Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung is praised in the world for his great contribution to the cause of humankind's independence with the approach of his birth anniversary, the Day of the Sun (April 15)-. The Indian National Seminar on the Independent Development in the Present World was held in New Delhi recently to commemorate the Day of the Sun with the participation of prominent public figures.
    The speakers at the seminar unanimously eulogized Kim Il Sung as an outstanding thinker and statesman produced by the 20th century. They said that the founding of the immortal Juche idea is the greatest of his exploits and that the idea serves as the immortal banner in the new era of independence.
    The preparatory committees formed in many countries to commemorate the Day of the Sun are sponsoring colorful activities and newspapers and radios of different countries are editing special write-ups lauding Kim Il Sung, who made a tremendous contribution to the cause of independence, as the sun of humankind.
    He embarked on the road of revolution in his early years and fathered the Juche idea in 1930 and thus performed distinguished exploits for the Korean revolution and the struggle for the liberation of humankind.
    Under the banner of the Juche idea, he led the two wars against the U.S. and Japanese imperialists to victory, creating a brilliant example in the national liberation movement in colonies and the anti-imperialist cause of independence.
    He set forth the slogan "The World People Advocating Independence, Unite!" in reflection of the demand of the new era and clearly indicated the road to be taken by the progressive people with his great ideological and theoretical activities.
    He authored many works including "The Path of the Korean Revolution" in 1930, "Our Righteous Joint Struggle Is Victorious" in 1952, "The Non-aligned Movement Is a Mighty Anti-Imperialist Revolutionary Force of Our Times" in 1975 and "Enhancing the Role of the Popular Masses Is the Guarantee for Victory in the Cause of Independence" in 1992. He, in the works, expounded in a comprehensive and systematic way the essence of the revolution and its historical inevitability, tasks and ways for the independence of the whole world.
    In particular, the target and basic strategy of the world revolution, theory on the formation of a worldwide united front against imperalism, etc. are precious guidelines for the people of other countries who are fighting against imperialism and dominationism and for building a peaceful new world.
    The President waged an uncompromising struggle against aggression and interference by the imperialists and all forms of dominationism infringing upon the independence of the popular masses. And he rendered unstinted spiritual and material support to the people of other countries in their national liberation struggle and efforts for economic development.
    For 50 years from Juche 34 (1945) to the last moments of his life, he met more than 400 party, state and government leaders of different countries for the cause of independence.
