The following happened when President Kim Il Sung paid an official goodwill visit to the former Soviet Union in Juche 38 (1949).

Stalin’s trust in and respect for Kim Il Sung on a visit to his country were extraordinary and sincere.

He hosted a grand banquet in honour of Kim Il Sung and made a toast overflowing with friendship in reflection of the minds of all the Soviet people.

In his speech, he highly praised Kim Il Sung , who had found and led the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army which played the leading role in the arduous struggle against the Japanese imperialists for a protracted period, as a genuine internationalist and a model of communist who had fought with arms to defend the Soviet Union at the cost of blood from the invasion of imperialism in the East. Noting that his country could build socialism under the current peaceful situation thanks to the struggle of genuine communists like Kim Il Sung , he proposed expressing thanks to him with applause.

The moment, thunderous applause resounded through the banquet hall.
