Dear friends of the Korean people!

Welcome to this important international online seminar, which is being held to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the successive great victories achieved under the banner of the Juche idea during its 74 years of existence, headed by the great leaders President Kim Il Sung, General Secretary Kim Jong Il and Chairman Kim Jong Un.

My congratulations to the organizers of this seminar, particularly Dr Dermot Hudson on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the International Festival in Praise of the Great Persons of Mt. Paektu (OCIFPGPP).

The founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on the 9th of September 1948, was an extraordinary event in the country’s history, when the masses of the Korean people, headed by the great leader Kim Il Sung, for the first time in the country's 5,000-year history founded their own state to secure Korea’s independent existence and ensure their security and prosperity. That splendid victory was the result of decades of arduous struggle against Japanese colonialism and U.S. imperialism for national unity and sovereignty.

Through the implementation of democratic reforms such as the agrarian reform, the nationalization of key industries and gender equality, and through the establishment of the People’s Government, the DPRK developed a unique model of society, Korean-style progressive democracy with the working masses as the masters.

Having occupied south Korea, the US imperialists were desperate to nip the bud of Korean independence, crush the young democratic people’s republic, and establish their hegemony over the entire Korean peninsula. Through the Korean war, they tried to just that, mobilizing huge forces and several allies, but the Korean people fought heroically, resisted the imperialist invaders, and defended their Republic.

The reconstruction of the country was completed in less than three years after the war, and in 14 years the century-long task of creating socialist industrialization was successfully accomplished in the spirit of the legendary horse Chollima, that can run 400 kilometers in a day. The concept of “Chollima Korea” became internationally widely spread.

Since its founding, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has achieved remarkable achievements in socialist construction by thoroughly applying the Juche idea and managing everything according to its specific conditions and the interests of the people. Universal free healthcare and free education were implemented, and a heyday of socialism began in all areas of society.

The collapse of socialism in several other countries at the end of the last century weakened the faith in socialism among many people in the world. The international imperialists tried to exploit the collapse of socialism to subdue the DPRK, but the leader Kim Jong Il, Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, published important works defending socialism and its inevitability.

Through the powerful Songun politics, the Korean people carried out the arduous march, thus crushing the offensive launched by the imperialist allied forces to suffocate socialist Korea, defended

the socialist system, and ushered in a new era to build a powerful socialist country.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea proved itself to be an invincible socialist fortress that no one can destroy.

The secret behind the victories of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is the wholehearted unity in which the nation’s leaders and the people share the nation’s purpose and destiny. This unanimous unity, unique in the world, is the most powerful and indestructible political weapon.

The cause of the people, the socialist cause of Juche, whose solid cornerstone was provided by the President and which was further developed by Chairman Kim Jong Il, is now greeting the heyday of its development in the great era of Kim Jong Un.

Today the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a strong independent socialist state, whose people, under the powerful leadership of Chairman Kim Jong Un, defy all difficulties and obstacles in the socialist construction with tremendous strength, firm unity and militant will to fight, to secure people’s lives and security, stabilize their existence and guard peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.

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. Several years earl

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
