The chairman of the above-said Swedish association said that Kim Jong Il, supreme commander of the KPA, formulated the Songun politics as a basic political mode of socialism and paved the path of building a great prosperous and powerful nation while foiling the maneuvers of the U.S.-led imperialist reactionary forces to stifle the DPRK with its military power.

Under his Songun leadership the DPRK could have powerful military deterrent which guarantees peace and security in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world and it is shining in the world as a beacon of hope of the world progressive people struggling for socialism and independence, he noted.

He also highly praised the feats of Kim Jong Suk, saying that she safeguarded President Kim Il Sung politically and ideologically and at the risk of her life and brought up Kim Jong Il as the bright star of Mt. Paektu so that the Korean people have been blessed with illustrious leaders generation after generation.
