Significant Days of DPRK Commemorated Abroad
Pyongyang, April 5 (KCNA) -- Seminars were held in Switzerland and South Africa on March 26 to commemorate the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung and the 79th birthday of the Korean People's Army.

Present there were personages of the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea, the Group for the Study of the Progressive Ideas and the Democratic Teachers Union of South Africa and popular masses.

At the seminar on Kim Il Sung's work "On the Occasion of Founding the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army" Martin Lotscher, chairman of the Swiss Group, said:

It was thanks to the President that the Korean people could achieve the liberation of the country, win in the Fatherland Liberation War against the aggression by the U.S. imperialists and reliably defend socialism while smashing the imperialists' moves against the DPRK.

General Secretary Kim Jong Il has creditably carried forward the idea and cause of the President.

He always leads Korean-style socialism to victory with his invincible Songun politics.

Eddie Kekana, chairman of the South African Group, said at the seminar on the theme of "President Kim Il Sung, Father of the People":

The President made incessant journey of field guidance by train for the people in the period of peaceful construction.

He even pushed the car mired in a muddy road to continue his journey, saying that he should visit everywhere the people live. Such legendary story has been well known to the world people.

He was such a great person that the Korean people always remember and revere him though many years have passed.

A letter to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar in Switzerland.
