Javed Ansari, secretary general of the Society for the Study of Self-Reliance of Pakistan, and other speakers referred to the glorious history of the WPK which has always won victory under the guidance of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

He said that Marshal Kim Jong Un, who successfully carries forward the idea and cause of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, is further developing the WPK into their party and leading the drive of the Korean people for building a thriving nation by dint of Songun.

Eddie Kekana, chairman of the Group for the Study of the Progressive Ideas of South Africa, noted:

While leading the WPK, Kim Jong Il developed the party into the party of Kim Il Sung.

He built the WPK into the party forming a harmonious whole with the popular masses and serving them.

He strengthened the WPK into a powerful political force successfully steering the Juche-based Songun revolutionary cause. He also trained the army and people of the DPRK to be strong in mental power, bringing about epochal changes and miracles in the revolution and construction.

His great exploits for party-building will shine long along with socialist Korea which makes a long drive.
