Kim Jong Il's assumption of supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army (KPA) and the 91st birth anniversary of anti-Japanese war hero Kim Jong Suk.

Vasile Orleanu, chairman of the Supreme Council of the Socialist Party of Romania and chairman of the National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea of Romania, stressed at the round-table talk that Kim Jong Suk, mother of Korea, performed great merits by participating in the anti-Japanese armed struggle as the closest comrade-in-arms of President Kim Il Sung.

The director of an Indonesian company said at a lecture that guided by Supreme Commander
Kim Jong Il, the KPA has grown up to be an invincible army able to fight square against the U.S. styling itself the "only superpower" and creditably discharged its mission and role as the driving force in carrying out the cause of socialism.

Malik Souma, director general of the Kim Il Sung Institute of Agricultural Science in Guinea, said at a lecture that there have been many great persons praised as Amazon in history, but it is hard to find such heroine as Kim Jong Suk who had fought bloody battles, risking her life with arms in her hands for many years.

The exploits performed by Kim Jong Suk in the course of the struggle for the liberation of the country and freedom of the people will remain forever in the history of the Korean nation with the titles of "woman commander of Mt. Paektu" and "legendary anti-Japanese war woman commander", he stressed.
