DPRK leader Kim Il Sung remembered in Cuba

Havana, Jul 8 (RHC) The Secretary of Organization of the Communist Party of Cuba, Roberto Morales, today recalled the legacy of the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Il Sung, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his physical departure.

Through his X account, Morales emphasized that the friendship between Kim Il Sung and the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, "is an indelible part of the heritage that constitutes the firm foundation of our inter-party relations.

Born on April 15, 1912 and died on July 8, 1994, Kim Il Sung was the creator of the Juche ideology and supreme leader of the DPRK from its founding in 1948 until his death in 1994.
