The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea , the UK Korean Friendship Association and Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK held an online meeting on the 25th of April to mark the 88th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean People's Army . The meeting started at 1400 hours and was participated in by people from Britain and Serbia with greetings being sent from Brazil and Ireland.
Dr Dermot Hudson opened the meeting saying that the anniversary of the KPA is a very important anniversary .He spoke of the need to defend People's Korea from the false and slanderous rumours being spread by the imperialists with the aim of destablising the DPRK and overthrowing the socialist system. Shaun Pickford secretary general of the BGSJI and chairman of Staffordshire KFA said the rumours about the DPRK were being spread deliberately to divert attention away from the Covid 19 crisis which has been disastrously handled by the extremely incompetent ruling class authorities .
Dr Dermot Hudson said that April 25th 1932 marked the birth of the Juche revolutionary armed forces of People's Korea as it was when President KIM IL SUNG founded the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army which was to become the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA ) and was transformed into a standing regular armed force on the 8th of February 1948 . The KPRA fought many battles including the famous battle of Pochonbo in 1937 . It was the KPRA that played the decisive role in liberating Korea from Japanese imperialism .
After being transformed into a regular revolutionary armed force the KPA honorably defended the independence and freedom of the DPRK during the Fatherland Liberation War and in the showdowns with US imperialism during the Fatherland Liberation War and the contemporary period .
Dr Hudson stressed that there are three important features of the KPA that distinguish it first that is an army of workers and peasants , secondly it is self-reliant and based on Juche , and thirdly it is a true people's army that helps the people . Dr Hudson also pointed that the KPA has given internationalist assistance to other countries and concluded that the KPA is today defending the gains of Juche socialism.
The delegate of KFA Serbia said that "The KPA today stands as one of the few revolutionary armed forces of the world legitimately challenging US imperialism and keeping the US imperialist wolves on a leash, not allowing them complete dominance over the lives of people of the world, many of whom are living under their puppet neo-colonial capitalist governments, and allowing independent self-reliant socialist construction in Korea by safeguarding its people, which is why it is important to mark this important holiday and remember the history of this great revolutionary armed forces on its 88th founding anniversary."
Shaun Pickford secretary general of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and chairman of Staffordshire KFA said that if you visit the DPRK you will saw clear blue skies with no enemy planes flying in them . This is the great achievement of the KPA .
