Carrying a portrait of smiling President Kim Il Sung, the newspaper Nokor Thom Daily said:

The President is a pioneer and leader of the era of independence as he fathered the Juche idea to show the road ahead of mankind.

With the faith that the master of the Korean revolution is Korean revolutionaries and the country's independence can be achieved only by the force of its nation, he realized the historic cause of Korea's liberation through a great war against the one million-strong Japanese imperialist army.

Proceeding from the steadfast principle of independence, he set forth the nation-building line suited to the specific conditions of Korea and built a genuine country for the people where they are the masters of everything and everything serves them.

He beat back the armed invasion of the U.S. imperialists, which boasted of being "the world's strongest", and won a great victory in the Fatherland Liberation War and built on the debris of war a socialist power independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence.

He is a prominent elder statesman in the world who had led the human cause of independence under the banner of independence against imperialism all his life and a peerlessly great man who impressed the world with warm humanity.

The State Radio Broadcasting Service aired what prominent personages of countries have said, attracted by the noble personality of the President.

It lauded the noble internationalist obligation of the President, who rendered material and moral assistance to the struggle for national liberation and building of new society in many countries, and introduced in detail how Kimilsungia, the flower of the sun, came to being in the world.

The Apsara Radio Broadcasting and the FM 90.5 Radio also praised the life of the President who is always alive in the mind of mankind.
