The chairman of the Mongolian Cultural and Research Center of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea said that Chairman Kim Jong Il who faithfully carried forward the leadership of President Kim Il Sung, the founder of the DPRK, formulated the revolutionary idea of the President as Kimilsungism and thoroughly applied it to the revolution and construction.
