Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- Remembrance meetings took place in Poland, Romania, Iceland and Malaysia in the period between July 5 and 7 on the occasion of the 19th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung.

Present there were figures of various circles and masses in the relevant countries.

Slaboy January Guzowski, chairman of the Central Committee of the Poland-Korea Association, praised Kim Il Sung as a distinguished leader possessed of all qualities as a statesman.

He said that Kim Il Sung recalled all the former university students from the front to pursue their study during the past Korean war, a clear proof of his far-sighted wisdom and the personality as a great man who made sure that all work was oriented to future.

The chairman of the Tradition Association of the Polish People's Army noted that the greatest exploits performed by Kim Il Sung was that he successfully solved the issue of his successor.

He went on:

The DPRK has successfully carried forward the strategy and line set forth by Kim Il Sung despite the old generation is replaced by the young. As a result, the DPRK emerged a nuclear weapons state in the world.

The DPRK showed in practice that if it is to protect its ideology and dignity, it should have powerful military muscle without fail.

The moves of the U.S. and its allies to stifle the DPRK are meeting only repeated setbacks in face of the DPRK strong in independence.

The just cause of the Korean people is sure to win as they are led by the dear respected Kim Jong Un who is carrying forward the idea and cause of Kim Il Sung and general secretary Kim Jong Il.

Jon Arni Halldorsson, general secretary of the Iceland-DPRK Friendship and Cultural Society, said that Kim Il Sung was a great revolutionary who devoted his all to the prosperity of the country, national reunification and the accomplishment of the human cause of independence, adding that he always lives in the hearts of the progressive people.

The manager of a Malaysian company praised Kim Il Sung for his popular character, saying that he was the tender-hearted father of the Korean people as he dedicated his all to the people, believing in them as in Heaven.

A message to Kim Jong Un was adopted at the meeting held in Poland.
