Banou Keita, chairman of the Guinea-Korea Friendship Association, said that Kim Jong Il turned the DPRK into a political, ideological and military power which nobody dares provoke by developing and enriching the Juche idea and Songun idea founded by President Kim Il Sung and thoroughly applying them to the revolution and construction.

He stressed that Kim Jong Il directed big efforts to the development of the relations with the countries aspiring after independence and waged energetic external activities in the idea of independence, peace and friendship, thus dynamically propelling the cause of global independence.

The chairman noted that his revolutionary idea and exploits will go down forever.

Saber Ballul, head of the Department of the Political Faculty of University of Damascus of Syria, praised Kim Jong Il as the tender-hearted father of the Korean people, a peerlessly outstanding leader and the greatest man who made contributions to the Korean revolution and the cause of human independence.
