Day of Shining Star Celebrated Abroad
Pyongyang, March 4 (KCNA) -- Meetings in celebration of the birth anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il (the Day of the Shining Star) took place in Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria and Laos from February 11 to 16.

The chairman of the Central Council of the People Unity-"Kyrgyz El" Republican Political Party said Kim Jong Il successfully carried forward the noble cause of President Kim Il Sung, founding father of socialist Korea, and turned the DPRK into a political and ideological power and military power.

Kim Jong Il in the late last century frustrated the ever-more escalating moves of the imperialists to isolate and stifle the DPRK and firmly defended Korean-style socialism.

The chairman of the Bulgaria-Korea Friendship Association and other speakers said that Kim Jong Il devoted his all to prosperity of the country and happiness of its people and global independence till the last moments of his noble life.

His great exploits will go down in history.

Congratulatory messages to supreme leader Kim Jong Un were adopted at the meetings held in Kyrgyzstan and Bulgaria.
