Pyongyang, December 22 (KCNA) -- A rally was held in Romania and round-table talks and film shows in China and Iran on Dec. 16 on the occasions of the 18th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's assumption of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the 92nd birth anniversary of anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk.

The chairman of the Romanian Socialist Union said at the rally that Kim Jong Suk was a revolutionary soldier most faithful to President Kim Il Sung and a competent political operative, a crack shot and a great paragon of the women's emancipation movement.

The Korean people have resolutely foiled every move on the part of the U.S. and other imperialists with the might of Songun and firmly defended socialist Korea, legacy bequeathed by the President, as they are led by KPA Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il, the chairman said, adding: They are now waging a dynamic struggle to open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation in 2012, the centenary of birth of the President.

The chairman of the International Relations Committee of the Iran Parties House said at the show of Korean film "Fireworks for a Thriving Nation" that it is entirely thanks to the seasoned leadership of Kim Jong Il possessed of matchless pluck and grit that the KPA is demonstrating its might as an invincible army.

He said that after embarking upon the road of revolution in her early years Kim Jong Suk devotedly defended Kim Il Sung with her life in the struggle to liberate Korea and energetically worked to realize his cause till the last moments of her life.
