Speech by Kimlong Ly President of the KFA CAMBODIA On the 84th Anniversary of the Birth of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il and the 78th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Korean People’s Army


Dear Comrades, and friends

Today, we gather here in London in the spirit of respect, solidarity, and revolutionary pride to mark two profoundly significant occasions: the 84th anniversary of the birth of the Great Leader, Comrade Kim Jong Il, and the 78th anniversary of the foundation of the heroic Korean People’s Army. These anniversaries are not just merely historical milestones; they are living reminders of the strength, dignity, and resilience of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.


Today, I am honored to be here to speak and listen to friends of the DPRK who deeply admire the Korean people’s unwavering commitment to sovereignty, independence, and socialism.


Comrade Kim Jong Il stands in history as a strong figure of strong revolutionary leadership. He faithfully upheld and creatively developed Juche-based socialism, the great idea first pioneered by President Kim Il Sung. Juche is not just an abstract theory; but it is a people-centered philosophy that places political independence, economic self-reliance, and self-defensive national security at the heart of state-building. Under Comrade Kim Jong Il’s leadership, Juche was transformed into a powerful guiding force capable of defending socialism in one of the most hostile geopolitical environments in the world.


Closely linked to Juche is the historic role of the Korean People’s Army, founded 78 years ago. The KPA is not merely a military force; it is the pillar of the revolution, a defender of the Korean people, and a symbol of national sovereignty. Through decades of confrontation, war threats, and military encirclement, the KPA has stood firm, ensuring that the DPRK remains unconquered and respected.


It is within this historical and security context that we must understand why the DPRK is right to possess nuclear weapons.


So Today I am very happy to join all comrade and friends in the celebration of these 2 milestones and may today’s meeting be very successful. 


Thank you comrades and friends for your attention.
