Alfonso Galdi, director of the International Department of the Communist Party of Italy, said:

The Communist Party of Italy is significantly celebrating the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation.

We still admire the heroic struggle of the Korean people for national liberation.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is steadily advancing the anti-imperialist cause.

Songchit Pullarp, chairman of the Organization for the Study of the Juche Idea of Thailand, noted President Kim Il Sung carried out a protracted hard-fought struggle to liberate the country.

The President founded the Juche idea and fully relied on the Korean people in the days of struggle, the chairman noted, and went on:

He founded the DPRK after the country's liberation.

He is revered not only by the Korean people but by the world progressive people for his winning back the country and resurrecting the nation.
