DPRK Anniversaries Marked Abroad
Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- A lecture and photo exhibition were held in Finland, a seminar in Pakistan and round-table talks in Indonesia on Dec. 17 and 18. They are to celebrate the 19th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il as supreme commander of the Korean People's Army and the 93rd birth anniversary of Kim Jong Suk, anti-Japanese war hero.

Displayed at the exhibition were photos on the undying Songun leadership exploits of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il's gaining of the KPA supreme commandership helped strengthen it into a reliable revolutionary army for carrying forward the President's cause of army-building generation after generation and defending the socialist system in the DPRK, said the chairman of the Finnish Communists' League.

It is entirely the result of the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il that the DPRK has legitimately defended its dignity and sovereignty against the persistent military threat and arbitrary practices of the U.S. and other imperialists, he said, adding:

The KPA has grown to be a matchless army strong in idea under the leadership of Kim Jong Il and is creating feats in building socialist economy.

The Korean people are praising Kim Jong Suk as the model of devotedly defending the leader who distinguished herself in upholding Kim Il Sung, peerlessly great man of the Korean nation.

She is not only the mother of the nation who devoted her whole life to the freedom and independence of the country and the happiness of its people but great revolutionary who performed outstanding feats in carrying forward the revolutionary cause of the President generation after generation.

A message of greetings to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the event in Pakistan.
