STATEMENT ON THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION -Staffordshire KFA


                                                  

The Staffordshire Branch of the UK KFA wishes to send to all the affiliates of the organisation in various countries of the world our warmest greetings on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of formation of the Korean Friendship Association. On November 13th, 2000 the Korean Friendship Association was established by Alejandro Cao Benos Les y Perez and from humble beginnings has become a global phenomenon. The Korean Friendship Association is now regarded as the premier voice of solidarity with the Korean people both online and in the real-time arena. Twenty years after the KFA was setup, there are official branches in 34 countries and the reach of the KFA stretches to 120 nations, with a worldwide membership of about 17,000. During the intervening two decades, the KFA has promoted the issues of peace and reunification on the Korean peninsula and solidarity with the Socialist Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea online, conducted pickets and demonstrations calling for peace in Korea, arranged cultural events and exhibitions about the DPRK and organised tours to the DPRK. One of the greatest contributions made by the KFA to the cause of solidarity with the Korean people was to introduce the topics of the defence of the DPRK to whole new generations of activists.

Due to the apparent success of the KFA in its work of promoting the DPRK and the issues of Korean reunification to a mass audience the retrograde forces are attempting silence the voice of friendship with the Korean people. There have been motley attempts to shut up the KFA and intimidate  the officials and the rank & file membership of the KFA by the reactionary elements. No amount of underhand manoeuvres made by the agent provocateurs and the hired quislings can halt the activities of the KFA and the stop the cause of peace. We stand with Alejandro Cao de Benos and our branch send our warmest salutations to the KFA President.


KOREA IS ONE!
