President Kim Il Sung performed undying exploits for accomplishing the cause of global independence under the uplifted banner of independence during the whole period of his life.

He put forward unique ideas and theories for global independence in line with the new historical environment in which the people intensified the struggle for independence more than ever before and it had become the trend of the times for the world to move along the road of independence.

In his policy speech “Tasks of the Peoples’ Government in Modelling the Whole Society on the Juche Idea” delivered at the Joint Meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in April 1982, the President formulated that an independent world means a world where all forms of dominationism and colonialism have been wiped out and the sovereignty of all countries and nations is fully granted.

As he clarified the aspects and features of the independent world, the struggle of the people for independence was conducted purposefully with correct goals.

In his works including “The Life of a Revolutionary Should Begin with Struggle and End with Struggle” published in April 1982 and “Enhancing the Role of the Masses of the People Is the Guarantee for Victory in the Cause of Independence” published in April 1992, he said that the peoples of all countries who champion independence should work together and closely unite and cooperate with each other in order to successfully achieve the cause of global independence. And he noted that though the socio-historical conditions and environments differed from country to country, the people of the world would be able to unite and become a great force that could put an end to the old world and create a new independent world if they based themselves on the noble ideals common to mankind.

He also said that all countries and nations should work hard to achieve global independence by successfully maintaining independence at the talk with the chairman of the Finnish People’s Democratic League on April 9 1982 and in his speeches at the banquet in honour of the delegates to the World Conference of Journalists against Imperialism and for Friendship and Peace on July 3 1983 and at the reception in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the DPRK on September 9 1983.

The Vienna Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism in Austria published a bulletin titled “Kim Il Sung, undying exploits for the cause of global independence”, in which it highly praised that President Kim Il Sung is the founding father of not only socialist Korea, but also independent humankind who clarified the idea on global independence for the first time in history.

The secretary-general of the Karachi branch of the Pakistan-DPRK Friendship Association said that the ideology and exploits of the President are the guidelines of struggle indicating the path to be followed by progressive humankind and the immortal banner of socialist construction and that he devoted his whole life to accomplishing the cause of global independence.

President Kim Il Sung, who put forward the idea on making the whole world independent with his extraordinary ideological and theoretical intelligence and led the current of history to independence in the 20th century, will live in the minds of progressive mankind forever as a world’s veteran statesman and outstanding leader of the cause of independence of mankind.
