Hannu Harju, chairman of the For Peace and Socialism-the Communist Worker's Party of Finland, said his visit to the museum provided him with a good opportunity to know in what a unique manner the great leader Kim Il Sung founded the party despite ordeals and difficulties, while waging a life-and-death struggle, and how wisely he led the party building.
Paulo Eduardo, representative of the October 8 Revolutionary Movement of Brazil, wrote in the visitor's book that the experience gained by the WPK in its struggle under the guidance of the respected leader Kim Il Sung clearly proved that when a party awakens and organizes the masses, it can win great victory despite whatever difficulties.
Anders Karlsson, head of the delegation of the Communist Party of KPML (R) in Sweden, noted that the great successes made by the Korean people in socialist construction under the leadership of the WPK instill confidence in future and great strength into them.

At the ceremony the Korean ambassador to Peru conveyed famous works of the President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il and other Korean books to the chairman of the front .
The chairman said that Kim Jong Il's works will serve as an incomparably valuable textbook and a guideline of struggle in arming the leading officials of the front and its members and Peruvian people with the socialist idea and strengthening his party.
Kim Jong Il is a genius of ideology and theory, an ever-victorious military strategist, a peerless patriot and a lodestar of Korea's reunification, he stressed.
Kim Jong Il's exploits praised
Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Prof. and Dr. Kurt Ebert, director of the international politics institute of the University of Innsbruck of Austria who is also director of the board of the International Institute of the Juche Idea, released a statement on June 15 on the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the great leader Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Worker's Party of Korea.
Exploits of Kim Jong Il are praised by the international community, he noted, and went on:
I, as an intellectual of Europe specializing in the study of philosophy and state politics, give a great deal of thought to Kim Jong Il's idea of love for the country, people and nation.
Conception of a country, people and nation is abused and trampled down by the ruling circles in not a few countries.
Kim Jong Il's famous work "On Preserving the Juche Character and National Character of the Revolution and Construction" is a textbook that taught the European intellectuals to inform the people of a correct viewpoint on the country, the people and the nation with a correct understanding of the Juche character and national character so that they may perform their mission before the times.
I will do my best to introduce the Juche philosophy and the DPRK where its ideas has become a reality.

Rodong Sinmun on federal formula
Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Korea must be reunified through federal formula based on the conception of one nation, one state, two systems and two governments on the principle of allowing no one side to swallow up the other side or being swallowed up, says Rodong Sinmun in a signed article today.
The proposal for reunification by federal formula calls for achieving the country's reunification by leaving the differing systems and governments existing in the north and the south as they are and building a unified national state, the article says, and goes on:
Though there is heterogeneity related to the two differing systems in the north and the south which have lasted for 55 years, the two systems can surely co-exist within the framework of the one nation and one unified state if based on the commonness of the nation which has been formed and consolidated for thousands of years.
The issue of unifying the differing systems in the north and the south as one may be left to posterity to settle it slowly in future. But the issue of building a unified state as one nation, transcending difference in ideologies and systems, is the supreme task of the nation whose fulfillment brooks no further delay.
History proves that Korea cannot be reunified by means of conquering the other side. In other words, its reunification allows neither war nor a peaceful method that involves this process.
Reunifying the country through federal formula based on the conception of one nation, one state, two systems and two governments is the great principle of achieving national reunification in keeping with the specific conditions of Korea.
The principle is applied to the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo (DFRK) advanced by the great leader Kim Il Sung.
The proposal for founding the DFRK is the most realistic and reasonable, fair and aboveboard proposal for reunification acceptable to anyone who loves the country and the nation and truly wants reunification.
If the country is reunified by federal formula, the north and the south will realize the nation's cherished desire for reunification with their interests not being encroached upon, and will demonstrate to the world the resourceful and proud image of the reunified nation.
Japan's arms buildup for overseas aggression flayed
Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Recently the Japan Defence Agency unveiled its plan to deploy from 2011 new type anti-submarine pursuit and attack patrol planes to modernize the Maritime "Self-Defence Force" and increase its combat efficiency.
Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says:
The Japan defence agency plans to replace patrol planes P-3C with which the Maritime "SDF" is now equipped by jet patrols with more rapid speed and a wider operation radius.
It intends to allocate about 250 billion yen for starting their development from 2001.
In recent years the Japanese reactionaries have escalated arms buildup under the pretext of "coping with emergencies in areas surrounding Japan" and Japan's "security".
The "SDF" has been rapidly beefed up through the introduction of aegis, large transport ships, large submarines and destroyers, etc. This is aimed to build armed forces for attack, with a main emphasis put on realizing their strategy for overseas aggression.
The Japanese reactionaries are describing the build-up of their armed forces for attack as "defensive" but there is no country which threatens Japan. Japan is under strong "protection" by its ally. The former soviet union which was a potential "threat" to Japan in the Cold War era collapsed and Japan is looking forward to the signing of a "peace agreement" with Russia.
The Japanese reactionaries are stepping up the modernization of their armed forces to round off the preparations for their overseas aggression, not to cope with any "military threat". Such moves are a factor of destabilizing the situation in Asia as a whole including northeast Asia.
The rumour about "threat" from the DPRK spread by them and their madcap drill of "pursuing unidentified ships" are a prelude to their attack on the DPRK.
Japan still remains the DPRK's dangerous enemy and aggression forces against it as it is keen on the reconquest of Korea.
History proves that aggressors are bound to meet a miserable doom.
The Japanese reactionaries are well advised not to act rashly, mindful that they will meet the same miserable end while getting overheated with reinvasion of Korea.
