The Guinean preparatory committee for celebrating the Day of the Sun in an article titled "Eternal sun" said:

Why is the great President Kim Il Sung being revered as the sun? The august name of the President means the sun.

He indicated the way of mankind with bright smile on his face just like his august name and the sun, created the flower garden with warm enthusiasm and ardent human love and took care of all people with great attraction.

He founded the Juche idea, clearly indicating the way for mankind to follow.

The Juche idea has grasped the hearts of all people with its great vitality and attraction and gives strong impetus to the cause of global independence.

Though he passed away, his idea and feats are shining long just like the sun.

The Bulgaria-Korea Friendship Association and the Mexican Institute for the Study of the Juche Idea in articles titled "104th birth anniversary of the great President Kim Il Sung" and "Smile of the sun" praised his sacred revolutionary career and undying feats.
