The general secretary of the France-Korea Friendship Association said at the meeting that August 25, 1960 is a historic day Kim Jong Il started the Songun revolutionary leadership, adding that he is the symbol of victory for the human cause of independence steering the world politics with Songun under the uplifted banner of independence against imperialism.

The chairman of the Arab Socialist Party of Egypt said at the round-table talks that the Songun politics is a great political mode defending the sovereignty and dignity of the country and nation and advancing the cause of socialism in the world today when high-handed and arbitrary practices of the imperialists are rampant and serves as a key to all victories of the Korean people.

The Arab Socialist Party of Egypt will as ever boost the contact and cooperation with the Workers' Party of Korea and positively support the Korean people in their struggle for defending socialism, achieving reunification of the country and building a great prosperous and powerful nation, he stressed.

The participants of the film shows watched Korean films such as "Fireworks for a Thriving Nation."
