After the birth of the DPRK, its people have creditably defended the socialist system centered on the popular masses.

Despite the imperialists' persistent moves to isolate the DPRK in political, military and economic aspects, the DPRK has made long strides.

Witnessing this reality, the progressives of the world highly praise Kim Il Sung as the founder of socialist Korea and highly appreciate his feats for nation building.

The chairman of the Supreme Council of the Socialist Party of Romania said:

The Korean people hold in high esteem His Excellency Kim Il Sung as the eternal President of the DPRK.

Kim Il Sung, who embarked on the road of revolution in his early years, liberated the country from the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule to provide its people with a genuine life and happiness. He built a socialist power where the popular masses play a role of masters of the country for the first time in the history of the Korean nation.

An official of the Russian Association for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK said:

Under the wise guidance of Kim Il Sung, the DPRK had won victories one after another. The credit for the victorious advance made by it goes to Kim Il Sung, the founder of socialist Korea.

The Egyptian newspaper Al-Misaiya in an article titled "Korea and Its Founder Kim Il Sung" noted that President Kim Il Sung is the father of the Korean nation as he built a people's country for the first time in the nation's history of 5000 years, a socialist power not wavered under any storm and stress.

Media of Nepal, Mexico and many other countries stressed that the feats performed by the President in building up the DPRK into an invincible socialist power, will remain forever.
