The fraternal Korean people who have close relationship of cooperation and assistance with many provinces and cities of Ecuador in the spirit of proletarian internationalism are enjoying free education, health treatment, housing and social security in a socialist society where everybody enjoys complete equality, justice and independence and a high level of social development has been achieved.
This country, with an area of 122,762 km2 smaller than Ecuador has 11,000 educational institutions including 300 establishments of higher learning, has been self-sufficient in most of the agricultural produce grown in the cultivated land only 15% out of the total territorial land and export nearly 450 kinds of produce including rice, corn, barley and insam to many countries of Europe, Asia and Africa.
Korea is a socialist state turned into a fortress of progress by making the economy scientific, rational and modern in a unique way in the industrial, agricultural and livestock production.
To look back upon its past days, more than 80 % of the population was destitute and 65% was denied of any opportunity of learning. The juvenile mortality was in a critical state. Korea as a colony of Japan was deprived of its sovereignty.
Japanese imperialists ruled this nation with a tyranny of injustice. The ignominious semi-feudal ruling system created an objective condition that gave rise to the idea of liberation and made the spirit of outstanding leaders incarnated in the sacred cause.
President Kim Il Sung, Hero and Leader of Revolution
There have been many luminaries in the world history, but never been such a great leader as President Kim Il Sung known worldwide. He devoted his lifetime to the hard struggle for freeing the country from the yoke of Japan and the protracted struggle against the US imperialists who divided Korea into two. Already in his thirteen years of age he went to the area of Mt. Paektu to achieve the cause of liberation, firmly determined never to return home before freeing the country, and organized an armed struggle.
Great leader President Kim Il Sung formed the “Down-with-Imperialism Union” on October 17, 1926 in order to make a unitary vanguard organization in the struggle for the independence and revolution and elaborated a political and military programme for defeating Japanese imperialists and achieving liberation and independence of Korea and the construction of socialism.
He expounded about this to this effect:
This programme defined the immediate tasks and final aim of the Korean revolution and constituted a guideline indicating the way for the independent development of our revolution.
The apparatus of domination of the Japanese imperialists was completely destroyed on August 15, 1945 by the 15 years-long political and military strike given by the Korean People's Revolutionary Army to the Japanese troops.
Respected Comrade Kim Il Sung, shouldering the destiny of the nation upon himself in his 33 years of age, established a democratic, anti-imperialist, anti-feudal people's government conforming to the actual conditions of the country a radical change of the Korean revolution and was elected to the chairman of the Provisional People's Committee of North Korea. In 1947 he took an important legal post of chairmanship under the unanimous support through a free and democratic election, proclaimed on September 8, 1948 the Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea newly worked out and founded the DPRK on September 9, 1948.
Having won the people's power, the Korean people and President Kim Il Sung built the Workers' Party of Korea to prepare a guideline for safeguarding the independence of the country and the national sovereignty in the fierce struggle against the most ferocious and mighty imperialists. What were accomplished in the beginning of the revolution was interrupted by the invasion perpetrated by the US and the war waged for three years.
Pyongyang was reduced to ashes by the bombing in which 18 bombs per km2 of the north Korean territory were dropped. It was so indiscriminate to kill many civilians and destroy all the cities and towns, villages, factories and public institutions.
Many Koreans were killed, but the Americans registered a loss three times greater than that of the World War Two.
The DPRK won the Fatherland Liberation war on July 27, 1953 so as to glorify the Korean people's right to self-determination most brilliantly.
Though US imperialists began the war on June 25, 1950 to check the process of the revolution led by great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, he secured a historical military victory with his unusual courage. During the wartime too he never neglected even a moment the reconstruction of the country into a socialist system.
The outstanding exploits in his revolutionary activities is the creation of the Juche idea, a unique leadership theory.
The Juche idea is an idea for achieving a complete independence through three revolutions, ideological, technological and cultural.
This essential contribution of the Korean revolution to the dialectical materialism is the fact that Korea was made a beacon light of hope of the progressive people of the world by developing the Korean-style socialism in the land of Korea.
Peace and Reunification, Challenge of 21st Century
Now that the US imperialists are slandering and invading north Korea aiming it as a military target we must not forget that those threatening the sovereignty of the people and violating their freedom are the US imperialists.
They have no moral right to claim disarmament to north Korea as long as they keep more than 1,000 nuclear weapons and military bases with 40,000 troops in south Korea.
The DPRK proved that it pursues peace with the most reasonable proposal on reunifying two Koreas to establish a single national state with two systems and two governments in 1991.
The DPRK and its revolution will continue to make themselves a model of the dignity and justice since they impress the wise idea of leader Kim Jong Il in their minds and are advancing along, relying on their creative strength.
He frequently said to this effect:
A revolutionary must make as a creed of his life and struggle the truth that he always wins when he believes the people and relies on them. The masses of people are the strongest and wisest force which transforms the world and moves the history forward.
The construction of Korean-style socialism is a creative application of Marxism and a good testifier that it brings about justice and liberty and propels change and transformation.
When the people make it their flesh and heart, it will become a means of building a fraternal world perfecting the human being.
On this memorable day I pray that the freedom and peace won by the Korean people last ever with the solidarity of the world peoples despite of the imperialists’ attempts to reinvasion.
At the same time, I express again my deep respect to President Kim Il Sung, hero and father of the Korean revolution, Comrade Kim Jong Il, excellent successor of his revolutionary cause and Marshal Kim Jong Un, great and wise leader of the Korean people and revolution in the 21st century.
I am confident that as a dignified guard at the outpost of the socialist revolution the Korean people will by no means tolerate any attempt to bring disgrace upon their independent motherland and continue their advance for peace, prosperity and progress upholding the Songun politics.
Long live President Kim Il Sung!
Long live the Korean revolution!
The future is completely in store for socialism! ***
