Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un,

I extend my wholehearted congratulations to you on the occasion of the Day of the Shining Star, the national holiday, the birth anniversary of the great leader of the DPRK Comrade Kim Jong Il.

This holiday evokes memories of the whole life of Comrade Kim Jong Il who performed great feats for socialist construction in the DPRK by carrying forward the cause of Generalissimo Kim Il Sung, the founder of the DPRK.
