The
Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK, Juche Idea Study Group
of England and UK Korean Friendship Association held an extremely
successful meeting on the 11th of February 2017 to celebrate the Day of the Shining Star the 75th anniversary of the birth of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL. The meeting was attended by members of the
ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA. The meeting was also honoured by the presence
of Prof Dr Harish Gupta director general of the International Institute
of the Juche Idea and head of the Asian Regional Institute of the Juche
Idea.
Dr Dermot Hudson president of the ASSPUK and Chairman of the JISGE
opened the meeting bidding a warm welcome to those who had travelled
from afar to the meeting . He said that they were celebrating the 75th
anniversary of the birth of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL. He
said that the birth anniversary of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL
is celebrated all over the world because comrade KIM JONG IL developed
and systematised the Juche Idea and turned the DPRK into a socialist
military giant .
Dr Hudson made the keynote address saying as follows (excerpts )"The
hostile forces chiefly the US imperialists predicted the collapse of
People's Korea and the end of Juche socialism but comrade KIM JONG IL
skilfully led the Korean people through the difficult period of the
"arduous march " when the DPRK faced unprecedented natural disasters ,
the disappearance of the world socialist market and sanctions of the
imperialists. He turned the situation around and put the DPRK on the
launchpad to becoming a thriving socialist nation.
Basically great comrade KIM JONG IL developed the great Juche Idea
which had been authored by the great leader President KIM IL SUNG and
made People's Korea into a socialist military giant that every day
defies the US ...it can be said that comrade KIM JONG IL found a Korea
with rifles and artillery and left with atomic weapons and long range
missiles ...
The great leader comrade KIM JONG IL systematised the Juche Idea in the
classic treatise "ON THE JUCHE IDEA " ...KIM JONG IL for the first time
in the history of philosophy defined man as having independence
,creativity and consciousness...
Thus as we approach the significant 75th anniversary of the birth
of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL we recall his great exploits
developing the Juche Idea and the Songun Idea. To conclude the best way
to mark the birth anniversary of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL is
to more actively disseminate the Juche Idea and Songun idea "
David , UK KFA Organisation secretary said "Kim
Jong Il always stands out for his humility in his classic khaki suit
away from military clothing and medals, and with his old coat, the only
one he worn for more than 10 years since the Arduous March, during the
years of building socialism he brought happiness and self-reliance to
his people. Comrade Kim Jong Il said that his coat symbolizes the Songun
revolution and the Arduous March and that he would not take it off so
this hard episode is not forgotten and that will always lead him to the
final victory!
After
the collapse of the socialist block comrade Kim Jong Il wrote his great
work ´´Giving Priority to Ideological work is essential to
accomplishing socialism´´19 of June, 1995. One work that I always
recommend to study every year in his anniversary, where comrade Kim Jong
Il exposed that socialism can only be build prioritizing ideology over
all other factors to achieve the communist consciousness and not to fall
into revisionism, opportunism and capitalist road.
This
proves that the Korean people are the only country that fully developed
the Ideological consciousness and the advance of socialist construction
towards communist society....
Another
great achievement of comrade Kim Jong Il was the highest step to
achieve the reunification of the Korean peninsula between 2000 till
2008"
Prof Dr Harish Gupta said that 2017 is a most significant year as it
will be the 105th anniversary of the birth of the great leader President
KIM IL SUNG and the birth anniversary of the great leader comrade KIM
JONG IL. Dr Gupta said that comrade KIM JONG IL made a massive
contribution in the field of philosophy. Dr Gupta said that the US is
threatening the DPRK with military exercises and if the US president is
sincere he should withdraw the US troops from south Korea.
Shaun Pickford secretary general of the JISGE said that 75 years ago
it was snowing on Mt Paektu and today the snowstorm of Juche and
anti-imperialism continues . Comrade KIM JONG IL is associated with the
politics of love and trust also benevolence.
Alexander
Meads KFA UK Commissar said that the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL
was born in humble circumstance that his family were very poor . When he
was firstborn he was wrapped in parts of old uniforms of women
guerrillas.
Dr
Dermot Hudson spoke about the 69th anniversary of the foundation of the
regular revolutionary armed force the Korean People's Army saying that " It
is some 69 years since the Korean People's Revolutionary Army which had
fought the marauding and aggressive Japanese imperialists , was
transformed into a standing regular armed force by the great leader
President Kim Il Sung
The KPA is the unique Juche based and Songun based revolutionary armed
force of the Korean people. It is an army of the people, an army of the
revolution and an army of the working class and Workers' Party of
Korea.
The
great leader President Kim Il Sung, an ever-victorious iron-willed
brilliant commander and gifted military strategist , put forward the
line of building the army after the liberation of Korea and developed
the Korean People's Revolutionary Army into the Korean People's Army,
modern regular armed forces, performing the undying feats in the history
of the building of the revolutionary armed forces.
The KPA, the regular revolutionary armed force founded by the great
leader President Kim Il Sung followed a glorious road. In the 1950s the
KPA beat back the U.S. imperialists' invasion to swallow up the DPRK in
its cradle and demonstrated the dignity and honour of the DPRK and
Korean people during the Fatherland Liberation War. Later the regular
revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK inflicted defeats on the US
imperialists during the "Pueblo Incident ", the EC121 Incident, the
Panmunjom incident of 1976 and the 1994 helicopter incident"
A
