Vasile Orleanu, chairman of the Supreme Council of the Socialist Party of Romania, explained the main contents of Kim Jong Il's work "Socialism Is a Science", saying this work serves as a historic document saving the world socialist movement from crisis.

Kim Jong Il in his work proved the validity and truth of socialism and gave clear answers to the principled questions arising in developing the socialist movement, he said.

He was convinced that progressives are looking up to the DPRK as the beacon of hope and that Kim Jong Il's ideological and theoretical feats will shine long in the history of humankind's ideology.

Alhassan Mamman Muhammad, chairman of the Nigerian National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said that Kim Jong Il lived a pure life, building monuments and statues for revolutionary forerunners and those who performed great feats for the country but not allowing his own statue.

Kim Jong Il was, indeed, the benevolent father embracing all people, he stressed.
