The chairperson of the Iceland-DPRK Cultural and Friendly Society said that Kim Jong Il was a great revolutionary who dedicated his all to the prosperity of socialist Korea, reunification of the country and cause of global independence.
The chairperson of the Russian Association for the Study of the Juche Idea stressed that Kim Jong Il , at a time when the imperialists had reached an extreme in their moves to stifle the DPRK, put forward the People's Army as the main force of the revolution to work world-startling miracles in all fields of socialist construction.
