The chairman of the Paektusan Czech-Korean Friendship Association said:

Kim Jong Il performed distinguished feats for socialist construction and the human cause of independence while leading the Korean revolution for a long period.

He developed in depth the Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung as required by the times and the developing revolution, foiled the imperialist allied forces' moves to stifle the DPRK and defended Korean-style socialism by pursuing the Songun politics.

It was thanks to the Songun politics that peace and security have been firmly ensured on the Korean Peninsula, the region and the rest of the world.

He is always alive in the hearts of all people for the greatness of his idea and leadership, his ardent love for the people and his exploits.

A new heyday of the building of a thriving socialist nation is ushered in the DPRK under the guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un who is successfully carrying forward the cause of Kim Jong Il.

The chief designer of a metal and machine general company of Ethiopia said after watching the Korean film "Arms of Korea":

Kim Jong Il firmly protected the sovereignty and dignity of the country and turned the DPRK into a nuclear weapons state and satellite manufacturer and launcher with his Songun politics.

I realized that his wise leadership helped turn the DPRK into an invincible military power.
