Speeches were made there.

Fodeba Keira Isto, minister of Art and Culture of Guinea, referred to the fact that the more than 40 year-long history of revolutionary activities of Kim Jong Il shines as a heroic epic of a peerlessly great man as he laid a solid foundation for socialist construction by successfully inheriting the cause of President Kim Il Sung, won a victory in safeguarding socialism holding high the banner of Songun and opened a glorious history of building a great prosperous and powerful nation.

Banou Keita, chairman of the Guinea-Korea Friendship Association, said that the world progressives are highly praising him as the greatest statesman in the modern times as he has provided outstanding and seasoned leadership to the Party, the state and the army.

Hannu Harju, chairman of the Communist Workers' Party of Finland for the Peace and Socialism, noted with appreciation that the Songun politics of the DPRK is a treasured sword of justice for reliably guaranteeing the country's security and socialist construction while standing firm against the imperialists' ceaseless political interference and war threats.

A message of greetings to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the meeting in Finland.
