It is a gift presented to President Kim Il Sung by Indira Gandhi, the former Indian prime minister in October Juche 69 (1980).

In May 1980, she was met by the President for the first time and received teachings from him. And within a few months since her return, she presented her three autograph letters to the President and received more teachings from him.
