Garib Newaz, president of the Bangladesh People's League, in a statement issued on Feb. 4 on the occasion of the birthday of Kim Jong Il said that the DPRK is winning one victory after another and ushering in a new heyday, remaining undeterred by any challenge of the imperialists and manifold trials as it is led by Kim Jong Il.

Recalling that Kim Jong Il has developed Kim Il Sung's dignified Korea into an invincible socialist fortress, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence, and wisely led the human cause of independence against imperialism and of world peace with his great Juche idea and outstanding Songun politics, the statement stressed that his undying exploits will remain shining forever.

The chairman of the Mfumalanga Provincial Committee of the South African Communist Party in a statement issued on Feb. 10 noted that Kim Jong Il's leadership is the greatest guidance in the world history of politics and his feats are the great exploits performed by the outstanding leader guiding the struggle of not only the Korean people but humankind for achieving global independence against imperialism.

He expressed firm belief that the DPRK's cause of socialism and human cause of independence against imperialism are sure to triumph thanks to the leadership of Kim Jong Il.
