Dag Norum, chairman of the Ostfold County Committee of the Communist Party of Norway, said that Kim Jong Il was the great thinker and theoretician and great master of leadership who developed the Workers' Party of Korea into an invincible party and the Korean People's Army into a matchless revolutionary army.

Ivan Draxler, chairman of the Slovakia-Korea Friendship Association, praised Kim Jong Il for performing the Songun leadership exploits.

The DPRK is fully displaying the vitality of the Songun politics in all domains including economy, defence, science, culture, education and public health under the guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un, he noted, adding:

The Korean people will invariably advance along the road of independence, Songun and socialism as they are led by Kim Jong Un.

Hessou Kohovi, chairman of the Benin-Korea Amicable Association "Long Live Kim Jong Il, Supreme Leader" who doubles as chairman of the Benin National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said that Kim Jong Il's exploits would shine forever along with the prosperity of the DPRK.

Messages to Kim Jong Un were adopted at the meetings held in Norway and Benin.
