Kim Il Sung Praised in Ecuador
Pyongyang, July 22 (KCNA) -- The Ecuadorian national preparatory committee for commemorating the centenary of birth of President Kim Il Sung issued a bulletin on July 16 on the occasion of the 16th anniversary of his demise.

The bulletin in an article titled "Kim Il Sung, the eternal sun of the DPRK" said that the President embarked on the road of the revolution in his teens and founded the immortal Juche idea, the guideline for the human cause of independence.

It went on:

The DPRK, founded by the President, was turned into a socialist state that embodied the principles of independence in politics, self-support in the economy and self-reliance in national defence.

He is the gifted strategist who defeated the two U.S. and Japanese imperialisms.

It is his lifelong desire and the steadfast will of General Secretary Kim Jong Il to achieve the country's reunification independently and peacefully.

We actively support the DPRK's efforts for national reunification and call upon the progressive mankind to extend full solidarity to the Korean people's cause of justice.
