The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ) and Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) issued a joint statement supporting the article  of respected Marshal KIM  JONG UN titled " Officials Should Become Communist Revolutionaries Who Are Possessed of the Party’s Original Ideals and Spirit as Their Mental Qualities" which was published in Rodong Sinmun , the daily organ of the Workers Party of Korea on the 10th of October to mark the 79th anniversary of the foundation of the Workers Party of Korea ;

We were deeply impressed reading the article . In his article respected Marshal KIM JONG UN looks forward to the 80th anniversary  of the foundation of the Workers Party of Korea (WPK)next year in 2025. Marshal KIM JONG UN points out that the WPK has the longest history of communist or workers party in power saying that "A revolutionary party with the longest ruling history–this is not a simple rhetorical expression."

Marshal KIM JONG UN identifies the need for fidelity to principle and revolutionary continuity as an important if not fundamental factor in maintaining a party's existence . The original ideas and spirit of the WPK contain an iron truth ,

It is proudly indicated by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN that " When the other ruling socialist parties were being swept into the vortex of revisionism and dogmatism resulting in the political upheaval of capitalist revival in a number of countries, it marched forward unflinchingly under the banner of its socialist and communist programme. Its profile is shining as the symbol of a revolutionary party."

This is indeed true because in that difficult period , the WPK proudly held high the red flag of Juche and socialism . Also it is significant that respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is the only leader of  a present day socialist country to mention revisionism . Truly the WPK is a great anti-revisionist party .

Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN strongly warns against revolutionary parties diluting their basic principles by trying to reform ideology  . He says as follows  " Pursuing reformism by a party in its building on the pretext of the changes in the times will inevitably lead to the deviation from its original ideals and degradation in ideology and spirit, which will in turn weaken its ruling efficiency.

Transformation and innovation is a law-governed demand in party building and an essential precondition for its political leadership over the revolution and construction.

Yet, a revolutionary party should never permit any transformation or reform of the ideals and spirit it adopted at the time of its founding "

This correctly illustrates the dangers of reformism that is pursued by many .

The key principle of the WPK is the people-first principle which marks it out from other socialist ruling parties . As Marshal KIM JONG UN explains "Despite manifold difficulties facing the state, our Party initiated and is unfailingly carrying out gigantic projects of lasting significance to translate the people’s ideals and dreams into reality, and it also ensures that the more difficulties the people experience, the deeper the whole Party goes among the masses, sharing weal and woe with them. Such traits can never be displayed or imitated by other ruling socialist parties"

The WPK will continue to uphold the people-first policy and people-oriented policy. Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN urges the fight against bureaucracy and abuse of power .

The work of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN titled "Officials Should Become Communist Revolutionaries Who Are Possessed of the Party’s Original Ideals and Spirit as Their Mental Qualities" is a very great work that is impressive and should be widely studied .

Roads and Railways to ROK Completely Blocked: KCNA Report

Pyongyang, October 17 (KCNA) -- KCNA reported on October 16 that the roads and railways connected to the ROK in the east and west parts of the southern border of the DPRK have been completely blocked.

The report says:

Under the order No. 00122 of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army on Oct. 15 took a measure to physically cut off the DPRK's roads and railways which lead to the ROK through the east and west sections of the southern border of the DPRK as part of the phased complete separation of its territory, where its sovereignty is exercised, from the ROK's territory.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said that in the daytime of October 15, the 60-metre-long sections of the roads and railways in Kamho-ri, Kosong County, Kangwon Province and the 60-metre-long sections of the roads and railways in Tongnae-ri, Panmun District, Kaesong Municipality have been completely blocked through blasting.

