Dermot Hudson Official Delegate KFA UK and Chairman KFA UK said in his speech "We believe that Korea should be reunified independently , this means US troops withdrawing from south Korea. Also the National Security Law should be abolished and the remnants of the old former fascist dictatorship , the so-called Liberty Korea Party should be dissolved .
Our organisations support the Appeal issued on the 15th of April by the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Committee to Support the Reunification of Korea. Our UK KFA AGM and the inaugural meeting of the KFA Scotland branch adopted resolutions in support of the Appeal. We will campaign for the US to honestly and sincerely implement its side of the DPRK-US joint statement which means lifting sanctions on the DPRK , ending the anti-DPRK hostile policy and not carrying out military exercises in south Korea. A new mechanism for peace on the Korean peninsula should be established.
Our UK Korean Friendship Association believes in pro-active campaigning .So far this year we have held 3 pickets including one of the BBC and also held a DPRK revolutionary poster exhibition to show the reality of People's Korea. Because of our active campaigning work our organisation and myself have been vilified by the CIA backed website 'NK News '. Nevertheless we will not be silenced or intimidated by these scum but will continue to campaign actively in support of People's Korea , for Korean reunification and against imperialism !"

Speeches were also made by Finnish ,Swedish , Danish , Belgian, French and Slovenian delegates . A speech was made by the leader of the Communist League of Finland.

Although , we know that such as road has many obstacles and difficulties, although we may know that many enemies will try to block our advance , we are sure to emerge victorious by holding higher , together with our Korean the red flag of the hammer , sickle and writing brush .
