They included a remembrance meeting and seminar on his exploits in Peru, round-table talks in Ethiopia and film show in Indonesia on Dec. 8 and 9.

Present there were figures of different circles and masses of relevant countries.

The chairman of the Peruvian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism said:

Kim Jong Il led socialist construction and the cause of independence against imperialism to victory by embodying the Songun idea and line for a protracted period.

He firmly defended socialism and turned the DPRK into a politico-ideological and military power despite the imperialist allied forces' vicious moves to stifle Korean socialism in the closing years of the last century.

His great revolutionary career and Songun feats will be immortal along with the august name of the sun.

Personages of a metal and machine company of Ethiopia praised him for turning the DPRK into a country strong in independence and opening the bright prospect of the country's reunification.

The section chief in charge of foreign relations of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle noted that the film show offered an occasion to know better about deep reverence of the Korean people and progressive mankind for Kim Jong Il.
