The national chairman of the People's Progressive Party of Nigeria said that the Workers' Party of Korea could only follow the path of victory and glory. This would be unthinkable apart from the feats of President Kim Il Sung, its founder, and HE Kim Jong Il, its eternal general secretary, he added.

M. Gamrul Huda, chairman of the Bangladesh Institute of the Juche Idea, and other speakers said that the Day of the Shining Star is the most auspicious holiday for not only the Korean people but also the world progressives aspiring after independence.

They said thanks to Kim Jong Il the cause of global independence could make a dynamic advance despite the imperialist allied forces' vicious challenges and the DPRK demonstrate its might as an example and as a powerful country to be followed by the political parties and peoples of all countries struggling for winning the national independence and defending sovereignty.
