Kim Jong Il's Birthday Celebrated in Ukraine
Pyongyang, February 21 (KCNA) -- A meeting was held by the United Confederation of Koreans in Ukraine on February 15 on the occasion of the birthday of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

Kim Yong Sul, chairman of the United Confederation of Koreans in Ukraine, in a speech at the meeting referred to the fact that all the overseas compatriots are significantly celebrating the birthday of Kim Jong Il.

He noted that Songun Korea is displaying the might of the political and military power as Kim Jong Il paved a wide avenue for building a great prosperous and powerful nation and has led the army and people of the DPRK.

Though the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors is now frantically kicking up an anti-DPRK racket, it can never hold in check the struggle of the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas to defend and thoroughly implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, he added.
