Joint Declaration of the Nordic Regional Seminar for Friendship with the Korean People

We, representatives of friendship associations, Juche study groups and anti-imperialist

organisations, gathered from across Europe, issue this collective declaration on the occasion of this

important seminar in Copenhagen. Convening on the 81st founding anniversary of the Workers’

Party of Korea, we stand united in declaring our firm solidarity with the Democratic People’s

Republic of Korea and affirming its monumental achievements in socialist construction.

Despite years of severe global health crises, natural disasters, and ongoing imperialist sanctions, the

DPRK has entered a dynamic new era of socialist development. Guided by the strategic decisions of

the 8th and 9th Congresses of the Workers' Party of Korea under the leadership of General-Secretary

Kim Jong Un , the country is demonstrating that people-centered development thrives under the

banner of self-reliance. The unprecedented transformation of urban and regional life across the

country is clearly visible in projects such as the swift construction of 50,000 modern apartments in

Pyongyang, provided to the working people free of charge, as well as the revolutionary 20×10

policy, which is constructing modern industrial plants, regional hospitals, and local infrastructure

across 20 cities and counties each year to eliminate regional disparities. Furthermore, new welfare

and leisure facilities such as the Wonsan-Kalma Beach Resort, the Yangdok Hot Spring Resort, and

advanced agricultural sites like the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm reflect a state entirely

dedicated to elevating the cultural life, leisure, and health of its entire population.

These monumental achievements of Korean socialism are made possible by the state’s unyielding

defence of its independence. In the face of constant military encirclement, aggressive joint

exercises, and nuclear threats by US imperialism and its regional military alliances, the DPRK’s

constitutional decision to strengthen its defensive nuclear deterrent remains entirely justified and

serves as the primary guarantee of peace and stability in the region. Recognising that imperialist

powers rely heavily on systematic disinformation to isolate the DPRK, our solidarity movement

commits to elevating the quality and reach of our propaganda work. By utilising truth as our

primary weapon and adopting modern communication formats, including digital media and broad

cultural outreach, we will effectively counter hostile propaganda and present the genuine reality of

the DPRK to workers and students all across Europe.

Approaching the centenary of the Down With Imperialism Union, the international situation

demands a bold leap forward in our collective work. Connecting with the growing anti-imperialist

consciousness and disdain for US imperialism, we commit ourselves to expand international

coordination through the European Regional Committee for Friendship and Solidarity with the

Korean People, promote joint campaigns across borders and actively organise progressive people

into the movement. We extend our revolutionary greetings to the Korean people and the Workers'

Party of Korea, affirming our unwavering commitment to build a powerful and unified solidarity

movement with the DPRK.

Long live the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Workers’ Party of Korea!

Long live international solidarity against imperialist aggression!

Strengthen the European solidarity movement with the Korean people!
