 Good afternoon , comrades - delegates of the Korean Friendship Association. There is a simple reason that we are today. This is a consequence of individuals whom constituted themselves around a motivation that nearly all nations have centred around. A dignified life in a free land.  ... 80 years ago, the dedication, sacrifice, feverous resistance against the efforts of Imperial Japanese Colonialism - a tidal wave raging over the Korean peninsula - resulted in the national liberation of Korea.   Inspired by feverous efforts that allowed even more awe inspiring efforts. Canadians from the Atlantic to the pacific dedicated themselves to combat the disorganization of the organization that continues to stand against the torrent of jingoistic aggression against the Korean People. KFA-Canada had demonstrated our capacity that we are still here, that we still believe in the freedom & dignity of the Korean People. We stand for a peaceful & dignified friendship between Can...

  In mid-June 1926, Kim Il Sung moved from Fusong to Huadian to enter Hwasong Uisuk School. He analysed and judged the education provided at Hwasong Uisuk School from a unique point of view and a critical approach. He avidly read The Communist Manifesto and other books on Marxism-Leninism, and studied the revolutionary principles expounded in those classics in connection with the actual situation of Korea. In the course of this, he was convinced that the way ahead of the Korean revolution lay in overthrowing Japanese imperialism, liberating the country and building a new society where the masses of working people, including workers and peasants, would be well-off. He considered it necessary to train genuine revolutionaries of a new generation, unaffected by sycophancy and factionalism, in order to pave a new way for the Korean revolution, and started this work among the students of Hwasong Uisuk School. As a result, the tide of sympathy for the new thought increased day by day amo...

 

 Dear friends, I am writing these words on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean homeland from Japanese imperialism.  On this occasion, I join you in remembering the great guidance of the eternal president KIM IL SUNG, whose great abilities and thoughts led him to be a pioneer in the struggle against the imperialist invader. These abilities and thoughts were born from the patriotic tradition that KIM IL SUNG learned from his uncle and father, as well as from his relatives who gave their lives to see their country free from foreign disturbance.   This was a great support for the development of the military and political/social organizations that later took centre stage in the liberation of the homeland.   The Juche ideology began to take shape in response to the question of “who will liberate Korea?” Based on this premise, Kim Il Sung led the Korean people through guerrilla warfare against Japanese fascism, taking charge of their own l...

   http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/21012  2024.8.14. August 15 marks the 79th anniversary of national liberation. Greeting the day, Korean people are paying the highest tribute and glory to President Kim Il Sung. We are now recollecting with deep emotion his immortal exploits of national liberation and nation-building. He led the arduous anti-Japanese war to victory, accomplished the historic cause of national liberation, and built the country into a full-fledged independent sovereign state and an invincible socialist country of Juche. The anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle organized and led by President Kim Il Sung was a revolutionary war aimed at defeating the heinous Japanese imperialists to win back the sovereignty and dignity of the country and nation. In his early years of revolution, President Kim Il Sung, keeping in mind the philosophy that dependence on foreign forces would not bring national liberation, held fast to the idea of national independence and tha...

    In many countries discrimination , ill treatment and even violence against women is very common but there is one country in the world where women are truly equal, even regarded as the “flower of the country “. That country is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea(DPRK) also known as People’s Korea . 79 years ago on the 30th of July 1946 the Provisional People’s Committee of North Korea passed the Law on Sexual Equality which made women legally equal with men . It was profound and far reaching as it ended centuries of double and triple oppression of women .For the first time ever women could vote , something that would have been simply unimaginable under feudalism and Japanese colonial rule . Women also gained equal pay for equal work ,something that only happened decades later in capitalist countries. In fact even today in many Western countries the gender pay gap still exists. Unlike the Western countries, People's Korea has backed up legalisation with concrete and pr...

  http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/22527  2025.7.27. Our Republic achieved a decisive victory in the 3-year-long Fatherland Liberation War – the fierce war with disparity in numbers, unparalleled in the history of world wars in terms of numerical and technical incomparability. It has been 72 years since the very historic day when mountains and rivers echoed with the shouts of victory over a strong imperialist enemy. Amid the harshest-ever conditions and environment, a young country – barely two years old – defeated the U.S. imperialist forces boasting itself as the “world’s mightiest” and their vassal forces from almost 20 countries. Such an unprecedentedly great history of victory proudly teaches us a philosophical truth. It is the immutable theory that the people and army led by an outstanding leader are always invincible even in the face of extreme difficulties and even in the attack by a formidable enemy. President Kim Il Sung, the peerless patriot and the ever-victoriou...

                                                                     July 27th is celebrated by the Korean people as Victory over America Day and their second liberation day .In People’s Korea it is a public holiday . I remember visiting the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in July 2013 for the 60th anniversary of the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War and seeing people enjoying picnics on July 27th . That year the public holiday for July 27th was extended to 4 days instead of 1.  On July 27th 1953  the Yankee imperialist aggressors were forced to concede defeat by signing the Korean Armistice Agreement. General Mark Clark the US commander admitted that “"In carrying out the instructions of my government, I gained the unenviable distinction of being the first United States commander in hi...

  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...
