DPRK Holidays in Dec. Marked Abroad
Pyongyang, January 8 (KCNA) -- Celebrations were held abroad to mark the 27th anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il's assumption of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army (KPA) and the 7th anniversary of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un's assumption of the KPA supreme commandership.

A symposium on Kim Jong Il's work was held in Bulgaria and a photo show in China and lecture and film show took place in Algeria on Dec. 28 and 29 last year.

A Korean film about the DPRK demonstrating its prestige as a power all over the world was screened at the film show.

At the symposium on Kim Jong Il's work "Respecting the Forerunners of the Revolution Is a Noble Moral Obligation of Revolutionaries" held by the Bulgarian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, speakers said that the work elaborated on the stance and stand of the revolutionaries on their leader.

They noted that socialism collapsed in some countries which had been building socialism and they could not avoid miserable fate, because they failed to preserve the

idea and exploits of their leaders.

They stressed that under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, the Korean people are holding President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the eternal leaders, thus clearly showing the world the noble traits the revolutionaries should have.

The chairperson of the Algeria-Korea Friendship Association said it would have been unthinkable without the leadership of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un that the Korean People's Army is demonstrating its might as the invincible revolutionary army recognized by the world, praising him as an ever-victorious commander possessed of seasoned commanding art, rare military qualifications and iron pluck and gut.
