Kim Jong Il has energetically worked to develop the Party into the revolutionary party of Juche, the eternal party of President Kim Il Sung from the first day of his work at the WPK Central Committee, said the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Democratic Congo.

The politics of love for the people, the politics of unity and independence pursued by Kim Jong Il is a political mode which the parties of all countries should learn, he added.

The chairman of the Democratic Congo-Korea Friendship and Solidarity Association noted Kim Jong Il is a distinguished political elder who has led the WPK from long ago.

It is a fruition of Kim Jong Il's leadership that the WPK could develop into the party absolutely supported and trusted by the people while maintaining its principle despite all storm and stress, he stressed.

The chairman of the Central Committee of the Poland-Korea Association said the Korean people would surely overcome all trials and difficulties and fling open the gate to a thriving nation as they are led by Kim Jong Il.

A congratulatory message to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the event in Democratic Congo.
