Pyongyang, July 8 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung is the peerlessly elder statesman who made a great contribution to the human cause of independence through his energetic external activities.
In his lifetime the President met with a total of 70 000-odd personages of 136 countries.
What touched all people in particular were his external activities conducted in Juche 83 (1994), the last year of his life.
In April alone of that year, he met many foreign delegations and personages and diplomatic envoys of different countries to the DPRK and gave them precious teachings to be served as guidelines in advancing the popular masses' cause of independence and the world revolution. They included a cultural delegation of China, a delegation of the Communist Party of Vietnam, a delegation of the National Democratic Congress of Ghana, a delegation of the Kazakhstan Socialist Party, a delegation of the Irish Workers' Party, a group of Pyongyang-visitors involving ex-heads of state and government and politicians from various countries, the head of a folklore song and dance group of Russia, the head of the Prensa Latina News Agency of Cuba and his party, the director-general of the International Institute of the Juche Idea and the general secretary of the World Federation of Trade Unions.
From mid-June, he had interviews with foreign delegations and personages on 18 occasions and stressed that all countries should respect and cooperate with each other on the principle of international justice and equality and make concerted efforts for co-prosperity of mankind in keeping with the trend of the present times toward independence.
Those foreigners honored with the audience of the President are praising his immortal feats for the global peace and the human cause of independence. -0-
