The Brazilian Committee for Solidarity with the DPRK on March 25 in an article titled "President Kim Il Sung, distinguished great man in 20th century", illustrated with the portrait of smiling Kim Il Sung, said:

The DPRK could turn into a socialist power of independence, self-sufficiency and self-reliant defence under the leadership of the President.

Thanks to this powerful foundation and potentials the DPRK could invariably hold fast to the socialist banner and make a leap forward to the high peak of building a thriving nation when socialism was frustrated in different countries in the closing years of the last century.

All epochal events in the building of a thriving nation in the DPRK are a brilliant embodiment of the ideal and desire of the President.

The African Party for the Solidarity and Justice of Mali on April 7 in an article titled "Kim Il Sung, shining august name" said that his august name is shining as a symbol of national liberation and the era of independence, symbol of noble virtues and lofty sense of obligation and banner of eternal victory.
