Many world people who met the Chairman and read his encyclopedic celebrated works were deeply impressed by his outstanding idea and theory.

Among them is Vishwanath, who was secretary general of the International Kim Il Sung Prize Council and the International Kim Jong Il Prize Council and director-general of the International Institute of the Juche Idea.

Towards the close of the 20th century, the hostile forces intensified the moves to stifle the DPRK advancing under the banner of socialism, clamoring about the "21st century without socialism". At that time, Chairman Kim Jong Il, an outstanding thinker-theoretician and defender of the cause of justice, made public "Socialism Is a Science" and other celebrated works to indicate a way for the final victory of socialism.

Witnessing the reality, Vishwanath said that the Chairman is the sun of humankind leading the human cause of independence to victory with a powerful might like the sun. Even, Western politicians and media praised the Chairman as a great person possessed of rare wisdom and prominent political ability.

The Chairman had embraced and bestowed favors on every person loving justice and truth and aspiring to independence and progress, regardless of the difference in nationality, language, race, political view and religious faith.

His warm humanity was shown to such foreigners as Nikolai Ryashenko, a veteran of the former Soviet Union, Jindallae of Palestine and Saebyol of Cuba who were born at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital, Genaro Carnero Checa who was secretary general of the Federation of Latin American Journalists, and Govind Narain Srivastava of India.

Giancarlo Elia Valori, president of the International Group of Italy, said that His Excellency Kim Jong Il is the sun of humankind and his love is the sun's love as he cultivates the human world with love.

Chairman Kim Jong Il is always alive in the hearts of the progressive humankind.
