The coordinator of the Democratic Congolese Association for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism said in a statement on January 24:

The wise leadership of Kim Jong Il greatly inspired the peoples of all countries struggling against domination and interference of the imperialists and for freedom and independence.

He, who fully embodied President Kim Il Sung's idea of believing in the people as in Heaven, devoted his all to their happiness all his life.

The DPRK could emerge a full-fledged nuclear weapons state and satellite launcher thanks to Kim Jong Il, who firmly defended the sovereignty of the country with Songun politics.

The great exploits performed by him in carrying out the Korean revolution and accomplishing the cause of global independence will shine long and they will always be remembered by progressive mankind.

Manju Ratna Sakya, chairman of the Nepal Journalist Association for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Politics, in a statement on January 30 noted:

The great miracles worked by the DPRK at present are the brilliant fruition of the exploits performed by Kim Jong Il.

The world should learn the immortal Juche idea founded by Kim Il Sung and the unique Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il.

Ali Houdou, president of the Socialist Party of Benin, said in a statement on February 1 that the world people aspiring after socialism are all out in the just struggle, drawing great conviction and courage from socialist Korea led by Kim Jong Il.
