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 appraising the policy speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN titled " On the Tasks Facing the Government of the Republic at the Present Stage of Socialist Construction" which was made  to the first session of the 15th Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on the 23rd of March ;

The speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN titled "  On the Tasks Facing the Government of the Republic at the Present Stage of Socialist Construction" is a very comprehensive , wide ranging and noteworthy . The seven or so years since the first session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly in April 2019 have proved the correctness of " our State building strategy to construct socialism through self-reliance, holding fast to the revolutionary line of independence," 

Basically the line of self-reliance , which is a tried and tested policy  of the Workers Party of Korea and the DRPK and the line of keeping the nuclear deterrent have been proved correct , have been totally vindicated. As Marshal KIM JONG UN stresses " As we were consistent in maintaining the principles and methods of dealing with problems that rely entirely on our own strength in the face of ordeals, we could remain more faithful to our sacred struggle with the sense of self-confidence, not the sense of dependence, and win great gains incomparable with the result expected from anyone’s “promise” or “economic assistance."

These words contain a great truth . Relying on one's own strength brings great results but reliance on others does not . About 7 or  8 years ago the DPRK was faced with the option of either  giving up its nuclear deterrent and 'opening up ' , accepting so-called "economic assistance "  of the imperialists or pursuing the path of self-reliance and retaining the nuclear deterrent . The DPRK chose the former option. This have proved to be correct because now the DPRK enjoys security which it did have before as Marshal KIM JONG UN says 

" With an insight into the immutable nature of the imperialist and dominationist forces, for whom seeking hegemony has become an inveterate mental attribute and whose shamelessness would evolve to be more brigandish, we secured in a foresighted way a substantial capability for coping with the security threats that would face us in the future and their worst changes. We were absolutely right in doing so.

Externally, the United States and its allies are constantly deploying nuclear strategic assets in the region around our country and threatening the security mainstay in the region, but in fact this is not something new to us, and security of our State is being maintained on a level higher than that in other regions of the world.

I am sure to say: Ours is no longer a country that is susceptible to threats from others, and it has the power to threaten them, if necessary."

This is such a great achievement .

Turning to the present international situation respected comrade KIM JONG UN wisely points out that the " Unpredictability is the only predictable future situation in the present world.

If there is anything predictable, it is the aggressive nature of imperialism which can never change."

Without any shadow of doubt these words show a remarkable wisdom . The international situation has become so unpredictable . The only certainty is that the aggressive nature of imperialism will never change . Thus People's Korea has no illusions about imperialism and will prepare for whatever situation may arise . The DPRK will also take a firm line against the puppet ROK; "In particular, we will categorically reject, ignore and treat the ROK with the most explicit words and actions by officially regarding it as the most hostile state, and make it pay the price for its acts of provocation against our Republic without the slightest consideration, hesitation or mercy."

In terms of internal policy the DPRK will push forward with the line of the three revolutions ;ideological ,technological and cultural with priority  being given to the ideological revolution  .The whole society will be modelled on the working class and revolutionary pattern . Alien and unsound elements that run counter to the socialist way of life will be combatted. People's neighbourhood units will be strengthened .

Space does not permit a full commentary and analysis of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN's speech because it contents are so wide ranging but it is clear that it is a guideline for socialist construction and contains valuable remarks about the DPRK's international policy . We recommend a deep study of it .

Do Prosper, Our Capital City of Pyongyang

 From Voice of Korea.

Do Prosper, Our Capital City of Pyongyang

  The inauguration ceremony of 10,000 flats at the fourth stage in the Hwasong area was held with splendour on February 16, 2026.

  Thus the construction of 50,000 flats in the city of Pyongyang was concluded with success, which had been powerfully carried on as the top-priority task of the Eighth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea.

  In the capital city of Pyongyang, which has been face-lifted by leaps and bounds only in five years, the people see with solemn feelings the true aspect of the great WPK which regards the people as the god.

Long-Cherished Desire of the WPK

  The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of 10,000 flats in Pyongyang took place on March 23, 2021 according to the grand plan for capital city construction unfolded by the Eighth Congress of the WPK.

  The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a significant speech at the groundbreaking ceremony.

  In the speech he said the construction of 50,000 flats in Pyongyang is the work of long-cherished desire prepared by the Party with great determination to provide the capital citizens with more stabilized and civilized living conditions and it is a noble work that makes the wealth of the state and the results of creative labour of the working people the well-being for themselves.

