The Egyptian paper Al Akhbar Al Massay said:

The life of HE Kim Jong Il was like a leaping flame.

2011, the last year of his great life, in particular, was the year when he worked harder for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people with his iron will and superhuman energy.

He walked in the van for the building of a powerful socialist country throughout the year 2011.

The paper introduced the world-startling miracles and innovations wrought one after another in the DPRK in 2011 alone thanks to his devoted efforts.

An article praising his feats for the cause of national reunification was posted on the website of the British Association for the Study of Songun Policy.

The Cambodian state radio and the website of the Communist Party of Italy, too, reported about the career of Kim Jong Il who had continued his journey of field guidance for the people till the last moments of his life.
