Condolences:

We Shall Never Forget Dr. Vishwanath,
Director General of IIJI Board,
Who Lived to Very End along Path of Juche

   It is regretful that Dr. Vishwanath, director general of the IIJI Board, who had led the study and dissemination of the Juche idea at the vanguard, while exerting great influence on Juche idea researchers throughout the world, passed away on February 11, 2014.
   His untimely demise has given a great shock and deep sorrow to those Juche idea researchers and the progressive people in the world.
   Director General Vishwanath was born in India on September 15, 1926.
   He continued to tread only the path of Juche for some half a century from the time when he came across with the Juche idea in the 1960s.
   Since being elected director general of the IIJI Board in April 2000, Dr. Vishwanath had discharged his responsibilities as such, and fulfilled them to the end, while not only having been active in India but also in the world.
   He visited the DPRK in February, April and July in 2013. Since the beginning of this year, even on his sickbed, he talked his intention of visiting the DPRK around the coming February 16.
   His memory will remain in the hearts of the world people for all time, and they will live their lives with his wishes in mind.
   We cordially pray for the repose of Dr. Vishwanath's soul.

   After hearing the sad news of the demise of Director General Vishwanath, many condolence messages from Juche idea researchers in the world were sent to us. (Click)
