Personages of various circles and masses in relevant countries were present at those events.

The chairman of the Sweden-Korea Friendship Association said that the Korean people have achieved great successes in building a powerful socialist country while frustrating threats and challenges of the imperialist allied forces under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.

The radical development of the DPRK encourages the revolutionary peoples of the world in their anti-imperialist struggle for national independence and social progress, he said, adding:

Friends of the DPRK in Sweden will in the future, too, extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people's cause of justice.

The chairman of the Switzerland-Korea Committee said that all the successes achieved in the DPRK this year are the brilliant fruition of the outstanding leadership of Kim Jong Un.

Bulgarian personages of different units, including the Bulgaria-Korea Friendship Association, the Kim Il Sung Library in Sofia, said that the world people are admiring the great achievements made by the Korean people in the strengthening of defence power and in the socialist construction for the last 8 years since they upheld Kim Jong Un at the top post of the revolutionary armed forces.

They stressed that the Korean people will win greater victory as they are led by Kim Jong Un who is identical to President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il.

Congratulatory messages to Kim Jong Un were adopted at the events held in Sweden and Switzerland.
