Kim Jong Il's Birthday Celebrated
Pyongyang, January 29 (KCNA) -- A seminar took place in Mongolia and film shows in Russia on Jan. 19 and 20 on the occasion of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's birthday.

Participants in the film shows watched Korean films "Party Founding Memorial Tower" and "Mt. Kuwol, Scenic Spot on West Coast."

Ch. Bayarbat, executive chairman of the Mongolian Centre for the Study of Juche, and O. Sukhbatar, vice-rector of the Mongolian Chinggis Khan College, said that the DPRK has turned into a power today because President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il wisely led the work for the country's prosperity.

Semyonov, chairman of the Russian Association for the Development of Friendship and Cooperation with Foreign Countries, noted that Kim Jong Il shattered the strategy of the U.S. imperialists for world domination, setting an example in the struggle for building an independent new world desired by humankind.

One can hardly find in any other part of the world such country as the DPRK which has legitimately exercised the dignity and sovereignty of the nation, standing in confrontation with the U.S. single-handed, though small in territory and population, he added.
