The Association for the Promotion of the Relations between Austria and DPRK posted an article titled "Kim Jong Il's patriotism" and other articles, illustrated with his smiling portrait.

Its website in an article titled "Eternal general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea" said though Kim Jong Il untimely passed away in December last year, the Korean people are holding him in high esteem as eternal general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea.

It is quite natural that the Korean people are holding him in high esteem as their eternal leader, the article added.

The French Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Idea posted an article titled "Songun protecting peace".

The article said: The DPRK is at a war without gunfire with the imperialist allied forces.

The Songun politics which attaches importance to military affairs is guaranteeing peace in Korea.

It was thanks to this politics that the DPRK firmly defended its ideology and social system even at a time when socialism was frustrated in the East European countries. Today it is shedding its rays as a socialist fortress possessed of powerful nuclear deterrent.

The Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il served as a treasured sword protecting peace and security in the Korean Peninsula, Northeast Asia and other parts of the world.

The Far Eastern Association for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism of Russia in an article praised him as a peerless brilliant commander of Songun who firmly protected the dignity of socialist Korea.
