The president of the Mexican Friend Association for Memory of President Kim Il Sung and Leader Kim Jong Il said that President Kim Il Sung led the arduous, great anti-Japanese war to victory to liberate the country and achieved the historic cause of founding the Republic and turned the DPRK into a powerful socialist country independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defence.

The chairperson of the Romanian National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea stressed that the DPRK made great successes in external relations this year marking the 70th founding anniversary of the country, which was a brilliant fruition of the high political ability of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un who is reliably carrying forward the idea and cause of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il.

The chairperson of the Bangladesh Group for the Study of the Songun Policy said it is entirely thanks to the great leaders that Korea, which suffered from centuries-old backwardness and poverty in the past, has now taken the position of a power recognized by the world.

Meanwhile, a memorial tree-planting was held in Mongolia on Sep. 2 by members of the preparatory committee for celebrating the 70th founding anniversary of the DPRK.
