Mr. Henry Chonya, Secretary General, Tanzania-DPR of Korea Friendship Association
It is my honor and pleasure to speak and extend my congratulations to this E-Seminar on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) under the theme of "The 75 years of the DPRK recorded with victories and miracles".
On behalf of the Tanzania-DPRK Friendship Association, let me extend my sincere congratulations and greetings to all participants from all over the world taking part in this historical event as we celebrate the 75th founding anniversary of the DPRK.
On this auspicious occasion I also would like to pay the highest respect to H.E. President Kim Il Sung and H.E. Chairman Kim Jong Il who founded and developed the DPRK on the basis of the Juche idea and extend my warm congratulations to H.E. Kim Jong Un who put the country's strategic status at world level.
The miraculous victories recorded in the DPRK under the wise guidance of the great leaders of Mt. Paektu have made the country as a powerful and thriving socialist nation and a bulwark of independence and justice by consistently applying the principles of independence, self-sufficiency and self-reliant defense during the 75 years.
Amid the challenges by the hostile forces on the DPRK, the country is gaining successful event after another in its efforts to strengthen its defense capacity and build its economy under the outstanding leadership of H.E. Kim Jong Un, the President of the State Affairs of the DPRK, who is carrying forward the cause of his predecessors.
Kim Jong Un is a matchless master of ideology and theory, an attractive politician possessed of a high level of people-oriented art of leadership and has come under the political limelight of the world as the most distinguished political leader of the modern era.
The history and reality of the DPRK testify to the fact that if the leader of a country is great, the country, though small, can become powerful. Reaffirming the common understanding that the 75th founding anniversary of the DPRK has a great bearing on the world progressive peoples, I would like to take this opportunity to praise the undying achievements and greatness of the outstanding leaders of the Korean people and extend our full support and solidarity to the just cause of the people of the DPRK.
