Jean Baptiste Nkoy, general secretary of the People's Rally for Socialism of Democratic Congo, praised Kim Jong Il for having strengthened self-defensive capability in every way by pursuing the Songun politics.

The Songun politics is an all-powerful treasured sword for national sovereignty and prosperity, and it is the greatest political mode that developing countries desirous of independence should follow, he stressed.

The secretary general of the Romania-Korea Friendship Association said that Kim Il Sung built in Korea the people-centered socialist system where the people are masters of everything and everything serves them.
