A secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Handicraft Industry and Tourism of Mali said:

President Kim Il Sung explored the way of building a people's power which protects and serves the interests of the popular masses from an independent stand, not wedded to the established theories and foreign experience.

The DPRK beat back invasion by the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being the "strongest" in the world and their vassal forces in the Korean War which broke out in less than two years since the founding of the DPRK and honorably defended its sovereignty and dignity.

President Kim Il Sung is still alive in the hearts of not only the Korean people but also progressive mankind.

The general director of an Angolan company praised leader Kim Jong Il for turning the DPRK into a nuclear weapons state under the unfurled banner of Songun.
