The reporter said that Kim Il Sung embarked upon the road of revolution in his early years and had hewed out the thorny road of the Korean revolution, in which he defeated the two formidable imperialist enemies in one generation to liberate the country and win a great victory in the Fatherland Liberation War with the faith of Juche. The reporter stressed that Kim Il Sung enjoys boundless respect and praise from all people even now as he remarkably boosted the international position and influence of the DPRK through energetic external activities, rendered sincere aid to the peoples of the countries in their struggle for anti-imperialist independence and socialism and thus made a great contribution to the human cause of independence.
