Pyongyang, April 11 (KCNA) -- Meetings, remembrance meetings, a film show and a reading session took place in Ecuador, Dominica and Indonesia between Mar. 31 and Apr. 3 on the occasion of the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.

Milton Burbano, chairman of the Ecuadorian Cultural Institute for the Study of the Juche Idea, said at a meeting that the whole life of Kim Il Sung, who devoted his all to the reunification of the country and happiness of the people, is the brilliant life serving as a genuine example for the world progressive mankind.

It is unthinkable without the distinguished leadership of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il that Korea, which groaned under the colonial rule of the Japanese imperialists in the last century, has demonstrated its might as a powerful country launching earth satellites like a thunderbolt which terrifies the stronghold of imperialism, he stressed.

Ivan Rodriguez, chairman of the C.C., the Dominican Workers' Party, said at a meeting that the successes achieved by the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people in the standoff with the imperialists give great strength and encouragement to the Dominican revolutionaries. And he declared that his party would as ever extend full support and solidarity to the just cause of the Korean people.

The director of an Indonesian company, at a remembrance meeting, highly praised the immortal exploits of Kim Il Sung, saying that the President would be always alive in the hearts of the Korean people and the world progressives.

Korean film "The Tower of the Juche Idea" was appreciated at the film show.

A message to General Secretary Kim Jong Il was adopted at the remembrance meeting held in Dominica.
