"It is an honour to be here in anti-imperialist Belarus to mark the highly significant anniversaries of Juche Korea namely the Day of the Sun, the 6th anniversary of the election of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN as the supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the 86th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean People's Army by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG. Also this conference will be a profound manifestation of anti-imperialist solidarity with Juche Korea which is facing the most unprecedented and harsh sanctions imposed by the US imperialists and their lackeys in the UN Security Council. The amount of sanctions imposed against Juche Korea is countless. The DPRK is also facing military threats, psychological warfare and regime change propaganda by US and world imperialism.
   The anniversary of the birth of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG is celebrated not only in Korea but in many lands across the globe which reflects the fact that he was not only as the great leader of the Korean people but the great leader of the world revolutionary people. Last year myself and comrades from Britain were able to participate in the wonderful celebrations of the 105th anniversary of the birth of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG which were held in April and then in August a delegation from UK KFA travelled to the land of Juche , the land of Mt Paektu to participate in the 5th International Festival in praise of the Great Persons of Mt Paektu . We were honoured to see Mt Paektu, the sacred mountain of the Korean revolution.".
  The DPRK charge'd affaires for Belarus addressed the meeting and made an excellent speech. Also the head of the Belarus KIM IL SUNG -KIM JONG IL DPRK Friendship Association made a very good speech.
