Kim Il Sung's Exploits Lauded by Personages of Myanmar, Syria
Pyongyang, April 20 (KCNA) -- Personages of Myanmar and Syria issued statements on April 9 and 12 on the occasion of the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung (the Day of the Sun).

Aung Thein Lynn, member of the Central Executive Committee of the Union Solidarity and Development Party of Myanmar, said:

Kim Il Sung was a great leader and invincible and iron-willed commander who defeated U.S. and Japanese imperialisms, built the DPRK into a strong socialist fortress and performed undying exploits for the prosperity of the country and global independence.

The dear respected Kim Jong Un, who has creditably carried forward the cause of Kim Il Sung and general secretary Kim Jong Il, is wisely leading the Korean people in their efforts to build a thriving nation and reunify the country.

The party, army and people of the DPRK will surely achieve victory in showdown with imperialism and build a thriving nation as they are under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.

Saber Ballul, department head of the Political Faculty of the University of Damascus in Syria, said:

Kim Il Sung was a world-famous political elder who performed great exploits in the history of human thought.

He is always alive in the hearts of not only the Korean people but also progressive humankind.

The U.S. and its lackeys are now staging nuclear war drills against the DPRK, straining the situation on the Korean Peninsula to an extreme phase.

The decisive measures taken by the DPRK against their moves are to protect the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation.

We extend firm solidarity to the service personnel and people of the DPRK courageously standing up against their moves, single-mindedly united around Marshal Kim Jong Un.
