Present at the seminar were figures of political parties and organizations and followers of the Juche idea in Germany.

Torsten Schoevitz, chief of the German Group for the Study of Works of Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il, said:

Last year was a significant year when the Korean people left big traces in the work to glorify the revolutionary exploits of leader Kim Jong Il for all ages under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

The Korean people successfully carried out the behests of Kim Jong Il by launching a satellite in the run-up to the first anniversary of his demise.

Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address set forth the tasks to bring about a radical turn in the building of an economic giant with the same spirit and mettle as were displayed in conquering space.

The West will see again the DPRK prove the justice of its cause in practice this year.

The chief of the Hannover Group for the Study of the Juche Idea in Germany said:

Kim Jong Il in his lifetime unrolled a plan for building a thriving nation and laid solid foundations for it.

The Korean people set a higher goal with redoubled efforts and are working hard to attain it despite the imperialists' moves to stifle the DPRK.

The launch of satellite is part of their efforts.

The New Year Address made by Kim Jong Un evoked lively response among international public circles.

I hope the Korean people will certainly implement the tasks set forth in the New Year Address under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.

A message to him was adopted at the seminar.
