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 US
President Clinton, Secretary of State Albright, and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro
Koizumi.
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, Northeast Asia and the rest of the
world. As many politicians and political figures recognized, his most outstanding exploit
was that he prevented the outbreak of a thermonuclear war and saved billions of people
from the crisis of nuclear catastrophe.
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 India, answered: It
was none other than Chairman Kim Jong Il, a world-famous military commander, who
prevented the war and ensured global peace for over half a century by turning his country
into one with matchless military strength.
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.
