“I was often asked this question from public figures in my country and abroad. What is Comrade Kim Il Sung like? This was my answer to this question. He is always among the people, not in his palace and finds his life worth living in his informal talks with them. He pressed the trigger without hesitation in the fierce bloody battle for national liberation and people’s freedom and perspired in the days of socialist construction. He dissected once for all and intelligently the complicated international affairs and made clear their essences…. In one word, I used to give my answer that he was the greatest of the great men and the great leader of the world.”

Honorary President Jose Francisco Aguilar Bulgarelli of the Latin American Institute of the Juche Idea
