Comrades,

On behalf of the Iceland-Korea Friendship Association, I extend warmest revolutionary greetings to all international friends of the Korean people gathered for this significant seminar, and I thank the speakers for their addresses. We gather to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's glorious liberation – a pivotal moment in world history made possible by the heroic struggle of the Korean people under the unparalleled leadership of the Eternal President, Kim Il Sung.

President Kim Il Sung’s name is forever synonymous with Korea’s independence and the revolutionary spirit of Juche – the philosophy of self-reliance. Facing the brutal oppression of imperialist Japan, he didn't seek salvation from others. Instead, he ignited the Korean People's flame of Resistance from within, founding the immortal Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army. This struggle, rooted in the conviction that Korea's destiny must be shaped by Koreans themselves, culminated in the world-historic liberation on August 15, 1945. This victory wasn't gifted from others; it was won through unwavering belief in the people's strength and the principle of Juche.

The concept of self-reliance championed by President Kim Il Sung transcended the battlefield. It became the bedrock upon which the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was built. In the face of devastating war and relentless pressure, he guided the Korean people to rely on their own resources, ingenuity, and revolutionary spirit. They rebuilt their shattered homeland, established socialist foundations, and defended their sovereignty against formidable odds - guided by the Juche idea.

Self-reliance wasn't merely an economic policy; it was, and remains, a declaration of political and ideological independence, a shield against domination, and the engine of national dignity.

Today, eight decades later, the legacy of President Kim Il Sung shines brighter than ever. People's Korea, under the leadership of the respected Marshal Comrade Kim Jong Un, upholds and develops the Juche idea and the revolutionary traditions of self-reliance. Despite an international environment marked by barbaric imperialist aggression, blockade, and unprecedented challenges, the Korean people demonstrate stalwart determination and strength, advancing their socialist system, safeguarding their sovereignty, and pursuing scientific and technological achievements on their own terms. Great projects for the wellbeing and power of the Korean people are realized constantly. This unwavering commitment to self-determination, upheld by the respected Marshal Comrade Kim Jong Un, is a direct continuation of the path forged by President Kim Il Sung.

The Iceland-Korea Friendship Association, like all the Korean Friendship Associations , stands in solidarity with the Korean people and their world-historic anti-imperialist struggle and admires their steadfast commitment to the principle of self-reliance. We recognize the profound significance of Juche – the right of every nation to determine its own destiny, free from external interference. In a world still grappling with colonial oppression, savage imperialist aggression and foreign domination, the message of self-reliance championed by President Kim Il Sung resonates deeply with the peoples of the world today. It is a powerful reminder that true independence and real sustainable progress come from believing in and cultivating one's own strength.

As we reflect on 80 years since liberation, let us reaffirm the enduring relevance of President Kim Il Sung's revolutionary ideas. Let us celebrate the triumph of the Korean people's revolutionary victory and their unwavering commitment to building their future based on the invincible principle of Juche.

We thank you comrades, for organizing this vital seminar and providing a platform for international friends of the Korean people to honor this profound legacy. May the spirit of liberation and self-reliance continue to inspire all peoples striving for independence, peace, and justice.

Long live the immortal revolutionary spirit of President Kim Il Sung!

Long live the invincible Juche Idea!

Long live People's Korea

Mansei!
