Boundless reverence for President Kim Il Sung

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 8 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung was a peerlessly great man who made an imperishable contribution to the independence of humankind. He founded the immortal Juche idea to indicate the way of human emancipation for the first time in the history. For nearly 70 years he authored more than 10,800 famous works, an ideological and theoretical wealth common to the humankind, to give perfect answers to the theoretical and practical issues arising at all the stages of revolution.
    In particular, he gave a powerful stimulus to the forward movement of the times for independence through his energetic external activities for the victory of the socialist cause, the strengthening and development of the non-aligned movement, the peace of the world and the friendship and solidarity among the peoples.
    He, thus, enjoyed boundless respect from the progressive people across the world.
    It is illustrated well by the fact that he was awarded more than 180 highest orders and medals from 70 odd countries and international organizations and presented with over 165,920 pieces of gifts from party and state leaders and individuals of 169 countries, and Koreans abroad and in the south.
    Over 24,570,000 copies of his works were published in 60 odd national languages in more than 110 countries. Some 480 streets, institutions, organs and organizations of more than a hundred countries were named after him.
    The president's reminiscences "With the Century" has been disseminated in more than 160 countries to be read by hundreds of millions of people.
    The progressive people's reverence for the president has never been dampened even after his demise. In eight years after his demise, heads of state and government, leaders of political parties and organizations, and public figures of various strata in nearly 200 countries sent some 150 pieces of gifts to him with best wishes for his eternal life, highly praising him as the eternal sun of the humankind.
    Organizations for remembering Kim Il Sung have been formed in Democratic Congo, Uganda, Guinea, Tanzania and many other countries to observe his death anniversary.
