Mauro Cazadio, general secretary of the Struggle for the Peace and Socialism of Italy, said that
Kim Il Sung embarked on the road of revolution in his teens to liberate the country occupied by the Japanese imperialists and built a socialist power, independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence, in Korea.

Jose Gil de Almeida, president of the Brazilian Committee of Solidarity with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, said that whenever looking up to the image of smiling Kim Il Sung they can not repress reverence for the people's leader who devoted all his life to the people.

Martin Lotscher, chairman of the Switzerland-Korea Committee, noted that Kim Jong Il successfully realized the cause of perpetuating the memory of the President and turned the DPRK into a political and ideological and military power and is wisely leading the Korean people's cause of national reunification.
