Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- Lectures were given in Democratic Congo, Thailand and India on June 8 and 9 on the occasion of the 47th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's start of his work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Displayed in the venues were books and photographs of the DPRK dealing with the immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

The vice-chairman of the Youth Group for the Study of the Juche Idea in Democratic Congo said that Kim Jong Il has further glorified the Juche idea founded by the President as the guiding idea of the era through his indefatigable ideological and theoretical activities and protected the socialist cause with his Songun politics, frustrating the sanctions and blockade of the imperialist allied forces.

He recalled that Kim Jong Il has brought about an epochal turn in building a thriving nation and provided the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration, opening a bright prospect for reunification.

The chairman of the Organization for the Study of the Juche Idea of Thailand highly praised Kim Jong Il as a peerless political elder, noting that under his leadership the WPK has developed into a great guide steering the DPRK to a bright future.

A room chief of the Indian Institute of National Information and Technology noted that Kim Jong Il has led the drive of the army and people of the DPRK to build a thriving nation to victory by making endless journeys for field guidance.
