Kim Il Sung Praised by World: French Organization
Pyongyang, July 22 (KCNA) -- The France-Korea Friendship Association posted on its Internet homepage an article praising President Kim Il Sung on July 8, the 18th anniversary of his demise. It was illustrated with a photo of him receiving Wilfred Burchett, former writer and journalist of Australia.

The article said:

The President received many foreign figures in his lifetime. Wilfred Burchett, a Korean war correspondent, was one of them. Burchett hailed the constant efforts made by the President to develop the country's economy and improve the standard of people's living. Industrial establishments and farms in the DPRK he visited were those associated with the relics of the President's on-the-spot guidance.

Burchett in his travelogue highly praised the President as the great leader who enjoyed absolute support and trust of the Korean people and wrote that the DPRK turned into a rich and powerful, independent and sovereign state under his wise leadership.

The undying feats the President performed for socialist construction in the DPRK and the cause of global independence will always be remembered in the hearts of the Korean people and progressive mankind. The world is highly praising him.

The association will conduct positive activities for introducing the noble career and great contributions by the President who is revered by all people.
