Kim Jong Il's Birth Anniversary Celebrated in Different Countries
Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- Events took place in different countries to celebrate the birth anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il.

A reading session on a work of Marshal Kim Jong Un was held in Nigeria and round-table talks in Angola and Germany on Jan. 26 and 28.

The chairman of the Nigerian Group for the Study of the Juche Philosophy read out Kim Jong Un's work "Let Us Step Up the Building of a Thriving Country by Applying Kim Jong Il's Patriotism", and said:

Kim Jong Il loved the country and its people more warmly than anyone else and devoted his whole life to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of its people.

Thanks to his wise leadership, Korea, a weak colonial country one century ago, has demonstrated its might as a worldwide military power with matchless military capabilities.

The appearance of the DPRK has been face-lifted and the eternal foundation for building a thriving nation provided thanks to his long journey of patriotic devotion.

The chief of a special project room of the Angolan Presidency said that Kim Jong Il defended the dignity of the nation and the sovereignty of the country and consolidated the single-minded unity by pursuing his Songun politics.

His great career and feats will shine long as he devoted his all to justice, truth and the cause of independence, the chief noted.

The chairman of the Anti-Imperialist Forum of Germany said that the reverence for Kim Jong Il is growing stronger on the threshold of the Day of the Shining Star (his birth anniversary). He went on:

Kim Jong Il brought the happiness of the people into bloom and opened up the bright future of mankind.

He turned the DPRK into a military power with nuclear deterrent with his extraordinary military wisdom and resolute determination.

The DPRK is becoming a beacon of hope for world progressives.