  His speech excited the people across the country.

  As a matter of fact, the Party and the state faced too difficult and huge tasks at that time.

  Taking the construction sector as an example, the capital city construction could be called a part of the huge construction work which should be done during the eighth term of the Party Central Committee. Moreover, grave difficulties were in the way of our advance owing to the spread of malignant viral disease as a worldwide great calamity. At that time, it was a very important task nobody could imagine and decide readily to build so many modern houses and provide them to the people free of charge.

  The construction of 50,000 flats in the capital city during the eighth term of the Party Central Committee was a tough goal that could be set only by Kim Jong Un with the firm creed that the Party and the state and all things on this land exist for the people and a star should be picked from the sky and flowers grown on a rock if the people wish. It was an expression of the steadfast will of the great father who would make all the people enjoy blessings envied by the world.

Change of the Capital City of Pyongyang

 

  Over the past five years Pyongyang has been changed more magnificently and splendidly, putting itself on a new plane of civilization and efflorescence.

#

  The groundbreaking ceremony for the first-stage construction of 10,000 flats in the Hwasong area was held at the time when those 10,000 flats in the Songsin and Songhwa area were nearing inauguration in a year after their groundbreaking. Likewise, groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of 10,000 flats in the city of Pyongyang took place every year and new street was inaugurated next year and ordinary people were provided with new houses. This became a commonplace event.

  Then how could such eye-opening realities be made?

  Kim Jong Un visited the spots on more than 10 occasions during the period from the construction of Songhwa Street to the fourth-stage construction of 10,000 flats in the Hwasong area. He guided over 1,000 designs of Songhwa Street, more than 1,630 designs of the first-stage project for building 10,000 flats in the Hawsong area, about 1,000 designs of the second-stage project and over 660 designs of the third-stage project in the area.

  Just before the mere figures, they are witnesses of the infinite and self-sacrificing devotion of the benevolent father who takes the heavy burden upon himself for the people and feels his greatest pride and happiness in it.

  Indeed, the transformation of the capital city of Pyongyang and the grand period of great prosperity of the capital city construction on this land are unthinkable apart from the devotion of Kim Jong Un.

Loud Detonation for Groundbreaking That Shook the Sky of February

  A loud detonation heralding the start of the fifth-stage construction of the Hwasong area resounded far and wide in the sky of the capital city on February 18, 2026.

  Listening to the detonation, the Korean people shed tears of emotion with the pride of the past five years and with the conviction of the coming five years.

  Kim Jong Un had new houses for nearly 60,000 families built in the capital city in five years and pressed the button of detonation heralding the start of the capital city construction again taking into account not only those experiencing the trouble of sharing houses and those living in outdated houses but also the future newlyweds.

  He declared another start of new creation and transformation as he regards the bright smile and happy life of the people as an inexhaustible strength of the Party that cannot be compared with anything and as he does not tolerate a satisfaction, a stagnation and a stalemate in the work for the people.

  In the detonation heralding the start of the fifth-stage construction in the Hwasong area, the Korean people not only contemplate the magnificent structures to be built but also are convinced of the remarkable transformation of Pyongyang, the most beautiful and great city in the world, which will be brought earlier by the absolute outlook on the people and the spirit of continuous revolution peculiar to the WPK.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Sends Wreath to Bier of Ri Pyong Sam

Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un sent a wreath to the bier of Ri Pyong Sam, former advisor to the Political Bureau of the then Korean People's Internal Security Forces who is a Labor Hero and winner of Order of Kim Il Sung and Order of Kim Jong Il, on Tuesday, expressing deep condolences over his death.

Ri Pyong Sam, who grew up to be a competent political official under the deep loving care and trust of the peerlessly great men, made a great contribution to more thoroughly establishing the monolithic command system of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea in the public security organs and preparing the officers and men of the Public Security Forces to be the frontline soldiers of defending the revolution, social system and people.

The wreath sent by Kim Jong Un was laid before the bier of the deceased. -0-

Crimes of Japan, Sworn Enemy of Korean Nation, Seen through History

Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- The Japanese imperialists coercively cooked up the "Ulsa (1905) Five-point Treaty" to turn Korea into their colony.

In November 1905 Hirobumi Ito, chieftain of the invasion of Korea, put his feet on Korea and met with Emperor Kojong several times to force him to unconditionally accept the draft "treaty" already worked out by Japan.

