Mr. Victor Jancovic,
Chairman of the Serbian Preparatory Committee for celebrating Day of the
Shining Star and Chairman of the Serbian National Committee on the Study of the
Juche Idea addressed as follows:
“February
16 is the birthday of Kim Jong Il, eternal Chairman of the National
Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
When the day
comes round every year, many people of the world recall him with deep emotion.
Kim
Jong Il
devoted his whole life for the cause of global peace.
He led
the struggle to build a new world free from aggression and war upholding the
banner of anti-imperialist independence.
In the
closing period of the last century when many socialist countries collapsed, he
wrote many works including The Historical
Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party (January
1992), Abuses of Socialism Are
Intolerable (March 1993) and Socialism
Is a Science (November 1994), scientifically proving the truthfulness,
validity and inevitability of the socialist cause and dealing resolute blows to
those who were trying to block the cause of global independence.
At the
time even the so-called big countries were trying to avoid outrageous
high-handedness and arbitrariness of the imperialists, but Kim Jong Il
dealt decisive blows to them and defended independence and socialism of his
country.
Whenever
the situation of the Korean peninsula, one of the hot spots in the world, was
brought to the brink of war, he confronted the threat of aggression and
high-handedness of the hostile forces with a harder-line approach, disheartening
the enemies and honorably defending the sovereignty and dignity of his country.
In the 1990s
when the situation was teetering on the brink of war, the DPRK gave a fatal
blow to the hostile forces by issuing a bombshell declaration of withdrawal
from the NPT, making a breach in the old international order based on the superiority
of strength, and ushering in a new age for the cause of global independence and
peace.
Kim
Jong Il
was a peerlessly great man, whom everyone got fascinated with.
He
actively engaged in external activities for the development of the
international relations and for the unity among states and nations; in his
lifetime he met many heads of state and party and even many of the countries
hostile to the DPRK, including former
Those who
met him even once all got attracted to his intelligent and scientific view and
great personality, irrespective of their nationalities, religious beliefs,
ideas and political views.
He
strengthened and developed the bond of friendship with many countries of the
world under the ideals of independence, friendship and peace.
His several
rounds of visit to China and Russia and the fruits of his devoted efforts like
the DPRK-Russia Moscow Declaration exerted great influence to the development
of international relations and political situation of the world. Thanks to the
devoted efforts, the cause of global peace advanced vigorously along the road
of independence.
Kim
Jong Il
defended the blue sky over the planet and the mankind on the strength of
Songun.
He
challenged the old political structure of the world, characterized by
domination, subjugation, aggression and high-handedness, with his unique Songun
politics, firmly defending peace and security of the Korean peninsula,
It is a
logical conclusion that the start of a war on the Korean peninsula, a gate and
bridgehead to the Asian Continent and one of the hottest spots in the world, would
lead immediately to the start of another world war, bringing damage to the whole
world. However, a third world war or thermonuclear war did not break out.
Then, who
prevented this war and brought peace to the world?
To this
historical question, Vishwanath, a former political figure of
If, and only
if, a war had broken out on the Korean peninsula, no one could have imagined
the three major transformations–the highest level of material prosperity,
technological advance and spiritual civilization–achieved by many countries for
more than half a century under the blue sky.
This
exploit achieved by Kim Jong Il indeed made mankind advance one or two
centuries forward.
The
exploits of Chairman Kim Jong Il will shine for ever in memory of many
people of the world.”
Following the meeting, all participants watched the Koran documentary film “Eternal Sun of People”.
