Anniversaries of DPRK Observed Abroad
Pyongyang, December 20 (KCNA) -- A seminar took place in Pakistan and a film show in Thailand between December 10 and 13 on the occasions of the 19th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's gaining of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the 93rd birth anniversary of anti-Japanese war hero Kim Jong Suk.

The participants in the film show watched the Korean film "Reply of DPRK".

The secretary general of the Lahore Branch of the Pakistan-Korea Friendship Association said that the nearly two decades were a historic period in which Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il has defended socialism and demonstrated the sovereignty and dignity of the nation by frustrating the U.S.-led imperialist allied forces' offensive to stifle the DPRK with his rare wisdom and preeminent strategy.

He stressed that the KPA is sure to always emerge victorious under his commandership.

The secretary of the Pakistan Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification noted that the Korean people revere Kim Jong Suk so deeply because her career occupies outstanding pages in the modern history of Korea.

She worked heart and soul to bring Kim Jong Il up as a successor loyal to the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by President Kim Il Sung and a true son of the country and its people, the secretary said, and went on:

Her august name will always remain shining along with Kim Il Sung's Korea and Kim Jong Il's Korea.
