Pyongyang, July 13 (KCNA) -- A meeting to remember President Kim Il Sung was held in Harbin, China on July 7 on the occasion of the 19th anniversary of his demise.

Present there were families of the Chinese related to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, a Korean related to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle in China and his family, the manager of Heilongjiang Daily and other figures.

The attendants paid silent tribute to Kim Il Sung.

Ri Min, a Korean related to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle in China, said: We recollect with deep emotion the days when battles were fought against the Japanese imperialists under the leadership of Kim Il Sung, the eternal leader of the Korean people and close friend of the Chinese people. He was the most outstanding leader in the 20th century. His reminiscences "With the Century" serves as an immensely valuable revolutionary asset and a good textbook for all of us.

It is my hope that the younger generation would not forget the precious revolutionary spirit and tradition provided by the elder generation of the two countries through an arduous struggle but carry forward them generation after generation.

Family members of the Chinese related to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle Li Zhaolin, Wang Minggui and Jiang Zihua and others also made speeches.
