They included a seminar and film show in Brazil, a photo exhibition in South Africa and film shows in Thailand and the Czech Republic in the period between July 25 and August 1.

The chairperson of the Brazilian Committee for Remembering Leader Kim Jong Il cited the brilliant successes achieved by the DPRK to highly praise the undying exploits President Kim Il Sung performed by winning the war and the Songun leadership feats of Kim Jong Il.

The curator and deputy curator of the Pretoria City Library in South Africa lauded Kim Il Sung for resolutely foiling the enemy forces' numerical and technical superiority with his outstanding stratagem, matchless pluck and tested commanding art and shattering their myth of "mightiness" during the war.

The director of the Mariners' Ship and Commerce Company in Thailand said the DPRK's victory in the war was a victory of the wise military idea, original strategy, tactics and war methods of Generalissimo Kim Il Sung and a victory of the indomitable fighting spirit of the service personnel and people of the DPRK united close around their leader.

The director of another company in Thailand said Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il put forth the Songun idea, successfully applied it in practice and thus turned the DPRK into a full-fledged politico-ideological power and military power.
