Noting that June 19 this year marks the 54th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Saber Ballul, department head of the Political Faculty of the University of Damascus of Syria, said:

HE Kim Jong Il scientifically proved that the Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung is a new original idea reflecting the will and requirement of the popular masses and made sure that the Juche idea was thoroughly applied to the party building and activities.

He built up the WPK into an invincible party based on the solid unity and cohesion and consolidated the single-hearted unity of the leader, the Party and the masses as firm as a rock.

Thanks to his Songun politics the WPK and the people could firmly defend Korean-style socialism despite all difficulties and trials.

We are sure that under the guidance of HE Kim Jong Un possessed of extraordinary political and diplomatic caliber and pluck, the WPK would dynamically advance along the road indicated by the preceding leaders.

Songchit Pullarp, chairman of the Organization for the Study of the Juche Idea of Thailand, said, noting that June 15 is the day when the inter-Korean declaration of historic significance in the movement for Korea's reunification was adopted:

The Panmunjom Declaration was made public on April 27 and the DPRK-U.S. summit meeting and talks provided on June 12 for the first time in history, thanks to HE Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of the Korean people, who has the strong will to successfully accomplish the cause of the preceding leaders.

The Korean people will dynamically advance along the road chosen by themselves as they have held in high esteem the most prominent leaders in the world.
