Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- An online seminar took place in Russia on August 3 to mark the 20th anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il 's historic visit to the Far Eastern Region of the Russian Federation.
Speeches were made at the event attended by Russian personages and citizens.

The great Comrade Kim Jong Il paid three visits to Russia in the new century.
I mark the days when he visited Russia in August every year.
Comrade Kim Jong Il paid deep attention to developing friendly relations between Russia and the DPRK and made great achievements.
Thanks to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , a successor to his cause, and President Putin, the relations of friendship between Russia and the DPRK have now reached a new strategic height.

The great Comrade Kim Jong Il had talks with President Putin a couple of times.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un had a meaningful meeting and significant talks with President Putin in Vladivostok City in April 25, 2019.

Those who were received by Comrade Kim Jong Il were all impressed by his noble humanity, warm love for the people and profound insight.
All the thoughts and activities of the respected Comrade
Kim Jong Un identical to Comrade Kim Jong Il are associated with the people.
