he sent a paper to the meeting which read as follows"It is with a immense feeling of satiation, that the Juche Idea Study Group is now celebrating the sixty fifth anniversary of the founding of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. The Korean people who had enslaved for decades by Japanese Imperialism, were able to proclaim their sovereignty on September 8th, 1948. President KIM IL SUNG established a Peoples Democratic State for the first time on the soil of Korea. The DPRK was a state which represented the national aspirations of all the Korean People, north, south and overseas.
During the past 65 years, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea achieved proud victories and tremendous changes, on the road of Independence, Socialism and Songun Politics. Adhering to the Juche Idea, the DPRK has overcome all obstacles and challenges , and has been victorious in the cause of the revolution and construction. Peoples Korea has solved every issue from a position of independence, with the conviction of resolving the questions of national development in its own way.
In the sphere of foreign relations, the DPRK has upheld the banner of independence, friendship and peace. The party, the government and the people of the DPRK have consisted opposed imperialism and dominationism, and have given both material and moral assistance to the peoples of the world who are fighting for independence. Over the past 60 years, the DPRK government has sought that the Korean people would live their own way in state building and activities.
The secret of the success of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea lies in the fact that it has maintained Juche Character and national identity. It is a great pride that the DPRK has displayed Songun Politics. The Songun Revolutionary Leadership began on August 25th, 1960 by the Chairman KIM JONG IL has demonstrated its vitality. Due to the Songun Revolution, the DPRK has become powerful in terms of ideology, military affairs and economy. The path of Socialist Korea was one of prolonged confrontations with the imperialists and a do or die route to defend socialism from the national and class enemies. In the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953), the DPRK defeated the allied forces of imperialism. Today, the Songun Politics of the DPRK are guaranteeing the peace and security of the Korean peninsula, and of Asia and of the world.
A people-centred socialist state, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is the life and the soul of the Korean people. The people are the masters of everything in the DPRK, everything is run for and by the working masses. All state activities in the DPRK are guided by the slogan, "We Serve The People!".Free medical care, compulsory and free education, full employment, available social facilities, free housing, no taxation and other benefits of the DPRK's social system. in the DPRK there is the tradition of collectivism throughout society, the spirit of single hearted unity.
Now on its 65th year of existence, the prestige and might of the DPRK is sky high. All success which have been achieved and are being made currently, in the building of a powerful and prosperous socialist country are forever associated with the august names of KIM IL SUNG and of KIM JONG IL. The Dear Respected Leader KIM JONG UN stated that the Korean people's dignified lives and glorious reality and the prosperous future are unthinkable apart from the embrace of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, founded and consolidated by President KIM IL SUNG and by Chairman KIM JONG IL.
The Staffordshire Branch of the UK KFA calls upon all socialists, anti-imperialists and peace campaigners to rejoice in the successes of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, upon the 65th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK. Peoples Korea is a brilliant example of independence and creativity, a shinning jewel in the crown of international socialism. Let us, the Friend of Korea, rally closer around the Glorious Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea!!
GLORY TO THE 65TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF KOREA, THE BASTION OF GLOBAL INDEPENDENCE!
LONG LIVE THE GREAT LEADER PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG!
LONG LIVE THE GREAT LEADER CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL!
LONG LIVE THE DEAR RESPECTED FIRST CHAIRMAN KIM JONG UN!
KOREA IS ONE!!
Chairman of the JISGE made the keynote address on the anniversary of
the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea , he said
(excerpts)
The 65th anniversary of
the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
is a great event. It
was great to see on the TV the magnificent parade of the
Worker-Peasant Red Guard in Pyongyang
on September the 9th . I felt disappointed not to have been in
Pyongyang at the time to have seen it . The foundation of the DPRK is
not only fervently and splendidly celebrated by the Korean people but
by the world people . This is because of the unique role the DPRK
plays as an independent socialist country
Throughout its 65 long
history the DPRK has always followed the line of independence.
The DPRK was not a replica of another country nor was Korean-style socialism a gift of a
great power . The DPRK always resolutely rejected any attempts by
others to interfere in its affairs or to impose their will on the
DPRK.
The DPRK has
consistently implemented people centred policies even under
conditions of extreme blockade and sanctions. The DPRK has free
health care, free education (including university level), old age
pensions at the age of 60, the right to a job and many other
benefits. President Kim Il Sung abolished taxation in March 1974
Visiting the DPRK in
April and September 2012 my guides and other people I met pointed
out the DPRK's generous social benefit policy for example houses allocated to people
free of charge, which is something that we can only dream of. In September 2012 working
people moved into good quality modern flats free of charge in
Changjon street central Pyongyang which is only 5 minutes from the
seat of DPRK government . In Westminster the centre of London the BBC
reported in June 2013 that the average price of a flat is £1,080,978
and our' friends, the “Evening Standard” say that first time buyers
need a deposit £64,000 to buy a flat in London. Indeed the DPRK's
social benefits exceed those of the most ambitious social democratic
governments of the capitalist world. President Kim Il Sung's credo was “The people
are my god”
The
DPRK's independent and self-reliant nature was demonstrated
graphically on December 12 2012 when , in defiance of US imperialism
,world imperialism and big powers , the Kwangmysong 3-2 satellite was
launched using 100% DPRK resources and technology . On the12th of February 2013
the DPRK conducted its third nuclear test , again this was the
productof the work of DPRK
scientists using DPRK resources. Thus the DPRK is a powerful independent socialist
power of Songun !
Today under the Songun
revolutionary leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un , who
follows in the footsteps of the great leaders generalissimo Kim Il
Sung and Kim Jong Il, the DPRK is surging ahead on the crest of
the Masikryong speed to greater prosperity.
LONG LIVE THE 65TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE DPRK!
A lively discussion was held on the superiority of the Juche-based socialist
system of the DPRK with participants praising the DPRK's free housing
and abolition. The meeting denounced false and mendacious propaganda against the DPRK and its supreme leadership. People said more should be done to expose false propaganda against the DPRK.
A senior lecturer in economic sat the University of London spoke . The foundation of the DPRK was a great achievement. He explained the deep significance of anniversary of the foundation within the context of the Juche Idea . He said that in the DPRK the people are the masters of the state. The great leader President Kim Il Sung was a great man of the people who mixed with workers and farmers and even shook the ink-stained hands of academics.
A break was held .
The meeting resumed . Participants in the meeting praised the Songun policy
which made it possible to defend socialism from US imperialist aggression.
It was also important to deter the aggression of the south Korean puppets
who were not a signatory to the Korean Armistice Agreement.
The national anthem of the DPRK "The Patriotic Song" was sangto applause from the audience.
Chairman of the JISGE stressed that the feats of Madame Kim Jong Suk
the immortal anti-Japanese woman heroine who passed away on the
22nd September 1949 will be remembered forever by Juche Idea followers.
A letter to dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un was adopted .
Suggestions for practical activity were made such as a grand DPRK book
and photo exhibition and also a film show.
It was announced that the south Korean embassy would be picketed on
the 26th September and a meeting would be organised in December.
