チュチェ朝鮮―自主と正義、平和守護の75年
Juche Korea: 75 years of independence, justice, and protection of peace
Fujino Masakazu, Chairman, the Association of Academic and Educational Exchange between Japan and Korea

日帝支配下においてパルチザン闘争をたたかった金日成主席は1945年8月15日, 日本帝国主義からの祖国解放を勝ち取りました。そして1948年9月9日、朝鮮民主主義人民共和国は誕生します。今年は共和国創建75周年、あらためて創建75周年をお祝い申し上げます。

しかし自立した朝鮮独立への道筋が見えたそのとき、アメリカ帝国主義は朝鮮南北分断・南の傀儡政権樹立を画策し、1950年から朝鮮戦争をたたかうことになります。このたたかいにも朝鮮は不屈の精神で勝利し、1953年7月27日に休戦を迎えました。今年は朝鮮戦争・祖国解放戦争勝利から70年を迎える節目の年でもありました。

革命的思想性と精神力をもって金日成主席は朝鮮社会主義の現実的基盤を固めていきました。アメリカ帝国主義の戦争脅迫を前に一歩も後退することなく 、チュチェ思想のもとに共和国人民が一体となり社会主義建設を進めてきました。その遺訓を受け継いだ金正日総書記は社会主義経済圏が崩壊し自然災害も加わった1990年代の「苦難の行軍」を先軍政治によって乗り切り、金正恩総書記は自力更生路線によって、人民生活第一を掲げ朝鮮社会主義を発展させています。そしていまなお朝鮮と世界の人民は偉業を成し遂げた金日成主席を敬慕し、2023年4月には生誕111周年の太陽節をお祝いしたところです。

分断した南北朝鮮の自主的平和統一を呼びかけ、東アジアの安定をめざしているなかで、アメリカ帝国主義はいまなお軍事体制を強化し、共和国に対する核攻撃の威嚇を継続しています。日本政府もまたアメリカ帝国主義に追随し、朝鮮の飛翔体が飛ぶごとに朝鮮の脅威を煽り、日本人に朝鮮への憎悪を植え付けています。さらに在日公民に対する差別政策は依然として続いています。朝鮮は人民の平和を守るために核技術開発を進め、アメリカと対等に渡り合う関係を築きあげてきました。チュチェ朝鮮は常に社会主義としての自主独立のたたかいの先頭を走っています。2021年第8回党大会で示された国家経済発展五ヵ年計画によって確実に人民経済は発展しており、掲げられた12の重要課題に取り組んでいます。すべては人民生活の向上のためであり、それが「正面突破戦」という人民一体となった社会主義建設を可能としています。

しかし利潤の増大を目的とした資本主義と比して、朝鮮社会主義がチュチェ思想を掲げ、労働の本質である共同性・協働性を発揮し、人民のための社会発展を成し遂げ、「無から有を生み出す」のは必然でもあります。

社会主義原則を貫き、自主的経済建設に取り組む朝鮮人民に、心から敬意を表するとともに、その礎を築いた金日成主席の業績をあらためて讃えたいと思います。私たちも友好連帯の決意を固めて、日本での日朝友好連帯運動に取り組んでいきたいと思います。

Juche Korea: 75 years of independence, justice, and protection of peace
​
On August 15, 1945, President Kim Il Sung, who waged a partisan struggle under Japanese imperial rule, won the liberation of his homeland from Japanese imperialism. On September 9, 1948, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was born. This year, I would like to congratulate you once again on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Republic.

However, just when the path to independent Korea appeared, American imperialism plotted to divide Korea into north and south and establish a puppet government in the south, starting the Korean War in 1950. Korea won this battle with indomitable spirit, and on July 27, 1953, the armistice was reached. This year also marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Korean War and the Fatherland Liberation War.

With his revolutionary ideology and mental strength, President Kim Il-sung laid the practical foundation for Korean socialism. In the face of the threat of war from US imperialism, the people of the republic have united as one to advance the construction of socialism based on the Juche idea, without retreating one step. Inheriting his legacy, General Secretary Kim Jong-il overcame the ``march of hardship'' in the 1990s, when the socialist economic bloc collapsed and natural disasters were added, through military-first politics, and General Secretary Kim Jong-un put the people's lives first by following the path of self-reliance. is developing Korean socialism. Even now, the people of Korea and the world still respect and respect President Kim Il Sung for his great achievements, and in April 2023 we celebrated the Festival of the Sun, the 111th anniversary of his birth.

While calling for the independent peaceful reunification of the divided North and South Korea and aiming for stability in East Asia, US imperialism is still strengthening its military system and continuing to threaten nuclear attacks against the Republic. The Japanese government is also following in the footsteps of American imperialism, evoking the threat of Korea every time a Korean projectile flies by, and instilling hatred towards Korea in the Japanese population. Furthermore, the discriminatory policy against citizens living in Japan still continues. In order to protect the peace of the people, North Korea has advanced the development of nuclear technology and built a relationship with the United States on equal terms. Juche Korea is always at the forefront of the socialist struggle for independence. The people's economy is steadily developing under the five-year national economic development plan announced at the 8th Party Congress in 2021, and we are working on the 12 important issues set forth. All of this is for the purpose of improving the lives of the people, and this makes it possible to build socialism by uniting the people in a ``frontal breakthrough''.

However, compared to capitalism, which aims to increase profits, Korean socialism upholds the Juche idea, demonstrates the essence of labor, communality and cooperation, and achieves social development for the people. It is also inevitable to create existence from.

I would like to express my sincere respect to the Korean people who adhere to socialist principles and work toward independent economic construction, and I would like to once again praise the achievements of President Kim Il Sung, who laid the foundation for this. We also want to solidify our determination for friendship and solidarity and work on the Japan-North Korea friendship and solidarity movement in Japan.
