The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK (ASSPUK) issued the following statement on the forthcoming 20th anniversary of its formation  :


 On August 13th 2003 we took the momentous step of establishing the Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK one of the first Songun politics study organisations to be formed . We took the step because we recognised that Songun politics , which is an embodiment of the Juche idea , is a unique anti-imperialist revolutionary form of politics which meets the demands of the 21st century . Moreover as US imperialism and world imperialism were stepping up their intervention and aggression all over the world we recognised that it was only the Democratic People's Republic of Korea under the Songun revolutionary leadership of great generalissimo KIM JONG IL  that was standing up to US imperialism and facing it down particularly in the tense stand-off over the nuclear issue. Songun politics administered by the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL  to us was (and is) the cutting edge ideology of anti-imperialist class struggle and the shield for defending Juche-based socialism. Thus we decided that the study , defence and dissemination of Songun politics was the order of the day . From 2002 the British Group for the Study of the Juche Ideadiscussed many times the question of founding an organisation to defend and promote Songun politics. On the 13th of August 2003 we struck the iron while it was hot an announced the formation of the Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK.

 Founding such an organisation in an imperialist country , the UK, which is a close ally of US imperialism (the so-called "special  relationship") was not easy and we encountered some difficulties . We faced hostility from reactionaries , agents of imperialism,as well from revisionists and opportunists . However we held many meetings and seminars on Songun politics and the Songun idea. We have published many articles ,issued statements and held seminars.In December 2015 Dr Dermot Hudson , the president of the Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK , published the book " In Defence of Songun'

We have maintained and increased co-operation with the Korean Friendship Association of the UK and the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea . 

Internationally , we are pleased to be part of the International Central Committee for Songun Study and support the initative to create an International Songun University . We salute the work of the Bangladeshi writer and activist Dr M Jahanghir Khan who published the excellent book " Global Farmy Songun Internationale .

We also have maintained excellent relations with the Pyongyang Mission of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea . We also have relations with the Korean Association of Social Scientists and we have visited the DPRK many times.                                                         

Since the very day of its foundation, the ASSPUK has made remarkable distinguished successes in furthering the study and dissemination of the Juche idea and Songun idea, the great guiding ideas of our independent times, throughout the world, and staunchly defended and supported People's Korea .

The association is giving powerful backing and encouragement to the Korean people in their just cause for building a thriving socialist country and reunifying the nation under the ever-victorious Songun revolutionary leadership of great Marshal KIM JONG UN         

        Our organisation will continue to do its best to promote the in-depth study of Songun politics and the Songun idea and to disseminate it Songun politics widely as well as defending  Peoples' Korea, the land of Songun led by the dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN.


ASSPUK.
