He said when meeting with the DPRK ambassador to his country on January 10:

Kim Jong Un's historic New Year Address startled the world.

It is a precious document as it indicates the orientation and ways to be held fast to by the Korean people in the revolutionary struggle and construction.

It is the great honor and pride for the Korean people to have Kim Jong Un at the top posts of the party, state and army as he is steadfastly carrying forward the revolutionary cause of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

Sure is the victory of the Korean people in their revolutionary cause thanks to the outstanding and tested leadership of Kim Jong Un.

The orientation and ways for achieving Korea's reunification set forth by Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address are fundamental guidelines to be held fast to by all Koreans in the struggle for achieving the cause of reunification.

I am sure that the Korean people will achieve great success in building an economic power and accomplishing the cause of national reunification this year under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.
