SPEECH TO KFA INTERNATIONAL MEETING BELGIUM 15TH NOVEMBER 2014



Dear comrades and friends , honoured representatives of the DPRK Embassy , it is a great pleasure to address this KFA International Meeting .
On the 24th of December this year the Korean people together with the world progressive and KFA will celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the appointment of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il asthe Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army.
23 years ago the 19th plenary meeting of the 6th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea decided to appoint great generalissimo Kim Jong Il as the supreme commander of the Korean People's Army. President Kim Il Sung deemed it necessary to transfer the command of the KPA to comrade Kim Jong Il in order to carry the Songun revolution forward ,guaranteeing succession in the revolutionary cause and victory in the showdown with US imperialism the sworn enemy of the Korean people and world people,When the great generalissimo Kim Jong Il was appointed as supreme commander of the KPA the international political situation was very strained and complicated. The anti-socialist campaign started by the imperialists and modern revisionists , after the frustration of socialismin the USSR , caused a very difficult situation . The US imperialists spearheaded an anti-DPRK campaign against it was a bulwark of socialism.
The Korean People's Army, founded by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung ,is the reliable defender of socialist Korea. It was the Korean People's Army under the command of the great leader generalissimo Kim Il Sung that defeated the US imperialists for the first time in history
starting US imperialism on the road of decline and opening up a new era of anti-US, anti-imperialiststruggle. Today the DPRK is on the front line of the struggle against imperialism , the KPA is the defender of world socialism and the anti-imperialist forces of the world so assuming the post of supreme commander of the KPA meant that the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il assume the responsibility for the defence of world socialism and world peace.

The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il ensured that the priceless achievements made by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung made in the field of army-building were continued and actively carried forward. As supreme commander the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il built up the KPA as the army of the leader with a steel-like unity based on the Juche Idea and the Songun idea .This was complemented by the blossoming of the great army-people unity under Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il. This is unknown elsewhere in the world.
The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il is the brilliant commander of Songun, the general of Mt Paektu. Beginning his Songun revolutionary leadership on the 25th of August 1960 at the Ryu Kyong Su Guards no 105 division of the KPA . The great leader generalissimo Kim Jong Il
held high the red torch of the Songun revolutionary cause started by the great leader
generalissimo Kim Il Sung. The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung had always placed emphasis on the idea that the revolution is advanced by the force of arms declaringthat “ Weapons are our life and soul: Oppose armed force with armed force!” . This was the very basis of the Songun idea . President Kim Il Sung led the anti-Japanese armed struggleover 20 years and won victory over Japanese imperialism in 1945.

In the years following his appointment as KPA supreme commander in 1991 the great Leader comrade Kim Jong Il administered Songun politics fully by building up the KPA as the core force of the Korean revolution . He ensured that the KPA was not only strong in arms but strong in ideology and politics. Opposing the modern revisionists attempts to 'de politicise ' and ' de ideologise' the army he ensured that the army held fast to the line of being the revolutionary armed force of the Workers' Party of Korea. Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il fully promoted the revolutionary soldier spirit, the epitome of the militant Songun ideology, which pulsated throughout society leading to world-startling feats like the construction of the Anbyon power station.

The DPRK faced acute threats from US imperialism and all kinds of international reactionary forces Supreme Commander comrade Kim Jong Il has by his brilliant commanding art defeated all these attempts to stifle Korean style socialism by force,honourably defending Juche Korea, the bastion of socialism .
The KPA and Korean people under the leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il faced down the US imperialists when they clamoured over the nuclear issue. The DPRK threw a nuclear thunderbolt of Songun at the imperialists by successfully testing a nuclear device. The KPA smashed the provocations of the south Korean puppets and US imperialists at Yongphyong island thereby defending world peace and socialism. Thus the 20 years of leader's Kim Jong Il's command of the Korean People's Army were years of great achievements in which the KPA has been strengthened greatly . Because of the decisive role of the anti-imperialist military front there have been victories in other fields such as the economy and culture UK KFA rejoices over these achievement.
The Songun revolutionary cause of army leadership is now been continued by dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un supreme commander of the KPA. When the great leader generalissimo Kim Jong Il passed away the party and the people urged dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un to take the role of supreme commander of the KPA. The Political Bureau of the Workers' Party of Korea decided on the 30th December 2011 that dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un should be KPA Supreme Commander. In the spring of 2013the situation in Korea was rendered extremely tense due to the US imperialist sanctions and war exercises, dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un ensured that a militant revolutionary anti-imperialist , anti-US line was taken . He inspected frontline units.
The line of building up the economy and nuclear force in parallel was put forward at the March plenary meeting of the WPK Central Committee. We believe that KPA and Korean people will be totally victorious under the command of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, another great general of Mt Paektu.
UK KFA upholds the leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un and we try our best to defend People's Korea and its achievements . This has caused us to come under attack from the imperialist media and the reactionary establishment . Several media articles have attacked
UK KFA . In November 2013 our picket of the south Korean puppet embassy was harassed by the reactionary “NK News “ and fake defector “Joo Il Kim. “ In March I myself was attacked by the “Sunday Times “ , an outlet of the Murdoch press with close ties to the British secret service. As a result I was charged with so-called “serious misconduct” at work,ordered to stand down as KFA Official Delegate and threatened with dismissal . I was even questioned for 3 hours at work by an HR investigator about my KFA role. As a result I have now left the job with some loss of income . This incident and others like it shows that so-called democracy in the capitalist countries is a total fraud .Despite this fascist McCarthyite persecution by the enemy and setbacks that it has caused UK KFA has maintained a level of activity which has included a picket of the US embassy in March , a annual general meeting and issuing numerous statements as well as regularcontact with members and the use of social media.

We hope that this meeting will be a big success and will make a big contribution to the
work of defending the DPR Korea and promoting its great achievements.
