From Voice of Korea -The WPK, Great Mother

  Everybody loves his or her mother. Likewise, the Korean people warmly love and boast of the Workers' Party of Korea all over the world, calling it mother.


Our Mother with Many Children


  Our mother, the Workers' Party of Korea, brings up all the sons and daughters on this land wonderfully.

  Among them are Han Tong Suk, Headmistress of the Jungdok Primary School in the city of Phyongsong affiliated to the Phyongsong Teachers Training College in South Phyongan Province, and her sister.

  Han Tong Suk has been teaching for tens of years since her girlhood.

  She has devoted all her wisdom and passion to education in order to repay the benevolence of the WPK that trained her born into an ordinary family as an educator, considering her wish.

  The Party held her up as People's Teacher and a meritorious person of socialist patriotism.

  Her younger sister Han Tong Son is a poetess who created many long epics including "Sky of the Sun", "Great Defender" and "Green Willow" loved by the Korean people.

  The long epic "Sky of the Sun", in particular, is a work laureate of the People's Prize.

  Han Tong Son was no more than a literary enthusiast who loved poem more than others. She could become a writer in military uniform and an official guiding creative work under the care of the Party.

  The two sisters took part in the celebrations of the 80th founding anniversary of the WPK in October last year and the Ninth Congress of the WPK in February this year as delegates.


  A lot of other people on this land are growing to be heroes and doctors under the care of the motherly Party.

  There is a saying in our country; "Much effort is needed to bring up a child."

  Then how much effort is needed to bring up lots of children in this country wonderfully?


Our Mother Full of Cares


  Mothers always care about how to feed, clothe and train their children better.

  The Korean people grow up under the loving care of the Workers' Party of Korea from their birth.

  The dairy products children take every day, uniforms and bags of schoolchildren and their notebooks and pencils are associated with the warm love of the motherly Party.






  The WPK provided the people suffering from disaster with better conditions, worrying about their life even at night and sharing sweets and bitters with them, and built the best houses for those with the housing problem in consideration of their mental agony.

  Indeed, it is endless to count the undertakings carried out by our Party for the people.






  Under the care of the motherly Party, more and more undertakings for the people are carried on and a new era of regional transformation is ushered in.

  The Party's care reaches everywhere people live like inexhaustible milk duct, sunlight and air.

  The people's happiness is growing under the care of the mother.

*                           *                             *

  Everyone in the world knows well about the situation of the Gaza Strip in Palestine whose people are forced to suffer all sorts of misfortunes.

  Why is such misery caused?

  It is because they don't have the great mother to defend their genuine life, though they have mothers who gave birth to them.

  That's why they are losing their dear homes and beloved children.

  The Korean people born on this land keep it as the precious truth of life that the WPK is the one and only great mother in the world.

  A child never betrays his or her mother.

  It is the fervent desire of all sons and daughters on this land to entrust their destiny to such an excellent and great mother and invariably follow only the motherly Party even though they are born again many a time.

Saying that the National Defence Revolution Museum serves as a proud review of the history of protracted and glorious development made by our munitions industry under the guidance of the WPK and an epitome of the level, appearance and capability of our national defence power, he stressed that the establishment of the museum representing and symbolizing the exploits performed by the Party for the country's today and morrow is the greatest celebration of its historic course of profound significance by the times and the people.


The strategic programme of the Party on defence development and the tasks for implementing it literally constituted a revolution for pioneering new defence science and technology and building a new munitions industry, he said, noting in an excited tone that Comrade Kim Jong Un initiated the gigantic revolution, unprecedented in the world's history of defence building, and has guided it personally.

Looking back with deep emotion on the sacred history of the Juche-oriented defence industry, which was pioneered along with the founding of the WPK and has undergone successful development, and on the stories recorded in the arduous course of pioneering the modernization of defence industry and beating its untrodden path, he said that the museum is the immortal archive and the greatest national treasure house that intensively and intuitively show how the dignity and security of the DPRK and the happiness of its people are defended and how peace of this land is achieved.


He proudly said that such revolutionary treasure as the National Defence Revolution Museum is a great historical one that can be possessed only by the WPK, which has strenuously taken the path, to be proud of and glorious before the country and posterity, without a moment's delay, and a precious monument which can be built only by the powerful state and people with their absolute strength powerful enough to defend themselves.


