It went on:

He made sure that the WPK was strengthened with the Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung as the only guidelines and the tradition of unity and cohesion was glorified.

One of the distinguished feats he performed in party building was that he built the WPK into the genuine motherly party serving the people.

The Indian paper Indian and World Event also dedicated an article to the anniversary on June 15.

The Bangladeshi paper Ekota on June 14 noted that epochal changes took place in the DPRK since Kim Jong Il started work at the WPK Central Committee.

The Nepali paper Jana Sata on June 9 said:

Leader Kim Jong Il put forward the programme on modeling the whole party on the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung and energetically led the struggle for implementing it, thus consolidating the party as firm as a rock into the ideologically and organizationally integral whole that moves according to the one leadership system centered on the same idea.

He led the WPK along the road of socialism despite the imperialists' moves against socialism in the 1990s, the paper added.
