Over the past 30 years after its erection in April Juche 71 (1982), the tower has been visited by a great large number of people, among them 480,000 foreigners.

This figure shows how ardently the world progressives follow the Juche idea.

The world people's deep reverence for President Kim Il Sung, founder of this idea, can be felt through commemorative, valuable stones donated to the tower by more than 80 countries and international organizations.

After visiting the tower, Subash Kaji Shrestha, head of the delegation of the Study Forum for Self-Reliance of Nepal, said the foundation of the Juche idea by the President was an epoch-making event that brought about a radical change in the development of progressive human thought and the cause for independence.

N. Sarantuya, member of the Leadership Council of the Mongolian Mt. Paektu Association for Independent Development, said the Juche idea serves as guidelines to be held fast to by not only the Korean people but also the world progressives in the revolution and construction.

Along with the Juche idea clearly showing the road ahead of the times and humankind, the tower remains a monument in the era of independence.
