Day of Sun Marked Abroad
Pyongyang, April 21 (KCNA) -- Foreign magazines and newspapers carried special write-ups on the occasion of the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung (the Day of the Sun).

An article praising the exploits of President Kim Il Sung illustrated with his beaming image was posted on a Vietnamese internet magazine on April 10.

The article cited facts that the President paid deep attention to the improvement of the people's standard of living and pursued a policy of love for people with charisma.

Kim Il Sung is highly lauded not only by the Korean people but by all other people of the world, the article noted, adding that he was the tender-hearted father of humankind.

On the same day the Egyptian paper Al-Misaiya said in an article titled "History's Appreciation" that Kim Il Sung was an outstanding great man who was praised by everybody irrespective of ideology, social system, political view and religion.

The Bangladeshi paper Natun Katha on April 8 carried an article titled "Songun Korea".

It said:

Kim Il Sung embarked in his early years on the road of struggle for liberating the Korean people who were groaning under the colonial rule of the Japanese imperialists.

He gave top priority to the building of regular armed forces and the development of the national defense industry, inflicting a heavy defeat upon the U.S. imperialists who provoked the Korean war and creditably protecting the sovereignty and the dignity of the country.

The DPRK emerged an independent power from a weak colonial nation. This reality is the historic inevitability of Songun.

The Pakistani paper Baluchistan Times on April 7 carried an article praising Kim Il Sung's exploits.
