Davaadorj Begz, director of the Institute for Strategic Studies who is chairman of the Mongolian Association for the Study of Juche Idea-Songun, delivered an opening address at the seminar. Then a member of the association and the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Mongolian Centre for the Study of Juche made speeches on the themes of "Juche idea in the world and Mongolia" and "On the Songun politics."

Speakers said that the Juche idea which was founded by President Kim Il Sung and is being developed in depth by General Secretary Kim Jong Il serves not only as a guiding idea of the DPRK but as a banner indicating the road of independent development and prosperity of Mongolia and the rest of the world.

Noting that the Juche idea serves as a guiding principle for the struggle of all the countries and nations and the peoples of the developing countries, in particular, for protecting independence and sovereignty, happiness and prosperity, they stressed that this was clearly proved in the reality of the DPRK. They explained and proved this fact in detail.

The Songun politics being pursued by Kim Jong Il is, indeed, patriotic politics guaranteeing each country's security and independent development, they noted. They praised the DPRK for having firmly protected its dignity with Songun politics despite the imperialists' persistent moves to stifle it and made a contribution to the peace and security in Northeast Asia and, furthermore, to the global peace and security.

The chairman of the association in his closing address underscored the need to further intensify the activities for studying and disseminating the Juche idea, the Songun idea in the run-up to the centenary of birth of Kim Il Sung.