In order to cook up the "treaty", the Japanese imperialists put military pressure by mobilizing a large number of troops and, at the same time, sought to attain their criminal purpose by luring ministers of the feudal Korean government to Japan's legation in Korea to threaten and blackmail them.

Taking the opportunity of a meeting of Korean ministers on the "treaty" held at the imperial palace, the Japanese imperialists encircled the palace with armed forces and forced those ministers to approve the "treaty", threatening them with bayonet.

In such way they declared that the "treaty" was concluded. And to give semblance of "legality" to it, they stole the seal of the Korean foreign minister and stamped it on the document by themselves.

After all, the "Ulsa Five-Point Treaty" is a fraudulent international document as it completely lacked the form of a treaty document because of having neither signature of the Korean emperor nor the seal of state, major procedures in putting any treaty in effect.

The then emperor Kojong, in his autograph letters to the rulers of different countries in January 1906, said that he did neither admit the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty" from the very outset nor stamp the seal of the state. And he sent three secret agents to the Second International Peace Conference held in Hague in June next year to bring into light the illegality and nullification of the "treaty".

In 1963, the United Nations Commission on International Law in its report to the UN General Assembly defined the four treaties in the world, including the said "treaty", as invalid since they were concluded under coercion.

The Italian newspaper Il Manifesto disclosed that the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty", cooked up by the Japanese imperialists, is the largest fraudulent document ever in the world history.

With this "treaty", an illegal and invalid document, the Japanese imperialists came to seize the diplomatic rights of Korea and turn it into their colony. -0-

BGSJI on the 44th anniversary of the publication of "On the Juche Idea "

                                        BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA

                                25th of March 2026
On the occasion of the 44th anniversary of the publication of "ON THE JUCHE IDEA" by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il, the British Group for the Study of the  Juche Idea issued the following statement:

On the 31st of March it will be  44 years since  the publication of the historic and classic treatise "ON THE JUCHE IDEA " by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il.

This work of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il fully systematised and carried to a new higher level, the immortal Juche idea authored by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung , the eternal president of the DPRK. President Kim Il Sung had developed the Juche idea over a number of years, important landmarks in this development were the works "Path of the Korean Revolution", "On Eliminating Dogmatism and Formalism and establishing Juche in ideological work" and " On some problems of our party's Juche idea and the government of the Republic's internal and external policies"
Leader Kim Jong Il in his thesis "ON THE JUCHE IDEA" looked at the Juche idea in its entirety . In the work he examined the application of the Juche idea to philosophy and historiography as well the application of the Juche idea in practical fields. In this work for the first time in the history of philosophy leader comrade Kim Jong Il defined the nature and essence of man. He said that man is a being , with independence, creativity and consciousness. These three factors form an integral whole. He taught that Juche proves that man is the master of the world, he said
"The Juche idea shows a new viewpoint and attitude to the world, on the basis of man′s position and role as master of the world.

The viewpoint and attitude to the world shown by the Juche idea are those with which the world is approached by focusing on man, the master of the world.

Taking a man-centred attitude towards the world means approaching the world from the viewpoint of interests of man, the master of the world."

This work demonstrates the true philosophical genius of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il .

The work "ON THE JUCHE IDEA " brilliantly expounded the superiority of the Juche idea. It showed have it overcame limitations of preceding theories such as determinism and over-emphasis on material and economic factors. At the same time it soundly crushed revisionist and opportunist theories which preached giving up revolution and weakened (and eventually frustrated) the building of socialism.

The work "ON THE JUCHE IDEA " shines brightly as a brilliant manifesto for total human liberation in all fields. It gives correct answers for those building socialism, correct answers for those overcoming imperialist oppression building new independent societies , correct answers for those struggling for independence against imperialism and correct answers for those fighting against capitalist oppression and exploitation.
   Today the Korean people under the leadership of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un are advancing to final victory under the banner of the Juche idea and self-reliance. The Juche-based policy of self-reliance will smash the sanctions of the imperialist hostile forces.

  There can be no doubt that  the publication of 'ON THE JUCHE IDEA ' is a landmark in the history of philosophy.

ON THE JUCHE IDEA is a a work that should be studied by all progressives, anti-imperialists, anti-capitalists ,socialists and communists as well serious students of philosophy.
As it has been said "study the Juche idea , it will cost you nothing but will pay in plenty"
