The reporter and other speakers noted that Kim Il Sung founded the Juche idea and applied it to the revolution and construction, thus winning only victories.

The DPRK has ranked itself among the advanced nuclear powers by beefing up its military capabilities for self-defense in every way under the unfurled banner of the Juche idea, and the Korean people are firmly protecting the sovereignty of the country and nation by meeting all challenges of the U.S. and its followers, they noted.

They called upon the international community not to lend an ear to the anti-DPRK propaganda of the Western media but to properly recognize the reality of the DPRK and the injustice of the UN sanctions upon the DPRK.

The Chandigarh declaration was adopted at the seminar.
