The International Alliance of Societies for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Policy in East European and Central Asian Regions on June 20 posted an article titled "Children are kings of the country" with a photo of Kim Jong Il.

The phrase "children are kings of the country" reflects the nature of socialist Korea led by Kim Jong Il, the article said, telling about the loving care and benevolence shown by him for children.

The Alliance also posted an article titled "Plan of Workers' Party of Korea" on June 24.

The Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea in an article on June 5 said Kim Jong Il's start of work at the WPK Central Committee on June 19, 1964 was an event of great historic significance in successfully carrying forward the undying revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung.

Kim Jong Il invariably held aloft socialist banner despite the complicated international situation and turned the DPRK into a politico-ideological power and a military power, the article said.

The progressive humankind is praising him as an elder statesman of the world who built the DPRK into a power in the East, it added.
