DPRK's Important Days Marked in Switzerland, Malaysia
Pyongyang, August 18 (KCNA) -- Meetings, book and photo exhibitions and film shows took place in Switzerland and Malaysia on August 9 and 10 to mark the 53rd anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of the Songun revolutionary leadership and the 68th anniversary of Korea's liberation.

Films shown included Korean films "The Arch of Triumph" and "Arms of Korea".

The chairman of the Switzerland-Korea Committee said:

Generalissimo Kim Il Sung liberated Korea from the Japanese imperialists' atrocious colonial rule.

After the liberation of the country he founded the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK, developed the Korean People's Revolutionary Army into regular armed forces and thus laid firm foundations for a final victory of the Korean revolution.

Generalissimo Kim Jong Il started his Songun revolutionary leadership with his field guidance to the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division of the Korean People's Army 53 years ago.

Kim Jong Il, who is identical to Kim Il Sung, resolutely shattered the vicious moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean group of traitors against the DPRK through his Songun revolutionary leadership and turned the DPRK into a military power no aggressor dares to provoke.

A congratulatory message to Marshal Kim Jong Un was adopted at the meeting in Switzerland.
