The bulletin in an article titled "President Kim Il Sung, Peerlessly Great Man" said the Korean people have become the most dignified people in the world and the DPRK has shed its rays as a socialist power independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence as they are holding him in high esteem.

The President's cause of building a rich country has been successfully carried forward by General Secretary Kim Jong Il, it added.

Kim Jong Il has further consolidated the DPRK's status as a politico-ideological and military power while wisely leading the Korean people in their struggle to build a prosperous and powerful nation, stressed the bulletin.

The France-Korea Friendship Association in its bulletin on June 23 elaborated on Kim Jong Il's successful visit to China with his photo meeting with Hu Jintao.

The bulletin carried the full text of the statement issued by a spokesman for the National Defence Commission of the DPRK on May 30 and an article denouncing the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors' moves to escalate confrontation with the DPRK. It also introduced the association's activities for the development of relations between the two countries.
