The Korean Friendship Association UK (KFA UK ) and British Group for the Study of the Juche held a meeting to mark the 72nd anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the great Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialist and the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese imperialist rule. The meeting was held on the 26th of July at 1400 hours BST in the Vida Walsh Centre , Brixton . Attending the meeting were members and supporters of KFA UK , also leadership members of the New Communist Party including the general secretary and politburo members of the party , a supporter of the RCPBML and members of the general public .


In opening the meeting Dr Dermot Hudson , Chairman of KFA UK and Chairman of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea said that the visit of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN to the Sinchon Class Education Centre  is highly significant as it shows that the DPRK is committed to the line of anti-Americanism and strengthening anti-imperialist class education .



In his keynote address Dr Hudson said in part that “In today’s world we are seeing an increase in aggression and intervention by US imperialism and its proxies such as the Zionists so it is important to  increase solidarity with People’s Korea  , an anti-imperialist socialist country . We are here today to mark two important victories of People’s Korea against imperialism . Tomorrow July 27th is the 72nd anniversary of the victory against the US imperialists in the Fatherland Liberation War (which is misleadingly referred to as the Korean War in the West ) and in less than 3 weeks from now it will be the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Korea from Japanese imperialist colonial rule on August 15th  . Both victories were the fruit of the Juche idea and are associated with the leadership of President KIM IL SUNG . Both are an example of a small country winning victory by its own efforts against overwhelming odds.” 



Andy Brooks, general secretary of the New Communist Party recalled the great victory of the Korean people in the Fatherland Liberation War . He pointed out that the south Korean troops in the War were reduced to the role of ancillaries and servants for the US imperialist forces .



The speeches were followed by a Q and A session which sparked interesting discussion . There were questions about the DPRK’s policies on Palestine and Israel and questions about building solidarity with the DPRK including reaching out to progressive ex service people .



A letter to respected Marshal KIM JONG UN was adopted.

  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...

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...
