Day of Sun Celebrated in Different Countries
Pyongyang, April 18 (KCNA) -- Events took place in different countries to celebrate the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung (the Day of the Sun).

They included meetings in Russia, Cuba and Iran, lecture in Tanzania and film shows in Thailand and Austria from April 9 to 11.

Displayed in the venues of the events were photos showing the noble revolutionary careers and undying feats of Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and revolutionary activities of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

Also on display there were works of the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu and books dealing with their personalities.

Korean films shown included "Arms of Korea".

The chairman of the Russian Association for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK in his speech praised Kim Il Sung as iron-willed brilliant commander who led the anti-Japanese armed struggle, liberating Korea, and led the Fatherland Liberation War to victory, bringing about the beginning of decline for the U.S. imperialists.

The greatest feat Kim Il Sung performed was that he successfully settled the issue of the succession to the revolutionary cause of Juche, he stressed.

The first vice-chairman of the Cuban Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification lauded Kim Il Sung for turning the DPRK into a socialist power independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence, and performing undying feats in carrying out the cause of national reunification and the human cause of independence.

The chairman of the Tanzanian National Coordinating Committee of the Juche Idea Study Groups said Kim Il Sung was a great thinker and theoretician who founded the Juche idea, clearly indicating the way to be followed by mankind in the era of independence.

A congratulatory message to Kim Jong Un was adopted at the event in Austria.
