Day of Shining Star to Be Commemorated in Russia
Pyongyang, February 7 (KCNA) -- Remembrance meetings and book and photo exhibitions and film shows took place in Nakhodka and at the Gagarin Branch of S. Empe Bank of Russia on Jan. 24 and 27 on the occasion of the birth anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il.

On display in the venues of the events were books and photos showing the undying exploits of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Their participants watched Korean films including "Reply of Korea."

The mayor of Nakhodka City said the noble image of Kim Jong Il who made great efforts for the development of the friendly relations between the DPRK and Russia, Maritime Territory of Russia in particular, would always be remembered by the Russian people.

The future of the DPRK is bright and promising as it holds the dear respected Kim Jong Un, faithful successor to his cause, in high esteem as the supreme leader, he added.

The mayor of Pokino City said Kim Jong Il developed and strengthened the Korean People's Army into an invincible army and mainstay and main force of the revolution taking the lead in upholding the Songun leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The chairman of the Nakhodka City Assembly noted that Kim Jong Il was a guardian of justice and outstanding leader as he conducted energetic activities for peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world.

The manager of the branch of the bank said the film show offered an opportunity to clearly realize why the high-handed practices and pressures of the U.S. cannot work on the DPRK, expressing the belief that the Korean people would surely emerge successful in the building of a thriving nation under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
