Kim Il Sung was a great revolutionary and a peerless patriot as he formed the Down-with-Imperialism Union in his teens and clearly indicated the path of the Korean revolution and organized the armed struggle to provide the Korean people with freedom and independence.

The President built the DPRK into a socialist industrial state, holding high the banner of independence, self-support and self-reliant defence and had worked heart and soul for the independent and peaceful reunification of the country till the last moments of his life, the speaker stressed.

The chairman of the Switzerland-Korea Committee noted with high appreciation that the President devoted his all to the happiness of the people, prosperity of the country and reunification of Korea.

The chairman of the Sweden-Korea Friendship Association praised Kim Il Sung as the great leader whom the Korean people acclaimed for the first time in the nation's history spanning thousands of years and expressed belief that the Korean people's cause of building a great prosperous and powerful nation, the behests of the President, would surely emerge victorious under the wise leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
