Anniversary of Songun Leadership Marked
Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- Meetings, seminars, lectures, ceremonies of opening book and photo exhibition week and film shows were held in the UK, Ethiopia, Uganda and Indonesia and by the Secretariat of the Pan-African Movement between August 12 and 19 to mark the 50th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's start of the Songun revolutionary leadership.

Displayed in their venues were books and photos showing the Songun leadership feats of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Speeches were made at the events.

The chairman of the British Association for the Study of Songun Policy said at a meeting that the DPRK has turned into a socialist state, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence, always emerging victorious in the acute struggle against imperialism.

The secretary general of the Ethiopian Youth Study Group of the Juche Idea noted at the seminar that the recent shining successes made in the DPRK go to clearly prove the Songun leadership feats of Kim Jong Il.

The chairman of the Kampala City Committee of the Uganda National Resistance Movement said in a lecture that the Songun leadership provided by Kim Jong Il serves as a fundamental factor of enabling the DPRK to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country and emerge victorious in the stand-off with the U.S.

The chairman of the National Guidance Council of the Pioneer Party of Indonesia stressed at a film show that thanks to the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il the DPRK has turned into a military power which no formidable enemy dares attack and that the Korean people will always triumph under his Songun leadership.

Appreciated at the film shows were "Fireworks for a Thriving Nation", "Reply of Korea" and other Korean films.
