The chief of the Italian Organization for Friendship and Support to the DPRK said they deeply remember Kim Jong Il with the approach of the fifth anniversary of his demise.

We came to keenly feel the advantages of socialist Korea while studying the works of Kim Jong Il who led the DPRK to prosperity, and are now widely disseminating his unique ideas and theories, the chief said, adding:

The world clearly witnesses socialist Korea advancing along the road of victory despite the imperialist forces' persistent obstructive moves and tightened economic sanctions and blockade.

Kim Jong Il devoted all his life to happiness of the Korean people and performed undying feats for the cause of independence of mankind, and he will be always alive in our hearts.

Rosanita Campos, vice-president of the Party for Free Motherland of Brazil, expressed deep respects to Kim Jong Il, eternal leader of the Workers' Party of Korea, saying that he is always alive in the hearts of them and other progressives of the world.
