In Denunciation of the “UK-Republic of Korea bilateral framework for closer cooperation’-KFA UK

                                                       




London 11th of July 2022.




The Korean Friendship Association of the UK issued a commentary on the so-called ‘UK-Republic of Korea bilateral framework for closer cooperation’’


On the 30th of June 2022 the British government  including the Foreign and Commonwealth and Development Office , and the office of the Prime Minister , issued a lengthy document titled ‘ UK-Republic of Korea bilateral framework for closer cooperation’ which is aimed at giving more British support to the south Korean puppet fascist regime  and provoking the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK ) .A hidden agenda behind the document is regime change in People’s Korea .

 Britain has always played a reactionary and imperialistic role in Korea . In the 1900s , Britain connived at Japan’s colonial occupation of Korea. Later Britain sent troops to fight against the Korean people  in 1950  , in the Fatherland Liberation War  or Korean War . Shamefully British troops acted as cannon fodder and mercenaries for US imperialism and its destructive and barbaric war against the Korean people. After the Korean war Britain gave huge amounts of aid (from the taxes paid by British working people ) were given to the south Korean puppets and the then state-owned  motor company ‘ British Leyland “  assisted the motor industry in south Korea .


The ‘bilateral framework ‘ document  refers to south Korea as being a ‘free and open society ‘ ! Nothing could be further from the truth ! South Korea is a despotic fascist regime which operates  the ‘National Security Law ‘  which is based on old Japanese colonial laws  and prohibits sympathy for the DPRK or commmunist or leftist activities . In the past south Korea murdered the leaders of the Revolutionary Party for Reunificaiton , the Strategic Liberation Party and People’s Revolutionary Party .South Korea still has political prisoners including a number of ‘long term unconverted prisoners ‘. South Korea is dominated by the Jaebols ( big capitalist corporations ) and a society in which there is a big gap between the rich and poor as typified by the film “Parasite’.


The document refers to the ‘complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation’ of the DPRK basically repeating a tired old mantra . Of course lurking behind this is the hidden aim of overthrowing the socialist system in the DPRK and colonising the northern half of Korea .Moreover it is taking issue with the DPRK ‘s legitimate right to self-defence and is a denial of the DPRK ‘s sovereignty .


There is reference to ‘concern over the recent COVID-19 outbreak in the DPRK’ . However , the DPRK has overcome the Covid 19 outbreak by its own efforts and Covid 19 has been virtually eliminated in People’s Korea. However south Korea has had 18,524,538 million cases and a death toll of 24,661 people .Isn’t the British government’s concerns somewhat misplaced ? . Moreover it is hypocritical for south Korea to speak about Covid 19 in the DPRK , because Covid 19 was spread into the DPRK on balloons flown by ‘defectors ‘ in south Korea .


The  document also refers to ‘human rights ‘ and the DPRK ‘opening up ‘ the so-called ‘humanitarian aid ‘ of imperialism . This is yet another ploy ,another stratagem to create ‘regime change ‘ in the DPRK and overthrow the socialist system . The DPRK does not need any ‘humanitarian aid ‘from south Korea or Britain or imperialism .



There is also talk of upgrading the existing  ‘Free Trade Agreement.’ between Britain and south Korea . This will only result in more cheap , substandard and shoddy south Korean goods being dumped in Britain . It will also mean some British monopoly capitalist firms exploiting cheap labour in south Korea .



KFA UK rejects the so-called ‘UK-Republic of Korea bilateral framework for closer cooperation’! It is both a mechanism for denying the sovereignty of the DPRK and overthrowing the socialist system of the DPRK and at the same time propping up the totally reactionary , fascistic and decadent colonial regime in south Korea.


KFA UK believes that Britain should break with old and discredited policies towards the Korean peninsula and instead promote cooperation based on genuine friendship , mutual benefit and independence with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea , the truly authentic state on the Korean peninsula.

Down with the south Korean puppet fascist regime !

Hands off People’s Korea !
