The Swiss preparatory committee for the 2017 meeting for praising the great persons of Mt. Paektu, the Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea said this in a joint statement on December 19 last year.

The statement went on:

The army and people of the DPRK held respected HE Kim Jong Un in high esteem as supreme commander of the Korean People's Army on Dec. 30, 2011.

He inspected the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the KPA, associated with the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great Generalissimo Kim Jong Il, on the occasion of the new year 2012.

Under his guidance the DPRK had access to the nuclear deterrent strong enough to meet the challenge of the U.S. imperialist war maniacs and the KPA has emerged the strongest revolutionary forces.

We warmly congratulate the Korean people on the 5th anniversary of his assumption of KPA supreme commandership.

Long live Marshal Kim Jong Un, another commander of Mt. Paektu and peerlessly brilliant commander of Songun!
