Successors to the Revolution, Masters of the Future

They Lead an Upright Life

  June 6, 1946 is the day when the Korean Children's Union was founded.

  The members of the Korean Children's Union are growing to be pillars of the country with nothing to envy in the world under the loving care of the peerlessly great men.

For the Rising Generations

  The great leader Generalissimo Kim Il Sung, father of socialist Korea, established the universal free education system and provided new school uniforms to the pupils and students across the country and trained the Children's Union members into true sons and daughters of the country.

  The great leader Generalissimo Kim Jong Il regarded the training of posterity as an important work related to the future of the revolution and spared nothing for the schoolchildren.

  Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il led the work of the Children's Union step by step in each period and at every stage of the developing revolution and always became dear teachers and overcautious parents of the schoolchildren.

  The respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un shows his infinite love and affection to the members of the Children's Union, regarding them as treasures that cannot be compared with a colossal sum of money and valuables and as the whole of hope and future.

  He made it a tradition to grandly celebrate the founding anniversary of the Korean Children's Union every year and took part in the meeting of the Children's Union members to wish them a bright future though he was so busy with the state affairs.

  Under his leadership, more and more policies for the rising generations are enforced in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with each passing day, including the policy on supplying all the pupils and students with the homemade school uniforms, bags, shoes and things, the policy on providing the conditions for bringing up the parentless children well and the policy on wonderfully remodeling the Children's Union camps and schoolchildren's palaces and halls across the country.

  Marshal Kim Jong Un regraded it as the primary state affairs to bring up the rising generations and gave his first field guidance to the Pyongyang Bag Factory producing bags for the children in 2017. On the New Year's Day in 2023 he had a photo taken with the delegates to the Ninth Congress of the Korean Children's Union, hoping that all the Children's Union members throughout the country would be in good health and grow up more courageously to be able personnel with ample knowledge, high morality and strong body for the future of the country. On January 1 this year, he met schoolchildren who gave the New Year performance in 2026 and warmly wished them a happy future.

We Are the Happiest in the World

  The respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un takes good care of all the children growing up on this land with the feeling of a mother who does not know comfort and self-satisfaction in the work for her children.

  Under his loving care extracurricular educational bases for the children and homes for the orphans were built in all parts of the country.

  The Okryu Children's Hospital was also built in a peculiar way at the direct initiative of Marshal Kim Jong Un and under his energetic leadership. It has classrooms, playing spaces and resting places for the children as well as different kinds of medical treatment rooms, operating rooms and wards.

  Those monumental edifices for the schoolchildren are a crystallization of the warm affection and love of Marshal Kim Jong Un who maps out policies for the children first and is always concerned for the rising generations.

  Witnessed in all parts of the world are such successive tragedies as shutting down of schools owing to ceaseless wars and crises, rapidly increasing traffic in children, frequent gun reports made at schools and all sorts of juvenile delinquencies.

  In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, however, the schoolchildren learn to their heart's content under the benefits of free education to accumulate a wealth of knowledge and develop their talents at extracurricular educational bases such as schoolchildren's palaces and camps. This is the privilege enjoyed only by the members of the Korean Children's Union.

  One day, foreigners who visited the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace, said with great envy: "I want to be reborn as a child of Korea." "No children in other countries can match the happy children of Korea."

  The great love of Marshal Kim Jong Un for the rising generations serves as a nutrient bringing up the members of the Korean Children's Union as dignified masters of prospering Korea.

  Under his care, the members of the Korean Children's Union are stoutly growing into ardent juvenile revolutionaries and patriots who know the preciousness of the country and devote their all to the country and revolution, singing the song "We Are the Happiest in the World".

  The Korean schoolchildren are growing up, smiling a bright smile and leading an upright life. They represent a bright future of Korea.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Observes Navigation Test of Destroyer Kang Kon

Pyongyang, June 6 (KCNA) -- The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the Destroyer Kang Kon of the Navy of the Korean People's Army, which has entered the shakedown for assessing its capability of executing operations, and observed its navigation test on June 4.

He was accompanied by Jo Chun Ryong, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director of the WPK Central Committee, Pak Kwang Sop, commander of the Navy, Pak Jong Chon, advisor to the Ministry of National Defence, Kim Kang Il, vice-minister of National Defence and director of the General Armaments Bureau, Jang Chang Ha, general director of the Missile Administration, Kim Yong Hwan, president of the Academy of Defence Sciences, Kim Myong Son, director of the Armaments Examination Bureau of the Ministry of National Defence, commanding officers of the Navy and senior officials in the field of shipbuilding.

