The Kuwaiti paper Al-Rai on Dec. 10 said Kim Jong Il provided great ideological and theoretical treasures.

The undying feats performed by him all his life will shine long as most precious legacies guaranteeing the victory of the socialist cause in the DPRK and the human cause of independence, it noted.

The Thai paper Xing San Daily on Dec. 12 devoted its one whole page to an article praising the feats he performed by strengthening the Workers' Party of Korea. General Secretary Kim Jong Il will be immortal with the WPK, it stressed.

The Dec. 10-20 issue of the Lao paper Heng Ngan said Kim Jong Il, whom the Korean people are holding in high esteem as their eternal leader, is a model of genuine patriots.

Patriotism he displayed in practice is most noble one which can go only with his august name in the light of its contents and great vitality, the paper noted.