This is an inevitable and legitimate measure taken in keeping with the requirement of the DPRK Constitution which clearly defines the ROK as a hostile state, and due to the serious security circumstances running to the unpredictable brink of war owing to the grave political and military provocations of the hostile forces.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection of the DPRK confirmed that the blasting had no negative effect on the surrounding ecological environment and that the routes linking the DPRK to the ROK have been completely separated.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said that the DPRK will continue to take measures to permanently fortify the closed southern border. -0-

15th of October Juche 113 (2024)

The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ) and Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) issued a joint statement highly appraising the  speech  of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN to the KIM JONG UN University of National Defence on the 8th of October ;

During his congratulatory visit to the University of National Defence named after him, on the 8th of October respected Marshal KIM JONG UN made a speech that congratulated the university on the 60th anniversary of its foundation . Marshal KIM JONG UN reviewed the achievements scored by the university throughout its 60 year long history and the important role that it played  saying that;

 "It was an institute born of the steadfast revolutionary will of the Workers’ Party of Korea to take its destiny firmly in its own hands and defend to the last the gains of the revolution achieved at the cost of blood; it was also a crystallization of its firm faith and ideals for setting up a notable landmark in achieving dignity and prosperity by building great strength"

In his speech respected Marshal KIM JONG UN points out that the university started from scratch and was built in the spirit of self-reliance .

The KIM JONG UN National Defence University does not just represent a glorious past but is a base for  training future cadres. As Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN says  it " serves as a bulwark of strategic importance for achieving one victory after another in the years to come."

In the speech respected Marshal KIM JONG UN outlines future tasks for the University .He also defines the nature of the south Korean puppets pointing out that  "The enemy you are facing are die-hard anti-communists, who would not change their hostile consciousness against our Republic until their doomsday. And they are imperialist aggressive forces that boast their highly advanced military science and technology and munitions industry plus their centuries-old belligerency"

However , respected Marshal KIM JONG UN clarifies that the DPRK has no intention of attacking south Korea and that is actions are defensive .The DPRK will not attack unless it is attacked first .

Given the situation in which the south Korean puppets are threatening the DPRK , the University should step up its efforts to increase research into building up Juche-oriented defence power and use the latest scientific and technical achievements .

All in all this is a very important and valuable speech by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN which gives important teachings for the work of building national defence as well as clarifying the nature of the ROK puppets .

The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ) and Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) issued a joint statement concerning the situation on the Korean peninsula ;

Voices of concern are being raised across the global community about the situation on the Korean peninsula. Some people believe that a war may break out  .We in the Korean Friendship Association of the UK , together with the British Group For the Study of the Juche Idea wish to make our views clear on the situation .

The root cause of the tensions is the illegal drone intrusion into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) by the fascist south Korean puppets who are the inveterate and sworn enemy of the DPRK .  This occurred not once but on 3 separate occasions All the time the fascist ROK puppets and US imperialists are conspiring to overthrow socialism in the DPRK . The drone intrusion was part of a wider campaign of destabilisation and 'regime change ' operations by the ROK and US imperialists .Moreover , sending drones into the DPRK is a violation of its sovereignty and international law . It is not just a matter of the drones scattering defamatory anti-DPRK leaflets which slandered the socialist system but the drones could carry explosives or even spread Covid 19 into the DPRK.

Therefore , we are true friends of People's Korea who defend it with No Ifs or Buts support the measures of the DPRK to defend its sovereignty , independence and socialist system . The DPRK is the far eastern outpost of socialism proudly flying the red flag . The DPRK has an advanced socialist system which guarantees free housing ,free health care , free education and low cost food . It has the right to take any measures to defend its socialist system.

Moreover , we support the recent measures taken by the DPRK to secure its southern borders against encroachment or intrusion by the fascist ROK puppets .

We call upon British progressives and those who support independence to rally around People's Korea and defend it with No Ifs or Buts against 'regime change' tricks and aggression by the fascist ROK puppets !

DEFEND PEOPLE'S KOREA WITH NO IFS OR BUTS !

DOWN WITH THE FASCIST SOUTH KOREAN PUPPETS !

The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ) and Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of spokesperson for the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies of the DPRK that was issued on the 14th of October;

At the 79th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) a report full of fabrications and lies about the DPRK, was distributed as an "official UN Document " . The Korea Association for Human Rights Studies categorically rejects the report and characterises it as "a product of the U.S. and the West's conspiracy to escalate confrontation with the DPRK, branding it as the most hideous document for ill-intended political propaganda fabricated to tarnish the image of the dignified DPRK"

Indeed the campaign of the US and other Western countries against the DPRK on the issue of human rights is a conspiracy to overthrow socialism in the DPRK. The US imperialists are trying to use human rights as a lever to demolish the socialist system of the DPRK .

