The Laotian paper Pasason in an article titled "Undying exploits performed in accomplishing global cause of independence" said:

History does not know such a great man as Kim Jong Il who performed undying exploits for the human cause of independence with greatest idea and leadership ability.

He gave perfect answers to strategic and tactical matters arising in leading to victory the people's struggle to build a new independent world.

He led to victory the human cause of independence with his outstanding leadership ability.

What is the most important one of the exploits he performed by triumphantly advancing the global cause of independence is that he firmly protected socialism in the DPRK and the global peace and security, smashing the imperialists' moves to stifle the DPRK by pursuing the original Songun politics.

Kim Jong Il is always alive in the hearts of progressives as he made undying contributions to the global cause of independence.

Other Laotian papers Vatelao, Vientiane Mai, Congtap Pasason Lao and Heng Ngan carried articles introducing the exploits Kim Jong Il performed by successfully leading the Korean revolution and the human cause of independence under the uplifted banner of independence and Songun.