Comrade Kim Jong Un boarded the Destroyer Kang Kon and learned about the actual conditions of various combat duty spaces and elements of the destroyer including the combined control center, the plan for the navigation test and the phased schedule of the test of the warship's weapon systems.

A navigation test was conducted to assess different maneuvering elements of the destroyer with Comrade Kim Jong Un on board the warship.

Comrade Kim Jong Un praised the sailors for their high ability to operate the warship and expressed satisfaction over the cruise and high-speed maneuvering systems of the warship whose maneuverability is very good to meet operational requirements.

Referring to the global trend of the developing shipbuilding industry and the structural features of warship design, he clarified the important tasks for further perfecting the warship control system in our own way so as to meet the requirements for the performance of operational mission of our Navy.

It is possible to deter war and defend peace only when we possess substantial and powerful military muscle capable of exercising military sovereignty in a responsible manner in any space of the ground, the sea and the air, he said, adding this is the invariable view of the WPK and its national defence policy.

In particular, the issue of rapidly developing and strengthening the naval force of the DPRK into a force capable of reliably taking charge of a part of the nuclear war deterrent and into a group that can deal a deadly blow at the enemy any moment under the water or on the water is a matter which the WPK regards as the most important core task in the new five-year national defence development policy, he said.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great trust and expectation that the vast plans for bolstering up the warship force, including the development and production of underwater secret weapons and the building of 10 000-tonnage destroyers under the five-year plan for modernizing the Navy approved by the Ninth Congress of the WPK, would be surely carried out by our reliable and powerful defence science research group, self-supporting shipbuilding industry and competent and intelligent workers in the munitions industry.

He warmly encouraged the officials, scientists and technicians of warship and weapon system research organs, hoping that they will successfully conduct the shakedown for assessing the operational executive capability of the destroyer and put the destroyers Choe Hyon and Kang Kon into commission for the Navy as soon as possible with an honorable sense of obligation and high sense of responsibility. -0-

BGSJI and KFA UK on the 89th anniversary of the battle of Pochonbo

  BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA 

  email juche007@yahoo.co.uk
                                                   
                                         

                       
                                                   

                                         London 4th of June 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI) and the Korean Friendship Association UK(KFA UK )issued the following joint statement on the occasion of the the 89th anniversary of the battle of Pochonbo .

            The battle of Pochonbo was a unique military  and political feat of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army under the command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung , a gifted military strategist, heroic partisan leader and ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander. The battle of Pochonbo struck a mighty blow against the fascistic Japanese imperialists ,striking fear into them.
    

 It was on the 4th of June 1937 that the revolutionary fighters of the KPRA carried out a daring and audacious operation to advance into the Korean homeland , under the command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. General Kim Il Sung the commander of the KPRA had put forward the bold  policy of advancing into the Korean homeland and to strike at the Japanese imperialist occupiers.
The Japanese imperialists who had annexed Korea in 1910 were severely oppressing the Korean people ,literally strangling the life out of them and trying to obliterate everything Korean. The question of advance into the homeland was simply not a military one but a political and ideological one .
  

Under the wise command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung using  brilliant Juche-orientated guerrilla tactics the Korean People's Revolutionary Army annihilated the Japanese imperialist aggressors in Pochonbo and went on to defeat them in the battles of Kouyushan and Jiansanfeng,
  

    As the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung said
" Brothers and sisters, look at the flames over there. Those raging flames show that the enemy is doomed. Those flames show the whole world that our nation is not dead but alive, and that if we fight against the Japanese imperialist plunderers we can win. Those flames will shine like a ray of hope in the hearts of our people suffering from maltreatment and hunger, and will spread throughout our three-thousand-ri land like a torch of struggle.
The Korean people are not of the “same descent” as the Japanese imperialist villains, and we do not acknowledge the idea noisily propagandized by them that “Japan and Korea are one”.
We, the KPRA, will tighten our grip on our weapons of revenge and liberate our 23 million fellow countrymen suffering from hunger and poverty, ignorance and darkness. We will liberate our fatherland come what may, and establish a people’s country free from oppression and exploitation on the land of the independent fatherland."
 Indeed the flames of Pochonbo symbolised the cleansing of Japanese imperialism from Korea and the destruction of the old society of exploitation and oppression.
  The victory in the Pochonbo battle, which was due to the protean guerrilla tactic of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung, was a powerful inspiration to the oppressed peoples of the world in their anti-imperialist ,anti-colonialist struggle . As one third world liberation fighter wrote " The beacon fire of Pochonbo marked a great event which gave confidence in struggle to not only the Korean people under the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism , but also to the world revolutionary oppressed people, groaning in those days under the heels of the imperialist aggressors -fascist Germany, Italy , Japanese imperialism and American and British imperialism "

