Rodong Sinmun Praises Feats of Fidel Castro Ruz

Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday carries an article on the demise of Fidel Castro Ruz, supreme leader of the Cuban revolution. It says: Upon hearing this sad news, the Korean people are overcome with deep sorrow together with the revolutionary Cuban people and expressing deep condolences to the party, government and people of Cuba and the bereaved families over his demise. His demise is a great loss to the Cuban people and the progressives of the world struggling for socialism and justice. Fidel Castro Ruz is a revolutionary fighter as he built the first socialist system in the Western Hemisphere of the earth and devoted his whole life to the prosperity of the country and its people's happiness. The shining successes the Cuban people have made in socialist construction are directly linked with his name. He was an outstanding revolutionary who achieved the victory of the Cuban revolution by waging a bloody struggle with arms in hand in his early years. The victory of the Cuban revolution and the eye-opening changes that took place in the land of Cuba would have been unthinkable without the arduous armed struggle and unerring leadership of Fidel Castro Ruz. The Cuban people will always remember this and surely build a prosperous ideal society of the people and achieve the victory of the socialist cause, true to his lifetime intention. -0-
