The Juche idea, fathered by the President, clarifies the man-centered outlook on the world, and it is a revolutionary doctrine for independence of the popular masses.

The forthcoming world congress clearly shows that the Juche idea has become a world trend of thought going beyond the boundary of each nation and country and an idea common to the progressive mankind.

Pak Kye Myon, vice-director of the Secretariat of the Social Scientists Society of Korea, told KCNA over the program to be conducted during the congress:

According to the International Preparatory Committee for the World Congress on the Juche Idea, its participants are to visit the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and Kim Il Sung's old home in Mangyongdae. They will also tour the Tower of the Juche Idea, the Arch of Triumph and other places of historical, economic and cultural interests.

Through such visits, they will witness the situation of the DPRK, where the Juche idea has been applied.

The events to be held during the congress include a book and photo exhibition introducing the activities of the Juche idea study organizations, joint friendship gathering and round-table talk.

The International Preparatory Committee has so far organized various political and cultural events in different countries and regions, including seminars, lectures and meetings on the Juche idea, stirring up the atmosphere for the congress.

The decision to hold the congress has been fully approved by many people, and applicants for participation in it are steadily increasing in number.

The DPRK has stepped up preparations for the congress in close cooperation with the International Preparatory Committee.
