DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on Israel's Attack on Iran

Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued the following press statement on Sunday:

Israel's military attack on Iran, launched under the U.S. active support and patronage, and the military action of the U.S. which joined in it are an illegal act of aggression and the most despicable form of violation of sovereignty in their nature from A to Z.

The fact that the U.S military threat to Iran, continued in the region for a long time, would be led to a realistic military invasion has already been within the range of possible prediction, and it is a sure logical result from the U.S. hegemonic and rogue nature.

The DPRK condemns in the strongest tone the shameless rogue act of the U.S. and Israel which put their domestic law before the recognized international law and do not hesitate to abuse military muscle in order to realize their selfish and hegemonic ambition.

The U.S. increased acts for hegemony witnessed by the international community this year are a positive example to show their destructive role destroying global peace and stability and its grave consequences.

The tyranny's high-handed and arbitrary practices which do not face powerful counteraction and adequate resistance, make those countries directly related to the regional situation pay dear price and give rise to concern that they may have a negative effect, which can not be disregarded politically, economically and geopolitically, on the region which has no connection with the present Iranian situation.

The world highlights again the history in which the U.S. destroyed peace in the Middle East for its hegemonic interests decades ago but met with the geopolitical failure and strategic setback after all.

The war of aggression by the U.S. and Israel, which can never be justified with anything, can never be tolerated in any case.

The relevant and interested parties in the region would be well advised to correctly grasp the essence of the offenders who chose aggression and war under the pretext of fake peace, and to fulfill their due responsibility in switching the situational trend in the Middle East back to peace and stability. -0-

BGSJI and KFA UK on the 107th anniversary of the March 1st Popular Uprising

    

BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA

 email juche007@yahoo.co.uk
                                             

                  London  1st of March 2026
   The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea  (BGSJI),  and the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK(KFA UK ) issued the following joint statement on the occasion of the 107th  anniversary of the March 1st popular uprising in Korea
  

 The March 1st popular uprising of the Korean people was a heroic act of mass resistance to the barbaric imperialist colonial rule of Japan. It was the result of the bitter resentment of the Korean people towards imperialist Japan which had annexed Korea some 9 years before in 1910 after long coveting the land of Korea and planning to seize it by hook or by crook. The March 1st popular uprising was a just uprising against oppression and exploitation by Japanese imperialism.
  The great leader President KIM IL SUNG wrote in his reminiscences  "With the Century " that
"Through the March First Popular Uprising the Korean people demonstrated to the whole world that ours are a people with a strong spirit of independence who do not want to live as the slaves of others and that they are a people with indomitable stamina and ardent patriotism who fear no sacrifice in order to regain their country"
  

  The reactionary Japanese imperialists brutally suppressed the uprising by force killing many innocent people. A total of 7 500  people were killed, 46 900 arrested and jailed and 15 900 wounded. This shows the gruesome barbarity of the samurai-wielding bloodthirsty Japanese imperialists.
                                                        

 Japan has never apologized for its crimes nor has it paid reparations to the Korean people. Instead, top Japanese politicians visit the shrine of the war criminals. Today Japan is the shock brigade of

US imperialism in Asia. Japan is being encouraged by the US to see itself as a regional power(not that Japanese militarism needs much encouragement)  Japanese imperialism is planning to make a comeback in Korea. It has laid claims to Tok Islet in south Korea. Japan also dominates the south Korean economy and jointly exploits south Korea with US imperialism. Japan pursues an extremely hostile policy towards the DPRK. Japan commits acts of terrorism against Korean residents in Japan and is denying them the right to education.
    

  Although the March 1st popular uprising was brutally suppressed by the Japanese imperialists the independent spirit of the heroic uprisers is alive. Today that spirit of independence is represented by the Juche idea and the anti-imperialist Democratic People's Republic of Korea led by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN, the outstanding anti-imperialist leader of our epoch. South Korea lacks independence and the spirit of  Juche. .
 

   Our organisations urge that Japan should apologise to the Korean people and compensate them for the crimes committed against them. Moreover, Japan should take its hands off Korea and keep out!

BGSJI and KFA UK on the 90th anniversary of the Nanhutou Meeting

  BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA 

 email juche007@yahoo.co.uk

 

 27th of February 2026
The British Group For the Study of the Juche Idea and Korean Friendship Association UK  issued a joint statement on the 90th anniversary of the Nanhutou meeting:

   This is the very day on which 90 years ago , the historic Nanhutou meeting presided over by the  great leader President KIM IL SUNG was held . The meeting lasted from the 27th of February to the 3rd of March .It was attended by the cadres and activists of the Korean People's Revolutionary (founded 5 years before in April 1932). The great leader President KIM IL SUNG made the historic report  "The Tasks of Communists in the Strengthening and Development of the Anti-Japanese National Liberation Struggle."

 The great leader President KIM IL SUNG set forth a line on advancing the Korean People's Revolutionary Army  main unit into the border area and Mt. Paektu area and gradually expanding the armed struggle into the homeland. As

President KIM IL SUNG said " In this favourable situation the Korean communists are faced with the important task of further developing the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle by building up the revolutionary forces of our people and mobilizing all their efforts."  

 The meeting was the one that focused on completely establishing Juche for the first time in the Korean revolution and anti-Japanese national liberation struggle.
    In line with the policies, the Korean revolutionaries steadfastly maintained the Juche-based stand in each stage of the revolution and held fast to it as an utmost lifeline of the nation in whatever adversities.
    Hence then, the Korean revolution entered into a higher stage.

The teachings of President KIM IL SUNG at the Nanhutou meeting served as a guideline for the anti-imperialist national liberation movement in the colonies.
    The banner of Juche, the banner of independence, which was the focus in the Nanhutou Meeting, serves as imperative still for building a thriving socialist nation.
