Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung is still now praised by the world progressives as an outstanding leader and standard-bearer of the cause of global independence.
The President indicated the way for the popular masses to carve out their own destiny independently by creating the immortal Juche idea as well as the strategies and tasks for making the whole world independent to lead the global revolution to victory.
He advanced the unique idea and theory on global independence in his policy speech made at a joint meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly in April Juche 71 (1982). He clarified the features of the independent world, saying that it is a world free from all sorts of dominationism and colonialism, a world in which the sovereignty of all countries and nations is completely ensured.
In the period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, he wisely guided the work to defend socialism, the core force for anti-imperialism, and led the world revolutionaries, progressives and youth and students along the road of global independence.
In his congratulatory speech at an opening ceremony of the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students in July of 1989, he stressed that the cause of humankind for building an independent new world could emerge victorious only through struggle against the old forces blocking the advance of history. And he called upon the youth and students to be fighters in the struggle against the reactionaries of history and forerunners of the times in the cause of building an independent new world.
At a Latin American regional seminar on the Juche idea, an Ecuadorian personage said that President Kim Il Sung's great exploits for the global revolution served as a source of the inexhaustible strength of humankind struggling for justice and progress.
That's why the world people are now calling the 20th century "Kim Il Sung's century".
