A short message of greetings was received from Keith Bennett ,vice director general of the European Regional Society for the Study of the Juche Idea .

Dr Dermot Hudson,Chairman of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea  in his opening remarks drew attention to the strained situation on the Korean peninsula caused by the drone terrorism of the fascist south Korean puppets . He also pointed out that respected Marshal KIM JONG UN had published a new work “Officials Should Become Communist Revolutionaries Who Are Possessed of the Party’s Original Ideals and Spirit as Their Mental Qualities” which mentions revisionism and opposes reformism .

The secretary general of the British Group For the Study of the Juche Idea  made a speech on the theme of “Why Juche “ in which he explained the essence of the Juche idea pointing out that the Juche idea is a people centred idea that serves the interests of the people . Moreover the Juche idea is based on the philosophical principle that man is the master and the popular masses are the master of revolution and construction . Juche is studied by many people in the world . The first Juche idea study was formed in the West African country of Mali in 1969 . The Juche idea was studied by the Black Panther Party in the US and by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The secretary general of the British Group For the Study of the Juche Idea will now be far more active than in the past in disseminating and studying the Juche Idea.

Dr Dermot Hudson reported on the recent European Regional Seminar on the Juche Idea that was held in Sofia ,Bulgaria under the auspices of the European Regional Society For the Study of the Juche Idea and attended by a delegation of the Korean Association of Social Scientists . The seminar was on the theme of Sovereignty , Independence and New International Relations. Many interesting speeches were made and new ideas for work were suggested.

Dr Hudson also made a speech about the 79th anniversary of the foundation of the Workers Party of Korea in which he said in part “Thus the WPK is truly a people-oriented party that puts the people first . It is not like political parties in capitalist countries which do not serve the interests of the people . It is also different to the former ruling parties in former socialist countries which had become divorced from the masses of people due to bureaucracy and revisionism. Unlike political parties in capitalist countries which are only for the elite or the so-called “chattering classes “ , ordinary people can join it . Whilst visiting the DPRK I have seen waitresses and drivers with WPK badges”

After the speeches there were lively discussions on subjects like how best to disseminate the Juche idea and the work of disseminating the Juche idea in the academic world .

Light refreshments were served.

Literature from the DPRK including the works of President KIM IL SUNG , Chairman KIM JONG IL  and Marshal KIM JONG UN was displayed .

The meeting concluded at 16.40 hours.
