrings.

The Chairman talked with Umalatova and her party for a long time. He then proceeded to invite them to a dinner and personally helped her to dishes.

After the dinner the Chairman proposed to have a photograph taken with snow scenes for a background.

It was piercingly cold.

Considerate toward Umalatova and her party, the Chairman said that the more they huddled themselves, the more furiously the cold raged, and urged them to pose for a photograph.

That day Umalatova was deeply moved by the warm hospitality of the Chairman.

Afterwards, Umalatova said emphatically:

“All the members of the Party for the Peace and Unity of Russia warmly recall the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, yearning toward him. He was the father of the Korean people who always founded himself among them, advanced policies of their welfare and worked hard day and night to carry them out. He always lives in the hearts of not only the Korean people but also the progressive people of the world.”
