The International Online Seminar “ “Cheers of Victory Reverberating Down Many Decades “ organised by the Korean Friendship Association and the European Regional Committee For Friendship with the Korean People was held to mark the 73rd anniversary of the Korean people’s great victory in the Fatherland Liberation War Against the US imperialist Aggressors .
The seminar received written papers from Austria , Croatia , Denmark , Germany , Greece ,Hungary , India , Italy , Iraq, Mexico , Pakistan ,Poland,Singapore , Sweden ,Switzerland, Turkey , UK and from the KFA President Alejandro Cao Benos and the KFA International communications secretary .
On the afternoon of the 26th of July an online symposium took place hosted by the Korean Friendship Association . It was participated in by the following countries ;UK , Austria , Croatia , Denmark , Germany,India, Pakistan, Poland Spain , Sweden and Switzerland . KFA UK members from London, the north west and Staffordshire .
A message from the DPRK Embassy in London was received and read out by KFA UK Chairman Dr Dermot Hudson . The message read in part ; “The great victory of Juche Korea heralded the dawn of history in which a small nation defeated a major power.
DPRK thwarted the U.S. imperialists' strategy for world domination, prevented a new world war, safeguarded peace, and saved the planet from a potential nuclear catastrophe.
The Fatherland Liberation War marked the prelude to a new world war. Having emerged as the ringleader of imperialism after World War II, the United States sought to realize its strategy for global hegemony.”
Christer Lundgren chairman of the European Regional Committee for Friendship with the Korean People(ERCFKP) and head of the Sweden -Korea Friendship Association said that July 27th was the great victory of the Korean people in the Fatherland Liberation against the US and pointed out “It should be remembered that the South Korean puppet regime, hell bent on continuing the war, refused to sign the armistice agreement, so any talk about a Korean north-south armistice is simply wrong. The conflict remains one between the People's Korea and the US imperialists”
Martin Lotscher head of KFA Switzerland and vice-chairman of the ERCFKP said that “The Korean people's great victory in the Great Fatherland Liberation War encouraged all peoples in Asia, Africa and Latin America who were still fighting for their own liberation and freedom.
Korea's Great Fatherland Liberation War became the model for antiimperialist and national liberation struggle”
Alejandro Cao De Benos , President of the Korean Friendship Association in his contribution stated “Today, we declare with absolute confidence that such a war will never happen again. The tragic suffering of the 1950s will not be repeated. Thanks to the steadfast military development of the Republic, it now possesses a reliable and effective war deterrent. The nuclear forces serve as the core of military sovereignty and the centerpiece of self-defense strategy. As Comrade Marshal KIM JONG UN has emphasized, the DPRK has advanced along the path of a nuclear-armed state, overcoming all oppression and challenges to secure absolute power capable of preventing and deterring war itself. The military capabilities—from the nuclear arsenal to the recently commissioned Choe Hyon Destroyer—stand as an unbreachable shield. The imperialists know well that any new adventure on the Korean Peninsula would invite a catastrophic response”
Dr Dermot Hudson head of KFA UK and Secretary general of the ERCFKP explained that “The title of this seminar “Cheers Of Victory Reverberating Down Many Decades “ is very apt and relevant because the cheers of victory on July 27th 1953 in Pyongyang still echo today not just in Pyongyang but around the entire world . Today, when US led imperialism is carrying out aggression all over the world and some countries are crumbling, it is important to recall the great victory of the Korean people against US imperialism in the 1950s.
Often the imperialists like to refer to the Korean War (more correctly called the Fatherland Liberation War ) as the “unknown war “ or “forgotten war “ . The reason for this can be found in the statement of right wing US military historian Bevin Alexander , himself an officer in the US imperialist aggression forces during the war , who wrote that the Fatherland Liberation War was the “first war we lost”. The infamous reactionary senator JR McCarthy said that ““we suffered a serious defeat in Korea “.”
Paula A , KFA International Communications Secretary said that “May we never forget the glorious achievements Eternal President KIM IL SUNG, the Korean People’s Army and the Korean people made to liberate their country, remain sovereign and guarantee the bright future of their children”
Speakers from KFA Austria , KFA Croatia , KFA Germany and KFA Hungary addressed the meeting. Javed Ansari of the Pakistan Korea Friendship and Solidarity Committee greeted the meeting .
Written contributions from KFA Greece and Marta Grelak of Poland were read out by Dr Dermot Hudson.
A message to respected Marshal KIM JONG UN was adopted.
The short documentary film “Victorious Fatherland Liberation Museum “ was streamed to the participants .
The event concluded at 1455 hours BST.
