The chairman of the Switzerland-Korea Committee noted that under the distinguished leadership of Generalissimo Kim Il Sung the Korean people defeated the U.S. imperialists and won a shinning victory in the three-year Fatherland Liberation War.

Today the DPRK has turned into an impregnable stronghold thanks to the Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il and the unity and cohesion of the party, the army and the people closely rallied around the leader, he said.

The chief of the French Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Idea said it would have been unthinkable without the extraordinary commanding art of Kim Il Sung that the DPRK reduced to submission the U.S. which boasted of being the "strongest" in the world.

The chairman of the Group for the Study of Kim Jong Il Juche Idea of Democratic Congo said that the army and people of the DPRK inflicted a bitter defeat upon the U.S. imperialists by fighting heroically, united as one around Kim Il Sung. The Korean people's brilliant victory was entirely attributable to his gifted military strategy and tactics and wise leadership, he said.
