Seminars, briefings and round-table talks were sponsored by the Bulgarian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, branches of the Ethiopian Youth Study Group of the Juche Idea and an enterprise for designing and supervising water projects in Ethiopia.

The chief of the Bulgarian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and other speakers said Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address reviewed the significant year 2013 characterized by remarkable events and clarified the tasks and ways for raising a fierce wind of making a fresh leap forward on all fronts of building a thriving nation this year.

They expressed full support to his New Year Address, saying that it is a programme indicating this year's orientation for not only the Korean people but also the progressive people of the world to accomplish the socialist cause and the human cause of independence.

Speakers including the chief in charge of irrigation of the above-said enterprise said they witnessed the strong spirit and pluck of the great leader, seeing the DPRK dynamically advance along the road of its development despite stern ordeals and hardships last year.

Seeing Kim Jong Un channel big efforts into economic construction and improved people's living standard, they keenly realized his politics of attaching importance to the people and loving them, they noted. The scrutiny of the tasks for national reunification set forth in his New Year Address helps feel his warm patriotism, they added.
