From the DPRK Cultural Relations Committee - Korean Associations for Friendship with European Countries About DPRK Foundation Day


Warm greetings from Pyongyang.


Coming 9th September will mark the 72nd founding anniversary of the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea.


9th September 1948, the founding of the DPRK was the remarkable event for the first time in the history of the Korean nation that opened a new era of building the genuine sovereign state and the people's country.


The arduous route of our country was to endure the worst trials the like of which the world had never seen in the history.


The difficulties to overcome such as the fierce Korean war(1950~1953), the postwar reconstruction upon the heaps of ashes, war threats which has been lasted for scores of years and extreme economical difficulties caused by the imperialists' maneuvers to isolate and stifle our Korea , blocked our advance.


Nevertheless, our Korean people never gave up the way, but overcame all the challenges facing our advance under the wise leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and comrade Kim Jong Il, thus turned our country into a powerful state admired by the world peoples, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defense.


On the contrary to several nations who surrendered to the imperialists' pressure by giving up the revolutionary principles, our fatherland achieved the independent development by holding fast to their independent position in the persistent obstacles of the imperialists and hostile forces, It is no doubt a miracle.


The basic key, by which we Korea won victory after victory without any slightest twist or deviation even in the unprecedented difficulties, lies in strictly adhering to and embodying the revolutionary line of the independence.


Unless the country has self-supporting economic foundation and self-defensive capabilities, it can not realize the independent politics but it would have to study others' faces.


Under the Japanese colonialism, our country was remained just only a backward colonial agrarian country until 1945 but after the liberation our people carried out the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution successfully. And they started everything again in the debris of the war (1950~1953) provoked by the US and created another miracle by completing the task of socialist industrialization in such a short span of 14 years.


Thanks to the self-supporting national economy with development of metallurgical industry free from cokes, independent chemical industry based on domestic raw materials, powerful heavy and light industrial foundation, our country is achieving great leaps day by day even in the severe "sanctions" by the hostile forces. Today our scientific and technological potentials are being recognized by the world society.


Our Korean people, who had been subjected to the fate of colonial slavery, having no power to safeguard ourselves, directed the first and foremost efforts to strengthening the national defense capabilities. Today we Korea became a military power that nobody can dare to covet and we enjoy the position of a strategic state.


The history and realities of our fatherland proves the truth that the great leader makes even a small country into a powerful state.


It is totally thanks to having great leaders in our country, which is small in size and its population, turned into today's power in only 72 years.


The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and comrade Kim Jong Il were the great persons who recieved the boundless admiration and respect of the world peoples.


The invincibility of socialist Korea is getting stronger under the wise leadership of the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.


Our country will be ever-victorious and surely shape a more splendid future under the brilliant political skill and art of leadership of the respected marshal Kim Jong Un.


Yours Sincerely,


on behalf of all Korean Associations for Friendship with European Countries
