Roberto Carbonel Peso, president of the Peru-Korea Friendship Institute for the Study of Juche Songun Policy, praised Kim Jong Il as the great leader of the Korean people and the world people as he devoted his all to the Korean revolution and the cause of global independence since he was born in Mt. Paektu.

Toward the end of the last century when socialism was frustrated in the East European nations and the country was hard pressed for everything due to consecutive years of natural disasters, he unfolded a new chapter of the Songun politics with a resolute decision, protecting the dignity and sovereignty of the country and the nation and the cause of socialism, Roberto Carbonel Peso added.

Teresa Otiniano, chairperson of the Peruvian Association for the Study of Revolutionary Activities of Comrade Kim Jong Suk, said Kim Jong Il put up a unique slogan "Let Us Live Our Own Way!," turning the DPRK into a country strong in independence.

Tani Baler Lopera, international secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Peru (Red Motherland), said the cause of building a thriving socialist nation and achieving national reunification, lifetime desire of Kim Jong Il, is being invariably carried forward under the Songun leadership of Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un.

The secretary general of the Peruvian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism who is also chairperson of the committee for remembering Kim Jong Il said Kim Jong Il's devotion to revolution and people, spirit of defending the country and socialism and spirit of struggling against imperialism are all examples to be followed by the revolutionaries of the world.
