Speech for the European E-Seminar: “President KIM IL SUNG and Self-Reliance” By Mohamed-Ayoub Zhouri, Official Delegate of KFA France

Dear comrades, respected friends and colleagues,




It is an honour for the Korean Friendship Association of France to participate in this meaningful seminar, marking the legacy of President KIM IL SUNG and his immortal contribution to the principle of self-reliance.




The name of President KIM IL SUNG is inseparable from the concept of Juche, a philosophy that redefined the way a nation stands, builds and asserts itself in the face of adversity and imperialist pressures. In an era where many newly liberated nations were searching for models to follow, the DPRK — under the guidance of President KIM IL SUNG — chose not to follow but to lead, through a path of independence, dignity and pride.




Self-reliance is not merely an economic or political strategy. It is a state of mind. A nation that believes in itself, that refuses subjugation, and that prioritizes its people’s sovereignty — this is the essence of Juche. And today, more than ever, the world needs examples of this courage.




In France, we live in a system that constantly claims to promote peace and human rights. But these claims are contradicted daily by policies that serve foreign interests, by media controlled by economic elites, and by the exportation of instability through wars, embargoes and colonial nostalgia. In such a context, the DPRK stands as a mirror to the hypocrisy of Western narratives.




President KIM IL SUNG showed that a small country can stand tall if its people are united and conscious. He showed that dignity cannot be sanctioned, and that independence cannot be negotiated away. This lesson speaks not only to Koreans, but to all the oppressed, the exploited, the colonised, and the disillusioned youth of the West who seek alternatives to a decaying system.




As KFA France, our commitment is to continue this ideological struggle in the Western front. Not through slogans, but through facts. Not by preaching to the converted, but by educating, informing, and exposing the contradictions of imperialism. We believe that President KIM IL SUNG’s vision is not a relic of the past — it is a guide for the future.




Today, new generations are rising. They are connected, alert, and no longer trust the dominant narratives. We aim to channel this energy, to build bridges of understanding, and to honour the Korean people by showing that their resistance inspires others — even from the very heart of the imperialist core.




Let this seminar be not only a tribute to the past, but a launchpad for future actions. Let it mark the rise of a new momentum in Europe — coordinated, disciplined, and united behind the truth.




Long live the DPRK. Long live the principle of self-reliance. And long live the friendship between our peoples.




Mohamed-Ayoub Zhouri

  Dear Comrades, We are joining today from various countries across Europe and the world to celebrate together the upcoming great holiday of our Dear Korean Friends, the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese military occupation. Though thousands of kilometers separate our countries from the Korean Peninsula, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and its people are very close to our hearts. Like progressives all around the world, we look up to the DPRK as the greatest inspiration, the brightest beacon of hope, the strongest bulwark of justice. One of the main pillars of this great country that we all admire so deeply is self-reliance – the priceless tradition of the Korean revolution and powerful driving force for the Korean people's victory – the principle of Juche idea founded by the great leader President Kim Il Sung . The upcoming anniversary of the day of the liberation of Koreans from the yoke of Japanese colonial rule, is associated with the great ex...

STATEMENT IN CELEBRATION OF THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF KOREA’S LIBERATION FROM JAPANESE IMPERIALISM-Nikolai Aamand Chairman of the Denmark-DPRK Friendship Association

  On August 15th 1945, the Korean people cast off the cruel yoke of Japanese imperialism. After forty five years of colonial rule, Korea was liberated — not by chance, but through decades of determined resistance and immense sacrifice. We remember the countless revolutionaries who gave everything for the cause of liberation and socialism. From the great March 1st uprising in 1919 to the network of underground People’s Committees, their efforts formed the backbone of the liberation movement. Foremost among these was Commander in Chief Kim Il Sung, leader of the Anti-Japanese People’s Guerrilla Army. From the forests of northern Korea and Manchuria, his fighters dealt heavy blows to imperialist forces and ignited a flame of resistance that could not be extinguished. Japanese occupation was an era of forced assimilation, looting of resources, and barbaric repression. Korean identity was suppressed; millions were sent to work as forced laborers, and countless young women were coerced i...
