The Russian paper Byvor on March 23 carried a beaming image of the President and an article, which said:

It is Kim Il Sung, the father of socialist Korea, who regarded the politics as embodiment of love and trust in the people and translated it into reality for the first time in human history.

He founded the Juche idea and ushered in a new era of human love in the history of world politics.

The DPRK, guided by the Juche idea, has enforced the best popular policies such as the free medical care system and the free educational system.

The Indian paper Public News on March 30 dedicated its one whole page to an article titled "Great Man in the Century" and other articles together with a picture of the President.

The articles praised the undying feats of the peerlessly great man who defeated the U.S. and Japanese imperialisms and turned Korea, once a backward colonial semi-feudal state, into a powerful socialist country independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence, regarding as his maxim the idea of believing in the people as in Heaven and relying on their inexhaustible strength.

The April issue of the Pakistani magazine Peak Time carried in its eight whole pages a portrait of the President and photos on his undying feats and photos and articles introducing Songun Korea.
