The Workers’ Party Of Korea Defends And Protects The Korean Nation’s Independence

75 years ago, on October 10, Juche 34 (1945), the great Leader Comrade KIM IL SUNG founded the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

With the foundation of the WPK President KIM IL SUNG gave the Korean people the powerful general staff for building the new democratic Korea.

Three years later, on September 9, Juche 37 (1948), President KIM IL SUNG founded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as the first free, independent and democratic state of the Korean nation.

Under the leadership of the WPK socialism was built in the DPRK.

President KIM IL SUNG built the people-centered Juche-based socialist paradise in which health care, education and housing are totally free and later also the taxes were abolished.

Of course, these great and unique feats and achievements had to be defended and protected against the aggressive moves and attempts of the imperialists and reactionaries who wanted to stifle the young DPRK in its cradle.

The WPK became the strong defender and protector of the Korean nation's independence.

The great Generalissimo KIM IL SUNG led the Fatherland Liberation War to victory and forced the US imperialist aggressors and their 15 satellite armies to knee.

Under the leadership of the great WPK, Korea was the first nation on earth which won a victory over the "strongest super-power", the United States!

This historic victory was achieved thanks to the great Generalissimo KIM IL SUNG who made of the WPK the mother-party. The entire people is single-mindedly united around the leader and the party.

No force on earth, how "powerful" it might be, can destroy the unique steel-like unity of the Korean people around its great leaders and the partry.

After the tragic demise of President KIM IL SUNG on July 8, Juche 83 (1994), the great Leader Comrade KIM JONG IL took the helm of the party, the state and the armed forces and transformed the DPRK into the invincible bulwark and citadel of world socialism.

Guided by the WPK, socialist Korea withstood victoriously the collapse of socialism in central and eastern Europe as well in the Soviet Union. The imperialists and reactionaries failed totally in their aggressive move to stifle socialist Korea!

Under the leadership of Generalissimo KIM JONG IL the DPRK became a space power and a nuclear weapon state!

Today it is the respected Supreme Leader Comrade KIM JONG UN who is on the helm of the party, the state and the armed forces.

In all these glorious decades since its foundation the WPK, guided by President KIM IL SUNG, General Secretary KIM JONG IL and Chairman KIM JONG UN, defended and protected the Korean nation's indepence.

It also achieved spectacular exploits on the way of the struggle for Korea's independent and peaceful reunification.

For all these great historic feats, the WPK enjoys also the respect, admiration and support of the whole progressive mankind.

The WPK is the creator of the people's happiness. It made of socialist Korea the people's paradise, guided by its great leaders' maxime The People are my God!

The Korean people will celebrate proudly the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the WPK!

And the world progressives congratulate it wholeheartedly.

Glory to the great Workers' Party of Korea!
Glory to its great Leaders - President KIM IL SUNG, General Secretary KIM JONG IL and respected Chairman KIM JONG UN!
