Kim Jong-un’s statements

Message of greetings to the President of the Syrian Arab Republic
Message of thanks. To all the service personnel and people who deeply mourned the death of the great leader Kim Jong Il. In: “Pyongyang Times,” Saturday, March 31, Juche 101 (2012), pp. 1–2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.76.237.224 (talk) 07:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a really notable event. If you've ever read KCNA, various delegates send "messages of thanks/support/reverence/whatever" to Kim Jong-il all the time when he was alive. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 09:21, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Already done, duplicate request. --Tyrannus Mundi (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect

It is believed that the student at the Gümligen “International School” was not Kim Jong-un but his elder brother Kim Jong-chol. It is not known whether the student known as Pak-un in “Liebefeld Steinhölzli” lived in Switzerland prior to 1998.[31]