 Today the battle of Pochonbo remains a potent  inspiration and model of success in guerrilla struggle for anti-imperialist independence movements. The beacon fire of independence lit in Pochonbo 89 years ago still burns brightly in the independent  ,self reliant DPRK the land of Juche .

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance at Newly-Inaugurated Nuclear Materials Production Factory

 Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance at Newly-Inaugurated Nuclear Materials Production Factory

Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, gave field guidance at the newly-inaugurated nuclear materials production factory on June 3.

He was accompanied by leading officials of the munitions industry department of the WPK Central Committee and the Nuclear Weapons Institute of the DPRK.

Going round new production lines based on more sophisticated technology, Comrade Kim Jong Un learned about the factory's operation indices and its long-term production plan.

He highly appreciated the fact that the nuclear materials production sector is correctly implementing the decisions adopted at recent plenary meetings of the WPK Central Committee.

He praised the group of nuclear experts for having provided a firm guarantee to improve the efficiency of all system elements in the production line and further strengthen the foundation for the production of weapons-grade nuclear materials by settling the problems decisive in putting the production of nuclear materials on a Juche basis.

Saying that the weapons-grade nuclear materials production capacity more than doubled during the past 5-year course of bolstering up the nuclear force under the direct guidance of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK, he expressed satisfaction over the fact that the WPK's line of bolstering up nuclear forces is being thoroughly carried out thanks to the high technical capability developed by the nuclear science research group.

He recalled that the Ninth Congress of the WPK adopted a strategic decision to further expand the nuclear materials production capacity and continue to increase the nuclear arsenals in line with the prospective demand of the DPRK's nuclear force, when deciding on a new five-year plan for the strengthened nuclear force to steadily enhance the country's nuclear war deterrent.

The peculiarities of the Korean revolution inevitably accompanied by long-term confrontation with the most ferocious enemies, the existing threats getting more serious every moment, potential threats and unpredictable long-term crises further highlight the urgency and responsibility of the historic mission to bolster up both in quality and quantity and in a sustained and accelerated way the nuclear war deterrent, the basic guarantee and strong safety device for reliably ensuring the security, interests and development rights of the country, he noted.

Very clear is the stand taken by our Party and government to deal with all these complex changes in the subjective and objective environments and actively cope with them, and accordingly, it is the invariable political and military stand and responsible duty we should maintain to further expand and strengthen the state nuclear forces, the pivot in implementing the strategy to deter a war and fight a war, and thoroughly exercise the position of a nuclear weapons state, he declared.

That day, there was an important consultative meeting for bolstering up the nuclear forces.

Comrade Kim Jong Un made an important conclusion clarifying the action guidelines for rapidly accelerating the qualitative and quantitative strengthening of the DPRK's nuclear forces, saying that the conditions in which the nuclear materials production capacity has greatly expanded and the development of sophisticated nuclear technology create a mature environment for going into the new next-stage of bolstering up the nuclear forces and they offer the possibility of carrying out larger plans.

Finishing his important conclusion, Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Today we have updated the digits that are critical for our nuclear activities, and discussed some key matters.

In doing so, we have comprehensively considered the tactical and strategic requirements for building up our nuclear deterrent and, on the basis of this, adopted a highly responsible and crucial decision.

We have confirmed the order of priority for implementing the ambitious future plan designed to beef up our state’s nuclear forces at an exponential rate, as well as a requisite guarantee for the purpose.

This signifies an amazing, successful change that is beyond rhetorical description, a historic event that has set up an epochal milestone in rapidly upgrading our nuclear capabilities.

This nuclear potential that we have now is inconceivable apart from the worthwhile struggle we have conducted over the past five years.

Today, I would like to pay tribute, once again, to our nuclear scientists."

He stressed that the DPRK will as ever more thoroughly and more courageously take action to defend its constitution and sovereignty and reliably ensure the security of the state by exercising in a responsible manner the inviolable authority granted by the DPRK Constitution.

He expressed expectation and belief that the DPRK's group of nuclear experts would remain faithful to the fulfillment of the sacred mission for the perfect implementation of the decision adopted by the Party for the security of the country in the present and in the future.

