The Organization for the Study of the Juche Idea of Thailand said:

The President was a great thinker and theoretician and outstanding statesman.

He authored the immortal Juche idea and built the most advantageous socialist state.

The DPRK has emerged a power standing firm in confrontation with the U.S. This would be unthinkable without his wise leadership.

Great, indeed, are the exploits performed by him for the country and the nation.

The Thailand-DPRK Friendship Association said:

The President founded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and devoted himself to bringing the happiest life to the people.

He rendered sincere support to the people of many countries in their national liberation struggle and the building of a new society.

He is a peerless patriot and the sun of humankind as he dedicated himself to the prosperity of the country and the global cause of independence all his life.

Though he passed away, his great exploits will always be remembered not only by the Korean people but by progressive humankind.
