Speech of Dr Dermot Hudson to the online meeting to remember President KIM IL SUNG 06.07.2023

Our organisation, the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea  , the Korean Friendship Association of the UK and Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK  remember the great leader President KIM IL SUNG , who passed away 29 years ago on the 8th of July 1994. 


The anniversary of the passing away of President KIM IL SUNG this year takes place  in a year which will see significant ,great and momentous anniversaries of the DPRK ;in a few weeks it will be the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War against the aggressive US imperialists and on September 9th it is the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea , the state which President KIM IL SUNG is the eternal leader of .


A delegation of the then Juche Idea Study Group of England was the last British delegation to be in the DPRK shortly before President KIM IL SUNG passed away.  During our visit which took place at the end of June 1994 , we saw President KIM IL SUNG every night on the tv meeting foreign guests such as Ludo Martens head of the Workers Party of Belgium . When we arrived in the DPRK we saw copies of ‘Rodong Sinmun ‘ with pictures of President KIM IL SUNG giving on -the spot guidance to the Taesong Co-operative farm . It was incredible that President KIM IL SUNG was still carrying on work at the age of 82 , many would have retired long ago. Indeed President KIM IL SUNG was working on state documents in the early hours of the morning when he passed away on the 8th of July 1994.   


       During his lifetime President KIM IL SUNG visited 20,000 different units in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) travelling more than 578,000 kilometres which is the equivalent of travelling around the globe many times . The number of days of President KIM IL SUNG’s field guidance totalled 8,650 from the period after Korea’s liberation in 1945 to the end of his life in 1994 . This works out at 176 days per year     


   President KIM IL SUNG worked all his life for the independence of the people. . He was a tireless fighter who battled against imperialism all his life, leading the Korean people first against the rapacious Japanese imperialists, then against the barbaric US imperialists . President KIM IL SUNG waged a 15 year long  armed struggle against the Japanese imperialists becoming a legendary general distinguished by his adroit guerrilla tactics.He gave the Korean people independence and liberation ,something that is so precious it cannot be bartered for billions of tons of gold bullion.

   President KIM IL SUNG was the ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander and gifted military strategist who defeated the US imperialist aggressors who had tried to crush People's Korea when it was in its cradle .Thus again he defended the independence of the people.

    Under the leadership of  the great leader President KIM IL SUNG ,two stages of revolution were carried out : the anti-imperialist,anti-feudal democratic revolution and the socialist revolution.He founded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) , an unique socialist state of Juche centred on the popular masses ,a people's paradise.The DPRK is a most durable ,stable and harmonious socialist state. The DPRK has survived when other countries did not see their 75th anniversaries .

                                   

                                       





                                                                         






    The great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG ensured that Rightist and Leftist deviations were avoided in the construction of socialism. Moreover socialism in Korea was not a copy of another country but Korean-style socialism, an independent Juche socialism. The DPRK upheld socialist principles when others introduced capitalist-style methods.

   Independence, independence and independence was the creed of the great leader President KIM IL SUNG . He authored the Juche Idea which lights the road of independence for the popular masses and teaches us that man is the master of everything .The Juche idea captivated the anti-imperialists and revolutionaries throughout the world .Thousands of seminars on the Juche idea have been held all over the world.

    The Songun idea initiated by the great leader generalissimo KIM IL SUNG  in  the fiery days of the anti-Japanese armed struggle  is based on the concept that independence is achieved by arms and the victorious revolution is defended by arms .The Songun idea , which has been implemented by the worthy successors of the great leader generalissimo KIM IL SUNG, eternal general secretary KIM JONG IL and dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , is the treasured sword that defends the independence and dignity of People's Korea the bastion of world socialism.

    Comrade KIM IL SUNG always struggled uncompromisingly against US led world imperialism . He upheld unity against division when the international communist movement and socialist camp suffered from sharp differences. The great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG held the red flag of socialism high when others abandoned it. He was a great revolutionary true to his faith until the very last moments of his life. President KIM IL SUNG put forward the line of global independence and was known as the sun of the world revolution.

  The great leader President KIM IL SUNG put forward  correct policies for independent national reunification as well as for the south Korean revolution.

 We remember  great  President KIM IL SUNG as the eternal leader of the Korean people and WPK ,  the greatest of great leaders who was the author of the Juche idea, the benevolent liberator of the Korean people, the ever-victorious iron-willed commander and the outstanding leader of the world revolution. The ideas and cause of the great leader President KIM IL SUNG is being faithfully carried forward by dear respected leader  Marshal KIM JONG UN , who is identical to the great leader President KIM IL SUNG.

THE GREAT LEADER PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG IS ALWAYS WITH US !
