The chairman of the Brazilian Committee for Remembering Leader Kim Jong Il said:

The President embarked on the road of the struggle in his teens and founded the immortal Juche idea in the course of hewing out a new road of the Korean revolution.

The founding of the Juche idea ushered in a new era, the era of independence in which the popular masses emerged masters of their destiny and a driving force of history for the first time in the human history.

The DPRK turned into a powerful socialist state, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence under the leadership of the President.

The exploits performed by Kim Il Sung on behalf of the Korean revolution and cause of global independence will last forever.

The general manager of a publishing house in Myanmar noted that Kim Il Sung was a great leader and iron-willed commander as he defeated the U.S. and Japanese imperialisms in one generation, built a socialist power in Korea and made immortal contributions to the happiness and prosperity of the Korean people and the cause of global independence.
