• International E-seminar in Celebration of the 80th Birth Anniversary of General Kim Jong Il

DEAR, Comrades and Fellow participants,

It is so pleased to participate in this significant Internet International Seminar for me with the supporters and friends of the Korean Revolution from Uganda and esteemed participants from all over the world on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of “the Day of the Shining Star” the birthday of H.E. Kim Jong Il.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay a respect to H.E. Kim Jong Il on the occasion of  “the Day of the Shining Star”, 80th anniversary of the birthday of H.E. Kim Jong Il.

As we participate in this Internet International Seminar, I highly appreciate the immortal ideological and theoretical exploits of H.E. Kim Jong Il who systematized and developed comprehensively the Juche idea authored by eternal President of the DPR of Korea, H.E. Kim Il Sung, as required by the developing era of independence and the revolutionary practice.

In this discussion, I would like to note about the immortal ideological and theoretical exploits and the energetic activities of H.E. Kim Jong Il who systematized and developed comprehensively the Juche idea.

In order to further develop the Juche idea, H.E. Kim Jong Il paid deep attention to the theoretical development of basic principles of its philosophy.

He paid the biggest attention to the explanation of man’s essential characteristics.

H.E. Kim Il Sung, creator of the Juche idea, said that independence is life and soul of man, that man is a being with an ideological consciousness of independence and that man is the most developed and powerful being in the world. The eternal President also said that man transforms nature and society and develops science and technology, and therefore, man becomes the master who puts the world under his control and the factor that decides everything.

Theoretically systematizing historic courses of the Korean revolution and the mankind and the President’s sayings, H.E. Kim Jong Il provided the formulation that man is a social being with independence, creativity and consciousness.

The theoretical formulation of man’s essential characteristics served as a fundamental basis that enabled to systematize the Juche idea theoretically as the man-centred world outlook.

He comprehensively systematized the socio-historical principles that put forward the masses of the people as the subject of social history on the basis of man’s essential characteristics and the philosophical principle that man is the master of everything and decides everything.

He also systematized it as the guiding principles of the Juche idea that the independent stand should be maintained, that creative methods should be applied and that main stress should be put on ideology.

On March 31, 1982, H.E. Kim Jong Il made public “On the Juche Idea”, a classic work that integrates the Juche idea perfectly.

In the work, he included such broad and profound contents of the Juche idea as the origin, the philosophical principle, the socio-historical principles and the guiding principles of the Juche idea and systematized them in an integral way.

H.E. Kim Jong Il ’s work “On the Juche Idea” causes a big sensation of not only among the Korean people but among the world people.

The work was carried on over 10 million copies of publications in more than 90 countries of the world and published in booklet in 144 countries in less than a year after its publication.

Prominent figures in different countries and progressive people highly praised the work as the “new Communist Manifesto in the 1980s” and a “basic text of philosophy for realizing the popular masses’ independence”.

In the works “On Some Problems of Education in the Juche Idea”, “Let Us March Forward Dynamically along the Road of Socialism and Communism under the Unfurled Banner of the Anti-Imperialist Struggle” and “On Establishing the Juche Outlook on the Revolution”, the Chairman further developed contents of the philosophical principle and the socio-historical principles of the Juche idea with the theory of socio-political organism, the theory of outlook on the revolution and the principles governing in making the outlook on the revolution the view of life.

He also further developed the idea of role of man’s ideological consciousness clarified for the first time by the Juche idea.

He explained and proved in a profound way the theory of ideology that ideology is the main in the revolution and construction and the popular masses’ ideological and mental strength decides everything, by combining its vitality and ideological and mental traits of the people who build a powerful country, thus further developing the Juche idea of giving importance on ideology.

Thanks to H.E. Kim Jong Il ’s energetic ideological and theoretical activities, the Juche idea, the revolutionary idea of H.E. Kim Il Sung, has been developed into an encyclopedia of the era that gives the most correct and principled explanations to all theoretical and practical problems arising in the era.

Indeed, H.E. Kim Jong Il made a brilliant contribution to the ideological history of Mankind.

The immortal ideological and theoretical exploits performed by H.E. Kim Jong Il will forever shine in the heart of the world progressive people.

I would like to conclude the discussion, noting that I am sure that the Korean people will achieve their final victory in building a powerful nation under the wise leadership of H.E. Kim Jong Un who has upheld and thoroughly carried forward the idea of H.E. Kim Il Sung and H.E. Kim Jong Il.

Long live Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism
Long live Comrade H.E Kim Jong Un
