Kim Jong Il's Birthday Celebrated Abroad
Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) -- Lectures and film shows took place in Romania, Brazil and Thailand between February 1 and 5 to celebrate the birthday of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il is deeply revered by the Korean people, said the chairman of the Romanian Workers' Association at a lecture.

The dignity and honor of the Korean people have reached the highest level as he turned the DPRK into a political, ideological and military power, he added.

The deputy mayor of Santos City, Sao Paulo State, Brazil noted at a lecture that Kim Jong Il shaped the plan for building a thriving nation, in which everything thrives and the people live with no more to desire in the world, and has wisely led the drive for bringing it into a reality.

The Korean people would surely build a great, prosperous and powerful nation as they are led by Kim Jong Il, the director of a Thai tourist company said after watching a film.

Films shown included "Pyongyang Today".
