Kim Jong Il's Songun Leadership Praised
Pyongyang, September 1 (KCNA) -- A meeting and an opening ceremony of a Korean book, photo and handicraft exhibition took place in Russia and India, film shows and photo exhibitions in Mongolia and Myanmar and a national seminar of Juche idea study organizations in Uganda between August 20 and 25 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 on the immortal revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, publications introducing the true picture of Songun Korea and handiworks associated with the creative talents of the Korean people.

The participants of the film shows watched Korean films such as "Reply of Korea," "Army of Korea" and "Fireworks for a Thriving Nation."

Speeches were made at the events.

The chairman of the Russian Association for the Study of the Juche Idea said that Songun is a traditional political mode of socialist Korea, referring to the fact that Kim Il Sung founded the army before anything else and liberated the country by conducting the anti-Japanese war and then achieved the cause of party and state building. He added that Kim Jong Il has defended the sovereignty and dignity of the country and reliably defended peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia with his Songun leadership.

The chairman of the Juche Philosophy Study Committee of India stressed that the Korean people could advance under the uplifted banner of socialism without any vacillation thanks to the powerful military capacity provided by the Songun politics.
