Kyrgyzstan Kothongryon Observes Anniversary of Demise of Kim Il Sung
Pyongyang, July 12 (KCNA) -- The United Confederation of Koreans in Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyzstan Kothongryon) held a remembrance meeting at the Korea Center in Bishkek on July 8, the 18th anniversary of the demise of President Kim Il Sung.

Present there were Pak Kyong Ho, chairman of the Kyrgyzstan Kothongryon, and other officials and compatriots in Kyrgyzstan.

The participants laid bouquets before portraits of Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il hung on the wall of its office room and paid tribute to them.

Pak Kyong Ho in a speech praised the President as an iron-willed commander who defeated two imperialisms in one generation, the most outstanding statesman in the 20th century and benevolent father of people who devoted his all to the people's happiness and reunification of the country.

Compatriots and the world progressives still miss the President very much because his idea and feats are great, Pak said.

The speaker expressed conviction that the national reunification and the building of a thriving nation, life-time desire of the President and Kim Jong Il, would surely be achieved under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
