Celebrations Held in Different Countries
Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- A seminar was held in Bulgaria, a lecture in South Africa and a briefing in Indonesia on June 9 and 11 on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Displayed in the venues of the events were works of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, photos showing their feats of the Songun revolutionary leadership and books and photos introducing the DPRK.

Lyudmil Kostadinov, chief of the Bulgarian Group for the Study of the Juche Idea who is member of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party, said in detail that Kim Jong Il published many works including "Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism" and "On Preserving the Juche Character and National Character of the Revolution and Construction" and has consolidated the country's defence capacity as firm as iron wall with his original Songun politics in order to frustrate the imperialists' anti-DPRK and anti-socialist moves.

Eddie Kekana, chairman of the Group for the Study of the Progressive Ideas of South Africa and chairman of the Pretoria Branch Democratic Teachers Union of South Africa, stressed that Kim Jong Il's love for the people is reflected in all the wealth and creations of the country and this has become the main source for the single-minded unity.

Ristiyanto, general secretary of the National Guidance Council of the Vanguard Party of Indonesia, said that Kim Jong Il's leadership is an ever-victorious leadership, adding that as he has led the WPK and the state, the DPRK turned into a political and military power that any formidable enemy including the U.S. dares not provoke.