The level reached by our defence industry today is the zenith of glory and honour won with the spirit and strength of the DPRK and its people's resourcefulness, and a priceless victory brought about by the tenacity, patriotism and loyalty of the people who unconditionally supported and encouraged the WPK's original line of self-defence and policy of defence development in the face of severe trials and difficulties, he said.


Saying that it is the WPK's due obligation and peculiar mode of action to build the defence industry, most powerful in the world, as it was founded with its very mission to take full responsibility for the destiny of the people, he affirmed that the powerful Juche-based weaponry, which serve as stepping stones to dramatic promotion of the national position, will be developed and completed in a more strenuous manner through the course of unique development and evolution, alongside the scale and contents of the museum being further expanded and enriched with the passage of time.


He expressed belief that the officials and lecturers of the museum would fulfill their responsibility and duty as the red information workers and ideological guards of the WPK who convey the history of the self-reliant defence building of the DPRK forever, cherishing the great pride and honour of working at the WPK's revolutionary history museum.


The participants deeply realized the iron truth - we will always emerge victorious as the WPK guides the Korean revolution - and the vitality of the WPK's line of self-reliant defence.


Members of the Party central leadership hardened their firm will to remain single-mindedly loyal to the revolutionary leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un who is powerfully demonstrating the dignity and greatness of the Party, state and people while leading the historic struggle for accomplishing the sacred cause of building a rich country with a strong army, regarding self-reliant defence as the mainstay for defending the sovereignty and national interests and developing the revolution. -0-

BGSJI and KFA UK on the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Down With Imperialism Union.

  BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA

 email juche007@yahoo.co.uk

                                             

                                          



                      

12th of October 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea(BGSJI) and the Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK )  issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Down With Imperialism Union ;

On the 17th of October  1926 the revolutionary red banner of Juche was first raised in Korea with the formation of the Down-With- Imperialism- Union which was also known as the TD. The DIU was the first genuine communist revolutionary organisation in  Korea. The formation of the DIU marked a clean break with the stagnant  ideas of factionalism , flunkeyism and dogmatism  thus, it was a decisive leap forward in the task of building a revolutionary working-class party in Korea. The DIU  completely broke with opportunism and also the national reformism of bourgeois nationalists. As  comrade Kim Il Sung said to the meeting that founded the DIU

"Irreconcilable contradictions exist between the imperialists and people in the colonies  and these contradictions are sharpening  with the passage of time. Because these contradictions are antagonistic they cannot be settled by any kind of 'compromise ' and will only be solved when imperialism is overthrown"

  Thus the Korean revolution was set on the correct path. The foundation of the DIU by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung heralded the dawn of a new era of independence in which the popular masses became masters of their fate,masters of their destiny.

   Indeed as the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung said;

"The formation of this union, the first genuine communistic revolutionary organisation in our country , was the historic announcement of a new beginning for our revolution. With the formation of the DIU  our people's revolutionary struggle began to progress with the principle of independence and this was when our Party began to strike its glorious roots"

     The DIU proudly proclaimed its aims were to win independence and liberation for Korea, to carry out the socialist revolution in Korea, to build socialism and communism in Korea and to carry out the world revolution. Thus for the first time in history the lines of national liberation and socialist revolution were combined. Moreover the relationship between the national tasks of the working class and its international tasks was affirmed. Both the line of combing national liberation with socialism and the line of inter-relating the national and international tasks of the struggle were a prototype form of the Juche idea of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. Independence and self-reliance were the cornerstones of the DIU.                             

                                          




   The DIU was a new kind of revolutionary organisation founded among the youth and students of Korea . The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung had prepared the ground for the formation of the DIU by leading many struggles amongst the youth and students including a strike of school students against reactionary teachers. These struggles fostered core elements of the revolution. It was not formed from the factionalists who indulged in empty talk and who were divorced from the popular masses as they were drawn from the middle class , bourgeoisie and  ruined aristocracy. The DIU fought for the revolution on the basis of independence. As the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il wrote "The formation of the DIU was a historic declaration of a fresh start for the Korean communist movement and the Korean revolution. Now, the Korean communist movement and national-liberation movement bade farewell to the old generation, contaminated by flunkeyism and dogmatism, and welcomed a new age based on the principle of independence. The establishment of the D1U was the beginning of the struggle to found a new type of party, a revolutionary party of the Juche type, which was different from the one which had previously existed in our country"

   The DIU was the foundation stone of the Workers' Party of Korea.The idea and lines of the Down-Imperialism Union were brilliantly implemented and carried forward by the Workers' Party of Korea founded by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and developed the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il. As the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il in his work "The Workers Party of Korea is a Juche-type revolutionary party which inherited the glorious traditions of the DIU "..

