Pyongyang, May 28 (KCNA) -- A joint seminar took place in Mexico on May 20 on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the start of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the 14th anniversary of the publication of his work "Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism".

Ramon Jimenez Lopez, president of the Mexican Committee for the Study of Kimilsungism, said at the seminar that over the past 45 years Kim Jong Il has developed the WPK into the party of President Kim Il Sung, its founder, the invincible party always emerging victorious and the strong mass party in which the single-minded unity is achieved, thus performing the immortal exploits to be recorded in history forever.

He stressed that Kim Jong Il's works serve as the powerful ideological and theoretical weapon in the building of the WPK and its activities and as the precious guidelines indicating the ways of struggle of the world progressive political parties and people aspiring after socialism.

Kim Jong Il is a great statesman and a prominent leader and a peerlessly brilliant commander as he has firmly defended the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation, foiling challenges and offensive of the U.S. and its followers under the banner of the Juche idea, founded by Kim Il Sung, and Songun, he said.

Noting that the WPK under the veteran and experienced leadership of Kim Jong Il is leading the global socialist cause to victory, he expressed belief that the WPK and the Korean people would surely open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation in 2012 marking the centenary of the birth of Kim Il Sung under the wise guidance of Kim Jong Il.

Juan Campos Vega, chairman of the Mexican Institute for the Study of the Juche Idea, and other speakers explained in depth the originality and vitality of the Juche idea and the Songun politics and the advantages of the Korean-style socialist system in which the Juche idea has been successfully applied and expressed full support and solidarity with the WPK and the Korean people in the struggle to build a thriving nation and achieve national reunification.
