The ASSPUK and JISGE issued the following joint statement on the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Korea.
                                          Korea's independence is the greatest gain of the Korean people. On the 15th of August Korea was liberated from Japanese imperialism thanks to the efforts of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. Korea became a nation once again rather than a province of Japan. People were freed from a life of oppression under the jackboots of Japanese imperialism. Under Japanese colonial rule the Korean people had been subjected to extreme brutality by the Japanese imperialists who tried to obliterate the Korean nation. With liberation on August 15th 1945 the Korean people experienced a rebirth. They entered an age of independence, an era of national resurrection. The Korean people became masters of their own destiny.

Korea's independence was secured as a result of the 20 year long anti-Japanese armed struggle under the banner of the immortal Juche idea, the anti-imperialist independent revolutionary idea authored by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. The anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army led by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung had neither a state base or rear to rely on. It's armed struggle was a self-reliant one that embodied the Juche idea . It was also based on the Songun idea that independence and revolution are propelled by force of arms.
      The victorious liberation struggle of the Korean people led by the great leader generalissimo Kim Il Sung , a gifted military strategist and ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander was an inspiration for the peoples of the colonial countries fighting for their independence and liberation . The 1968 World Cultural Congress in Havana adopted a document praising the anti-Japanese armed struggle waged under the leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung .
                          Today the DPRK under the leadership of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is the beacon of independence for the world's people. Under his leadership the Korean people are consolidating the gains of independence by fully embodying the lofty patriotism of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il.

We salute the 67th anniversary of Korea's liberation.
