He said that the Day of the Sun is the greatest national holiday of the Korean people, noting:

President Kim Il Sung devoted his whole life to the country and its people and the accomplishment of the socialist cause.

That's why the Korean people are celebrating his birthday as the Day of the Sun.

Today the DPRK's strategic position has reached the highest level.

The DPRK struggling to defend the sovereignty of the country and nation and realize genuine international justice is an example in securing global peace and stability and maintaining independence.

Progressive humankind sincerely want the DPRK to lead more dynamically the cause of independence against imperialism as a world's power that foils the imperialists' high-handed and arbitrary practices and establishes a just international order.
