Dmitri Kostenko, chairman of the Russian Association for the Study of the Juche Idea, praised Kim Il Sung, father of socialist Korea, as the genuine leader of the people, outstanding strategist who led to victory the struggle against imperialism and the U.S. and the great leader and extraordinary thinker and theoretician who provided a solid foundation for the building of a thriving nation.

Daniel Dediu, chairman of the Romanian Workers' Association, said that Kim Il Sung was an ever-victorious and iron-willed brilliant commander who led to victory the arduous anti-Japanese armed struggle and brought about the beginning of a downhill turn for the U.S. imperialists.

Jon Arni Halldorsson, general secretary of the Iceland-DPRK Friendship and Culture Association, said that Kim Il Sung, who embarked on the road of revolution in his early years, founded the immortal Juche idea and led to victory the Korean revolution, in reliance on the tremendous might of popular masses, adding that he worked hard to put an end to the history of the nation's division and achieve the country's independent and peaceful reunification.

A message of greeting to the dear respected Kim Jong Un and a message of solidarity were adopted at the meeting in Romania.
