Report of Online Meeting about the KFA International Meeting 02.12.2025

The Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) held a successful online meeting to report back from the KFA International meeting in Granada ,Spain . Participating were members of KFA UK from London , Scotland , Shropshire and other parts of UK as well as guests from KFA Andalusia (Spain ),KFA Cambodia , KFA Germany , the People’s Korea Initiative of Poland and guests from other countries.

Dr Dermot Hudson Chairman of KFA UK explained how he travelled to Granada , Spain for the KFA International meeting . Granada , Spain was selected as the place for the KFA International meeting because it was in Granada , Spain 25 years ago that the Korean Friendship Association was founded by Alejandro Cao De Benos .

Dr Hudson said that KFA has come a long way since it was founded in 2000 and has never looked back since then .

The KFA International Meeting was held on the 22nd of November on the theme of “ DPRK Beacon of Hope for the World and Mankind “ .It was attended by Spanish KFA members from different regions of Spain as well as international delegates from Germany , Hungary , UK and US ; a total of 5 countries represented . A large number of countries submitted written speeches that were read out .

Dr Hudson quoted from the speech of KFA President Alejandro Cao De Benos which said “ The DPRK is the demonstration of what the human can do, when the selfish and animal traces in man, are set aside for the benefit of the common good.

 A regular word that one can see all around the DPRK is "Rakwon" meaning "Paradise". This is because since the liberation and creation of the republic, the dream of our Eternal President KIM IL SUNG was to create a society that will be sovereign, based on equality, free from exploitation and where the Korean people will live a prosperous life in community. 

 His dream became a reality and it's difficult to understand how such a small country could survive against all threats and wars from the attacking empires. Generalissimo KIM IL SUNG devoted his everything for the good of the people, he never looked for himself and found his happiness by making the others happy. This is an example followed by our Great Leaders KIM JONG IL and KIM JONG UN, and that became the basis of unity and strength of today's DPRK.

 As the world get immersed in inequality, criminality, wars, racial, religious conflict and drugs, the DPRK is free from such diseases. How is it possible? Because the Korean people valued their culture, independence and dignity over imported orders and oppression of the big imperialist powers. The creation of Juche, has shown that only by adapting socialism to the reality and culture of each country, it can be successful in breaking apart from the capitalist decadence.”.

After Dr Hudson’s report some suggestions were made for KFA UK work including the production of T shirts.

The meeting concluded at 1955 hours GMT .

In the Spirit of Self-reliance and Self-sufficiency

  The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Kangwon Provincial Tree Nursery in July 2018 despite the sultry weather.

  Looking round different places of the tree nursery, he expressed satisfaction over the fact that another large-scale sapling production base had been built wonderfully.

  And he highly appreciated that Kangwon Province had completed the huge project in a short period of time and laid solid material and technical foundations for safe sapling production.

  He went on to say:

  The province has perfected all the elements of the tree nursery on the highest level. In this course, the construction forces of the province must have been strengthened and the ranks of skilled workers increased.

  I am very pleased to hear that most of the building materials and finishing building materials for the tree nursery were produced by the province itself and the pieces of equipment necessary for the production of light substrate, selection of seeds and sowing manufactured and installed by the State Academy of Sciences and other relevant organs to ensure the proportion of homemade ones.

  I've looked round the Kangwon Provincial Tree Nursery with great satisfaction. It would not have been so easy to build such a large tree nursery when everything was insufficient and difficult. I really admire it.

  That day Kim Jong Un said the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and self-sufficiency is the driving force enabling us to develop most quickly and our most valuable asset and resources.

  His words represented the philosophy that the way for our country's prosperity and our living lies in displaying the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance.

  Today the Korean people are advancing vigorously towards the overall national prosperity, fully displaying the trait of self-reliance and self-sufficiency.

Fatherly Love Brings Up Posterity

Ten years have passed since Mangyongdae School Children's Palace was renovated into a modern extracurricular education center thanks to the great love of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

Always considerate and paying deep attention to the upbringing of school children, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un saw to it that extracurricular education centers were either renovated or newly built in many parts of the country and modern equipment installed in education facilities as befits the requirement of the new century, contributing to the education and edification of our schoolchildren.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited extracurricular education centers like Songdowon International Children’s Camp, Mangyongdae School Children's Palace and Samjiyon School Children’s Palace and gave detailed instructions related to upbringing of our school children into all-round competent personnel. He also took measures to install modern electronic musical instruments free of cost in all palaces and halls for school children across the country.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that a moment’s delay in the work for our coming generation will result in the tenfold and hundredfold procrastination in the advance of the country, and that no expense should be spared in bringing up of our future generation. Though pressed for time with so many state affairs, he assumed the responsibility of being the father of all school children across the country and studied the samples of “Haebaragi” (sunflower) school things, “Mindulle” (dandelion) note books, “Sonamu” (pine tree) school bags and new school uniforms in person before a complete set of them is provided to every schoolchild across the country.

Indeed, the great love of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un permeates all schools across the country, be they in the capital or provincial areas, in the mountains or farm villages in the north, or in solitary islands in the sea.

Our school children are growing up happy as they reach their full potential and realize their beautiful dreams, whereas many others elsewhere fail to do so though there are so many countries and as many school children around the world.

Ever bright and rosy is the future of our children as they are growing up in the loving care of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un whose greatest joy and reward is the happy laughter of our children.