Comrade Kim Jong Un's inspection of the new nuclear materials production factory serves as an important occasion in clearly highlighting once again the invariable will of our Party and state to bolster up the nuclear forces in order to guarantee the country's security and right to development, deter war and defend the regional and global peace and stability by highly developing the nuclear weapons, and the great potentialities and unlimited prospect. -0-

BGSJI and KFA UK applaud the speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN on the 80th anniversary of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK

 BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA

     London 3 June 2026
 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI) and   Korean Friendship Association of the UK (UK KFA ) issued a joint statement which highly appraised the speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the Central Cadres Training School of the Workers Party of Korea(WPK) which was delivered on the 1st of June ;

In his significant speech respected Marshal KIM JONG UN points out the unique nature of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK saying that

 " In looking back upon the history of political parties of the working class, there is no party other than ours that established bases for training its cadres by itself through a well-regulated system and structure, bases capable of training its hard core, from the centre down to the regional areas in a little over a year after its founding."

The Central Cadres Training School was founded by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG . Instead of looking to other countries that had their revolution earlier to train its cadres ,the Workers Party of Korea established its own cadre training school with its own resources.

Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN stresses the need for continuity by emphasising  that 

"Even when everything else in the world may change, the original feature of the Workers' Party of Korea must remain as it is. Likewise, even when its educational environment and teaching and edification modes may change, the character and mission of the Party school must remain unchanged"

This constitutes a very important guideline for the work of party building and the work of the Party school. 

Moreover respected Marshal KIM JONG UN says that attention must be paid to maintaining revolutionary purity particularly when there is the change of generations; 

"We have to prevent the awareness of the younger generations from receding from the ideals and faith of their revolutionary forerunners, and ensure that the whole society is filled with their ethos of indomitability and staunchness with which to fight resiliently against all odds and challenges. To this end, Party schools should play their role in a responsible manner as political institutions which are assigned to get rid of all alien things and inject only the pure revolutionary spirit"

The ideological spirit should be raised up to the same level as the first generation.

Ideas such as stressing only material and economic factors and not ideological factors as well as anti-people practices such as the abuse of power and bureaucracy should be challenged and combatted .

To conclude the speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is a valuable guideline for the training of communist revolutionary cadres which is merits deep study .

80 years ago President KIM IL SUNG founded the Korean Children's Union(KCU) to bring up Korean children as the reserves of the revolution . Today the Korean Children's Union is wonderfully performing its role in bringing the successors to the revolution and pioneers of Juche.

Once upon a time many countries had Young Pioneer organisations but these have disappeared yet in People's Korea , the KCU is going strong . As respected Marshal KIM JONG UN pointed out ;

 "There have been many children's organizations in the world, which wrote their dignified histories under revolutionary slogans, but the KCU is the only one that vigorously adds lustre to its glorious history and traditions still today, carrying forward its red bloodline"

                         

Our organisations congratulate the Korean Children's Union on its 80th anniversary and wish them many more anniversaries to come .

Long live the Korean Children's Union

Crime of Japan, Sworn Enemy of Korean Nation

 

Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- During their colonial rule over Korea, the Japanese imperialists forcibly drafted and kidnapped more than 8.4 million young and middle-aged Koreans and forced medieval slave labor upon them or used them as cannon fodder.

They cooked up various evil laws such as "the National Mobilization Law" and "Ordinance on Labor Conscription", deprived the Koreans of even the elementary freedom and rights of human beings and did not provide them with the minimum working conditions.

The Koreans were compelled to slave labour at construction sites of military establishments, coal mines, mines and construction sites of dams without any labour protection facilities.

The data dating back to 1944-1945 found in Japan show that Koreans were taken to more than 540 construction sites of military facilities in Japan at that time.

The construction sites were a trap of death for them who had to do heavy physical work for 16 to 18 hours a day and 21 hours to the maximum.

At a coal mine in Kyushu of Japan, many Korean boys under the age of 15 toiled and moiled, and tens of them were buried alive at once owing to the cave-in accident.

The Japanese imperialists mercilessly massacred the people who displeased them even a bit, not being content with making them disabled.

During the period from 1940 to 1944, more than 60 000 Koreans lost their lives due to the harsh maltreatment in coal mines of Japan alone.

The Japanese imperialists' forcible drafting of Koreans was a harsh human rights abuse aimed at forcing the murderous slave labor upon them. -0-
