The Britain-Korea Friendship Association said in a statement:

Kim Jong Il did not allow the infiltration of any unsound ideological element into the WPK and developed and enriched the Juche idea, the guiding idea of the party.

He developed the WPK into the mother party.

When socialism collapsed in various countries, he made sure that the party held higher the red flag.

Our association pays highest tribute to him for his undying feats for developing the party.

The Thailand-DPRK Friendship Association said in a statement that Kim Jong Il was a great master of independent politics to be specially recorded in the world history of politics.

It went on:

The most important of his political feats was that he established the Songun political mode.

Thanks to his Songun politics, the DPRK emerged as a military power which no formidable enemy dares to attack and could successfully defend its sovereignty and socialism despite the imperialist allied forces' moves.

He will be always remembered by all peoples in the world as a great master of independent politics as he led the Korean revolution and the cause of global independence to victory.