The so-called report of the "Human rights rapporteur "  tries to take issue with the measures of the DPRK against Covid 19 which undoubtedly saved many lives . It also criticises internal laws of the DPRK passed by the Supreme People's Assembly , this is a brazen violation of the DPRK's sovereignty and interference in the internal affairs of the DPRK  .It is deeply shameful that the UN even issued such as a document !.

All these moves of the US imperialists against People's Korea under the guise of "human rights " betray the confrontational nature of the US and its desire to overthrow people -centred socialism in the DPRK and colonise it .

The  Korea Association for Human Rights Studies of the DPRK declares that "We will never tolerate the hostile forces' vicious anti-DPRK "human rights" smear campaign for tarnishing the image of the socialist system centered on the popular masses, the life and soul of all the DPRK people and the cradle of their life, but firmly safeguard the rights and interests of the people."

We denounce the slanderous and false allegations against People's Korea and demand that the US and its lackeys drop the anti-DPRK "human rights " campaign . We support the measures of People's Korea to defend its socialist system.

Press Statement of Spokesperson for Korea Association for Human Rights Studies

 

Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies released the following press statement on October 14:

At the recent 79th session of the UN General Assembly, a report of the "special rapporteur" on human rights situation of the DPRK, which malignantly hurts the DPRK's policy of guaranteeing genuine human rights and its true situation, was distributed as an official document of the UN.

The report is run through with such fabrications as "forcible missing and repatriation", "torture and maltreatment in detention facilities" and "suppression of free movement and speech", and inflammatory remarks taking issue with even the regular legislative activities of the DPRK, its internal affair and exercise of sovereignty.

The Korea Association for Human Rights Studies categorically rejects the report, a product of the U.S. and the West's conspiracy to escalate confrontation with the DPRK, branding it as the most hideous document for ill-intended political propaganda fabricated to tarnish the image of the dignified DPRK.

The report terms the most advantageous emergency anti-epidemic measure, which firmly ensured our people's right to living when millions people lost their lives due to the global crisis caused by COVID-19, "violation of human rights." Furthermore, it even paints a black picture of the legislative measure taken by the DPRK to defend its ideology and social system from the heinous ideological and cultural poisoning by the U.S. and the West seeking the internal erosion and collapse of the sovereign state, and calls for "reproach." This constitutes a wanton violation of our sovereignty and interference in our internal affairs, which can never be pardoned.

The "special rapporteur" on human rights situation of the DPRK, who echoes the rubbish and false rumors spread by the U.S. and the vassal forces to play the role of a missionary for its anti-DPRK "human rights" conspiratorial racket is, indeed, a puppet and top-class servant of the U.S.

We keep a record of every confrontational trace of the "special rapporteur" who often visited the ROK to let out a string of offensive remarks against the DPRK like "border blockade-brought deterioration of human rights situation" and "lingering food crisis," and impudently called for "handling the human rights' situation of the DPRK in the light of global peace and security and unethical crime" in the UN arena.

It is just a disgrace to the UN advocating objectivity, impartiality, dialogue and cooperation that the title of country-specific special rapporteur, which should have disappeared long ago for being a direct product of the U.S. and the West's high-handed and arbitrary practices and extreme double-standard, still remains.

We have never recognized the "special rapporteur" on human rights situation of the DPRK and will never ever deal with the "rapporteur."

The more desperately the U.S. and the riff-raff following it, including the "special rapporteur", distort the truth and turn black into white to malignantly slander the DPRK's genuine human rights situation, the more clearly it will betray their despicable confrontational nature gripped by hostility towards the DPRK.

The U.S. and its vassal forces, which are facing ever-worsening inferiority in strength in the political and military showdown with the DPRK, are resorting to putting collective pressure on the DPRK in cooperation with each other under the pretext of the non-existent "human rights issue," but they will get nothing from the "human rights" smear campaign.

We will never tolerate the hostile forces' vicious anti-DPRK "human rights" smear campaign for tarnishing the image of the socialist system centered on the popular masses, the life and soul of all the DPRK people and the cradle of their life, but firmly safeguard the rights and interests of the people. -0-
