Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- The immortal revolutionary hymn "Song of General Kim Il Sung " sung by artistes of different countries is resounding at the stages of the 34th April Spring Friendship Art Festival.
Watching art performances which reflected boundless reverence for President Kim Il Sung , the Korean people and the world progressives are recollecting with deep emotion the immortal exploits the President performed for the times and the revolution and for the human cause of independence.
The President founded the Juche idea and put forward the oppressed and maltreated popular masses as the masters of history and led them to hew out their destiny by their own efforts, at the centre of the times and history.
In October 1972 the President met a friendly government delegation of Burkina Faso on a visit to the DPRK. He told its members that they should increase their economic strength in order to defend their political independence, and if they worship big countries and depend on them, they will have an idea that their own things are bad and the others' things are good.
Hearing the teachings given by the President, the members of the delegation cherished the truth that independence in politics can be realized only through self-support in the economy.
The members of a Guinean party and government delegation, who met the President, came to know the truth of independence while hearing his teachings.
Whenever he met many personages of political and public circles around the world who visited the DPRK, the President said that to maintain independence in the party and state activities is the most just policy that meets the requirements of the present era and that all the matters arising in the revolutionary struggle should be solved in conformity with the actual conditions of their countries by relying on the efforts of their people.
Indeed, President Kim Il Sung is a peerless sage who devoted his all to accomplishing the human cause of independence under the uplifted banner of independence all his life. -0-
