75th Founding Anniversary of the Workers Party of Korea

THE Korean Friendship Association (KFA), represented worldwide by its International Organization Committee, warmly congratulates the glorious 75th Founding Anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea!!

Having emerged in the vanguard of the Korean revolution in the worst days of Japanese occupation, President Kim Il Sung gave the directions for the Korean revolution. In order to conduct the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle by relying on the masses, he formed the Down-with-Imperialism Union (DIU), an underground revolutionary organization, on October 17, 1926. The formation of the DIU was the beginning of a new era in Korea.

In the Kalun meeting in 1930, President Kim Il Sung established the way of founding a party according to the situation of Korea. At that time most of the communists in the country were servants of other nations, and their parties were immersed in continuous factionalism, until the point that it was impossible to found a revolutionary party in the way of rebuilding any of the defunct ones.

On the basis of the successes and experiences gained during the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, our Great Leader Kim Il Sung formed the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party of North Korea on October 10, 1945.

The objective was to create a big organization that will fully integrate all people and making them an active part in the shape of the new nation, in that sense he set forth the organizational line of building it into a mass-based one, and in August 1946 the Communist Party became the Workers’ Party, a unified party of the working masses.

Thanks to the WPK’s leadership, the agricultural cooperativization movement was brought to completion in a short period of five years. It also organized and led the socialist transformation of private commerce and industry, thus realizing successfully their socialist transformation. As the socialist transformation of the outdated relations of production had been completed in the urban and rural areas, the socialist system was established in Korea in 1958.

Kim Il Sung was the founder of the WPK, the eternal leader of the WPK and the Korean people. He authored the immortal Juche idea, a political masterpiece that grows in importance internationally after the disappearance of other socialist countries and political theories.

He developed the WPK into a party that is united ideologically, with a high sense of organization and discipline, a party that enjoys absolute support and trust of the masses of the people, and into an invincible party that steadfastly carries forward the lineage of the Juche revolution.

The strategic creation of the WPK made possible the miracle of building in Korea a people- centred socialist state that is independent in politics, self-sufficient in the economy and self- reliant in national defence.

A party without a leader has no options to survive. Leadership is essential for the continuation of any project, but Korea had the fortune of having Generalissimo Kim Jong Il, who took the responsibility to continue shaping the new Republic.

He developed the Juche idea and the Songun politics into great guiding principles of the era of independence, and built the WPK into a body ideologically pure and organizationally integrated, a body which is fully equipped with a monolithic ideological system and a unified leadership system. He also built it into a motherly party that has formed a harmonious organizations that takes care of the people and their destiny with responsibility.

Contrary to many political parties that were created for the intention of private benefit of its members, the ultimate goal of the WPK is to completely realize the independence of the masses of the people by modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, and its supreme principle is to steadily improve the people’s standard of living.

The revolution leaded by the WPK continues in today's Korea. Implementing the Three Revolutions after the triumph of the socialist revolution and establishment of the socialist system in Korea, the WPK defined the three revolutions –ideological, technological and cultural– as the main contents of the revolution to be waged in socialist society, as the task of continuous revolution. In waging the three revolutions, it has adhered to the principle of giving definite precedence to the ideological revolution and pushing ahead with the technological and cultural revolutions dynamically.

Now, with the leadership of our Marshal Kim Jong Un, who forced the U.S. Empire to change their plans of invasion for the negotiating table, the Korean people are advancing to achieve the complete victory of socialism under the unfurled banner of the three revolutions.

As long as the Worker's Party of Korea has its father, Marshal Kim Jong Un, and its child, the Korean people, all enemies will be defeated and the future for Korea will always be bright.

The Great Leader Kim Il Sung and Beloved General Kim Jong Il will always be withs us!! Long Live Marshal Kim Jong Un!! Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea!!
