Immortal Viability and Inexhaustible Vitality

Ayub Qureshi, Member Public Information Bureau APRCPRK

It is great honour for me to participate in this international E-Celbaration meeting.

Today Korean people are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the DPRK as a grand festival of victor look back upon the revolutionary history in which they had won back independence of their country,have built Korean style socialism and are shaping the future on the basis of Juche idea and this immortal idea ensures the DPRK's future.

This year of Juche112(2023) is the year when the Korean people celebrate the 75th founding anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

The 75-year-long history of the DPRK can be unthinkable without the ideologies of independence of the great leaders President Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il, Chairman of the National Defence Commission, DPRK and respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, President of State Affairs, DPRK and inexhaustable struggle of self-reliance of the Korean people who have been firmly embodied with their ideologies.

The Juche idea, authored by Comrade Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), eternal President of the DPRK, and enriched by Comrade Kim Jong Il (1942-2011), eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, means in short that man is the master of his destiny and he has the strength with which to carve out his destiny.

Guided by this idea, the people of the DPRK have advanced and developed their Republic.

Under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung they carried out successfully the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution through agrarian reform, nationalization of major industries, enforcement of Law on Sex Equality and so on. They also founded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the first democratic state for the people in the East. When the United States, having boasted of its being the "strongest" in the world, started a war (1950-1953) against the DPRK in an attempt to nip it in the bud, the Korean people inflicted an ignorminious defeat on the US for the first time in its history, thus defending their national sovereignty and dignity. They completed the postwar rehabilitation and socialist revolution within a short period and conducted several stages of socialist construction to develop their country into a socialist power independent, self-supporting and self-reliant in national defence.

A people-centered spcialist system was established by President Kim IL Sung and further strengthened under the leadership of Chairman Kim Jong Il.

Perfect and throughgoing free medical care system and compulsory free education of the highest standard are being effected in the DPRK. Dwelling houses are built at state expense and provided to its citizens free of charge, and they are also entitled to such social benefits as paid leave and accommodation at health resorts and holiday homes at state expense. The DPRK has become the first country in the world that abolished its taxation system once and for all.

Socialist Korea has given the fullest play to its immortal viability and inexhaustible vitality.

In the closing years of the last century several countries that were building socialism were thrown into great social and political turmoil and thus abandoned one after another the cause of socialism. The collapse of socialist countries in succession and the sudden death of President Kim Il Sung, catastrophyc natural disters that hit the country for consecutive years, and the intensifying offensives the imperialist allied forces aimed at the DPRK to stifle it-they were the worst ever trials socialist Korea had suffered so far. Despite the grimmest trials, the DPRK emerged victorious in tis battle to defend socialism, and ushered in a new era of building a thriving socialist country.

Now it has attained the high levels of development and upbuiding of the national power, as it is being led by Comrade Kim Jon Un.

The DPRK has already occupied the position of a politico-ideological and military power, and is paving the way for building a powerful state in the fields of economy, science and technology. What makes the DPRK come into the limeight of the world is that it, though in the past it had lost its name on the world political map owing to its weak national power, has developed into a power with space technology and nuclear capabilities that are in exclusive possession of only a few countries. It is demonstrating its willpower to root out the evil source in acute confrontation with the imperialist superpower, which infringes upon the sovereignty of other countries and commits acts of aggression and intervention. It has become the object of admiration of the international community.

I highly praise great leader Comrade KIM JONG IL who turned the DPRK into a nuclear state and manufacturer and launcher of satellite,kindled the flames of the industrial revolution and cultivated great spiritual strength among the Korean nation.

It was the greatest exploits of Comrade KIM JONG IL that he had developed Korea,once a small and weak nation which was deprived of it's sovereignty by outside forces century ago as it lacked military strength to defend itself,into a nuclear state and the maker and launcher of satellite with it's own nuclear technology and space and science technology.

The dignity, sovereignty and lasting prosperity of the Korean nation are sure to be guaranteed as Songun Korea is growing more robust and stronger led by Marshal KIM JONG UN, General Secretary of WPK.

Long live immortal Juche idea!
Long live DPRK!
