September 9th will mark the 74th anniversary of the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the first truly sovereign state in Korean history. The DPRK is the great achievement of the Korean revolutionaries and people, who through bloody struggle made the solution of the question of state power by the popular masses possible. Kim IL Sung is rightfully considered to be the architect of the DPRK as the realisation of the Korean people's aspirations for independence. The concept of the DPRK arose from the strategy of uniting the maximum number of people who opposed imperialism and feudalism. Examples of these precursors were found in the form of the People's Revolutionary Government which had been setup in the liberated zones of Manchuria and the Northern Areas of Korea during the Anti-Japanese armed struggle (1925-1945) and in the shape of the Association For The Restoration of The Fatherland in May 1936. This revolutionary tradition of building a broad front movement was continued after Korea's liberation in August 1945. The question was posed by some quarters that the New Korea should become either the Proletarian Soviet-style Republic or the Bourgeois Democratic type Republic? Kim IL Sung stated that Liberated Korea should be a Democratic People's Republic, which was more suited to the circumstances of the Korean Revolution.




Elections for the power organs of the DPRK took place throughout the Korean peninsula on August 25th 1948. As a result of the North-South General Election, the first session of the Supreme People's Assembly was convened in Pyongyang on September 2nd, 1948. The SPA session was attended by 572 Deputies who had been voted in from constituencies in both north and south of Korea. Kim IL Sung was elected the Premier of the Cabinet (The Head of State) and the Great Leader Kim IL Sung proclaimed to the world the establishment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on September 9th, 1948. Since its foundation, the DPRK has turned into a strong socialist state, in which everything serves the people. The Supreme People's Assembly is the highest organ of state power in the DPRK. There are People's 


Assemblies on the Province, County and City level. The SPA is composed of Deputies elected on the principle of universal suffrage. Deputies to the state organs can be recalled at any time if they lose the confidence of the electorate. In the SPA, Deputies from the Working Class and Peasantry comprise the majority of the parliamentarians and half of the SPA Deputies are women. In the DPRK there are three political parties such as the Workers' Party of Korea, the Social-Democratic Party and the Chondoist Chongu Party, and public organisations such as the Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Youth League and the General Federation of Trade Unions have a say in governmental affairs. Politics in the DPRK are not corrupted by the special interests of plutocratic elites but are an ultimate example of genuine democracy in action.




In a space of seventy  four years, the DPRK has gained centuries' worth of accomplishments, to become an advanced industrial-agricultural state. The political and social system of the DPRK guarantees the right to employment, the right to free social housing, the right to health care, the right to education (from primary to university level), no taxation of any kind, and the right to subsidised food and transport. In many ways, the greatest achievement by the DPRK is to have made the Korean people a totally self-determining nation, in other words, the right to be Korean.




Kim Jong Un was elected the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK on June 29th, 2016, reflecting the acknowledgement of the DPRK's Supreme Leader's statesmanship. Chairman Kim Jong Un ensured that the DPRK is advancing towards the objective of becoming a Thriving Socialist Nation, where the material and technological conditions are of the highest quality. On the international arena, the DPRK due to Kim Jong Un's leadership has emerged as being a dignified and respected World Power. The historical question of Korean reunification is now in the process of resolution, which has been accelerated by the deep concern of the DPRK Government. Let all progressive people around the globe celebrate and commemorate all the successes completed by Democratic Korea, which has overcome all manner of difficulties and obstacles. The Democratic People's Republic 


of Korea can be seen as the crowning glory of International Socialism. Along the Red Road of Juche and Songun, there will be even more radiant victories for the courageous people of the DPRK!!!

The DPRK is invincible and will continue it´s socialist way The DPRK is the oldest still existing socialist state on earth. The DPRK was formed as the result of the victory against the Japanese imperialists. The years of slavery were over, at least in the northern part of Korea. In the south the American imperialists invaded and occupied the southern half of Korea, replacing the old direct Japanese imperialist rule with the modern neo-colonial USimperialist rule.  But that wasn't enough for the US-imperialists, they wanted to control all of Korea, enslave all Koreans and take away their natural resources, so they also invaded the northern part of Korea. This US-imperialist aggression war against the Korean people was one of the most brutal wars in all of human history. They killed more than 2, 47 million Koreans, murdered, raped, plundered the korean people. They dropped 600 thousand bombs and even napalm bombs on the DPRK, 3,7 times more than on Japan during the pacific war. But r

For Koreans, September 74 years ago was undoubtedly one of the most joyful and epochal months in their 5000 years-long history. On the 2nd of September 1948, on the basis of the results of the north-south general election, the First Session of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was held in Pyongyang. It adopted the first Constitution of the DPRK. It was the outcome of the nationwide discussion over the draft constitution under the guidance of the great leader and hero of Korean nation, President Kim Il Sung. The discussion participated in by the Korean people who finally could become real masters of their country. What is more, according to the will of the people of Korea, the session elected Kim Il Sung Premier of the Cabinet of the DPRK. And on the 9th of that month, he declared to the whole world the founding of the DPRK. For the Korean people, the significance of the event of 9th of September was colossal, to say the least.

There were many socialist countries in the world, but most of them disappeared in the late 1980s due to the leading parties' degeneration to revisionism and betrayal of the ideals of socialism. Even the once powerful Soviet Union (including Soviet Russia 1917-1922), the first socialist state, crumbled after 74 years of existence due to its destruction by the "Perestroika" renegades. Turmoil and rebellion, organised by the anti-socialist hostile forces, supported by the imperialists and reactionaries, led to the collapse of socialism in Europe in the years 1989-1991. But there is a socialist state in the Far East which not only survived all obstacles and challenges of history, but achieved one victory after the other on the way of socialist construction. This country is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the land of Juche, founded by the great Leader Comrade KIM IL SUNG on September 9, Juche 37 (1948). The DPRK will celebrate its 74th founding anniversar
