Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people, was the iron-willed commander who provided the powerful nuclear deterrent with his rare courage and pluck.

He dispatched doctors and technicians of the DPRK to Damaturu City to greatly contribute to the improvement of its citizens' health and set a good example of South-South cooperation in various fields including education, agriculture and construction.