Our Party which has followed a unique path since it started to take root with the formation of the DIU is a new type of revolutionary working-class party.

Ours is a Juche-type revolutionary party which is guided by the Juche idea and carried out its revolutionary activities independently and creatively in keeping with the interests of our people and conditions in our country. By establishing Juche thoroughly in all spheres of Party building and activity with the Juche idea as its unalterable guide, it has been able to strengthen and develop into an indestructible revolutionary party."

Under the leadership of the dear respected leader Marshal Kim Jong Un , the Chairman of the  Workers' Party of Korea , the Korean people and WPK carry forward the militant revolutionary anti-imperialist traditions of the DIU and are advancing towards final victory under the banner of self-reliance . We salute the 100th anniversary of the formation of the DIU. May the Korean revolution continue for another 100 years and a 1,000 years


LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM UNION !

LONG LIVE JUCHE !

LONG LIVE THE WORKERS' PARTY OF KOREA !

LONG LIVE RESPECTED MARSHAL KIM JONG UN !

BGSJI and KFA UK support press statement of DPRK FM spokesperson on the human rights issue

  BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA

10th of October  2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)  that was issued on the 9th of October ;

Recently the US State Department issued the "2026 Trafficking in Persons Report" which slanders the DPRK and run through with lies and fabrications .

The spokesperson of the DPRK Foreign Ministry declares that "This clearly proved once again the U.S. vicious and malicious intention to politicize and weaponize human rights and use them as the primary lever for its hostile policy toward the DPRK."

The US has indeed weaponised the human rights issue . The US is also trying to use the human rights issue as a lever for the overthrow of the socialist system in the DPRK.

The so-called "human rights reports " issued by the US state department  are nothing but interreference  in other countries affairs as well as regime change propaganda .

The spokesperson of the DPRK Foreign Ministry points out that " Human traffic has been an evil of American society for a long time, and it is also the U.S. "specialty" which is difficult to imitate.". This is very true . The US has been convulsed by the Epstein scandal in which women and children were trafficked deliberately to satisfy the degenerate desires of the ruling elite of the US and the Western world .

The publication of this so-called report by the US state dept reveals once again the hostile policy of the US towards the DPRK and its desire to overthrow the socialist system in the DPRK.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry declares it will take the toughest counter-action against the US "human rights "racket as well as other US hostility towards the DPRK .

We support the DPRK FM's declaration to take the most resolute and decisive action to defend its system !

10th of October  2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support   of comrade Kim Yo Jong Department Director of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea important reclarification , through the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA ),of the stand of the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ;

On the 9th of October comrade Kim Yo Jong made clear through KCNA the consistent stand and judgement of the DPRK government towards the hooligans and gangsters of the ROK.

The ROK puppets are disguising their ill intentions towards the DPRK as " good will " . The  fabricated mine explosion  case and the so-called offer of "medical aid " are really just two sides of the same coin. Comrade Kim Yo Jong declares that "This time the duplicity and shamelessness of the ROK, which touted "humanitarian aids" for someone, have become visible to the naked eye."

Now the whole world can see the deception of the ROK puppets . The fabrication of the mine explosion incident and the offer of so-called "aid " are a mean trick to try and present the ROK puppets as being "reasonable " ,"friendly " and "peaceful ". Whatever short term gains that the ROK might get from this farce , in the long term it will lose more .

The DPRK in the future will not deal the ROK puppets . It plans to more decisively reject the ROK puppets . Comrade Kim Yo Jong categorically states that  "Upon authorization of our head of state and according to the general will of the people of the DPRK, I clarify that we will more definitely disregard and reject the human scum of the ROK in the future. "

The ROK are human scum and the DPRK is correct not to deal with them . We support the just and principle stand of the DPRK .
