The Iranian charge d’affaires said in his speech that President Kim Il Sung who liberated the Korean people from the foreign domination made an immortal contribution to strengthening and developing the non-aligned movement.

He noted that the election of Kim Jong Il as chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission provided a sure guarantee for the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by Kim Il Sung.

The Iranian government and people extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle against imperialism and for achieving the country’s reunification, he stressed.

Yang Hyong Sop in his speech noted that the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by Kim Il Sung has been successfully carried forward by Kim Jong Il, adding that the Korean people would wage a dynamic struggle under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.

He said that the friendly and cooperative relations between the DPRK and Iran provided by Kim Il Sung together with the top leaders of Iran have grown stronger under the deep care of the leaders of the two countries.

He noted that the Korean people would as ever boost the friendly and cooperative relations with the Iranian people in their efforts to reinforce the national defence power to cope with the U.S. high-handed and arbitrary practices and develop the national economy.
