DPRK Praised by Syrian Personage
Pyongyang, September 18 (KCNA) -- Saber Ballul, head of Department of the Political Faculty at University of Damascus in Syria, made public a statement on Sept. 8 in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the DPRK.

He said Sept. 9 this year marks the 65th anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, genuine people's country founded by President Kim Il Sung.

The founding of the DPRK was a historic event that brought about an epochal turn in carving out the destiny of the Korean nation, he noted, and went on:

The country is guided by the original Juche idea founded by the President.

The Juche idea which fully reflects the independent demand and aspirations of the popular masses indicates the way for the Korean people to maintain independence.

The DPRK is a socialist country that has emerged victorious in the anti-imperialist struggle.

Socialist Korea has remained undeterred by the political and military pressure, economic blockade and ideological and cultural offensive by the imperialist allied forces and made further successes in building a thriving nation day by day.

The immortal Juche idea and Songun idea make it possible for the Korean people to resolutely smash the anti-DPRK maneuvers of the U.S.-led imperialists, defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country and demonstrate its invincibility.

Kim Jong Un is the supreme leader of Korean people who leads the army and people to victory with Songun politics.

He is an invincible and iron-willed commander.

It is certain that the friendly Korean people will always emerge victorious in the efforts to build a thriving socialist country and reunify the country under the sagacious leadership of Kim Jong Un, upholding the banner of Juche idea and Songun idea.
