『Dear conference participants, my report today is devoted to the history of state building of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

On September 9, 2024, the DPRK celebrated the 70th anniversary of the DPRK Foundation Day

On September 9, 1945, the first state of genuine people's democracy, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, appeared in the east of the globe.

Until 1945, Korea was a colony of imperialist Japan. Kim Il Sung, the hero of the Korean nation, led a super-large anti-Japanese military struggle to return the country taken away by the occupiers in time. In August 1945, the general attack of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army began, which, combined with the nationwide resistance, finally led to the liberation of Korea.

After the country's liberation, the construction of a new Korea began - a state of people's power, free from exploitation and oppression, where all people can live in harmony and be equally happy:

Land reform made the peasants happy.
The law on the national leading industry follows the working economy at theenterprise.
Thanks to the law on equality, women, locked in the walls of rooms, became worthy of the economy and society.
People previously offended by oppression were elected as representatives of the people, discussing and deciding political affairs of the state. Koreans became the masters of their own country for the first time in their millennia-long history. The birth of the DPRK marked the bright history of the struggle of the Korean people to create the destiny of a new independent state.

The 76 years of the DPRK were years of overcoming an incessant trial and pride. The path to independence that it chose was not easy at all, there were difficult trials on the way: the Korean War of 1950-1953, the ongoing sanctions and pressure, as well as the extreme economic difficulties in the late 1990s caused by the attempts of the imperialist ideology to strangle the last stronghold of socialism, etc.

This country has gone the way from beginning to end in the name of its people, having thwarted all sorts of challenges, built an independent economy capable of self-defense. The country, emerging from agrarian colonization, created, in some fourteen years, having completed the centuries-old task of socialist industrialization.

An independent national economy with all branches, powerful branches of industry was created. Artificial satellites of the Earth, machines, CNC machines and examples of modern light industry, etc. were confidently developed.

In our socialist country, which puts the interests of the masses first, everything is always at the service of the people. The state carries out all political activities in the interests of the people, including free medical care, free education and free housing.

Whereas before the liberation of the country there was not a single university, after the formation of the DPRK many scientific and theoretical workers appeared. Now you can’t find even one illiterate person with fire. Our country has more than a hundred higher educational institutions and a large army of intellectuals.

The DPRK is the first country in the world without taxes, fully ensuring the human rights of the working masses.

The whole country seems like one big friendly family, where everyone helps and supports each other. A country small in its territory and population, whose people in the past experienced the bitter fate of colonial slavery, in no more than 70 years has acquired a completely new appearance, which we see today. All this became possible thanks to the outstanding great leader President Kim Il Sung and Chairman of the National Defense Committee of the DPRK Kim Jong Il, who went down in history as Korean leaders of previous generations and great people of the era, enjoying universal, boundless respect and esteem.

Comrade Kim Jong Un is now showing himself to be the most outstanding political leader of the modern world. He is oriented towards the climate of peace on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia. The whole world does not hide its admiration for his outstanding politically intelligent abilities. There is no doubt about it.

It is certain that under his leadership Korea will take a new flight into a brighter future.

Thank you for your attention!』

『Dear Maria Alexandrovna,

Mrs. Lu,

Comrade Kim Sung U,



Dear Comrades, Friends!

First of all, my deepest gratitude to you all for inviting me to your esteemed meeting, to your diplomatic living room.

In the 1970s, I had just started working at the Soviet Peace Committee (it was the most important international socio-political organization in the Soviet Union) and found myself in the same office with Vladimir Zhirinovsky, whom I then simply called Volodya. Our desks were opposite each other, and I sat with him in the same room for a year. And I want to tell you, as a person who knew him well: I saw his telephone conversations, his hectic work, and I knew how he was already fighting hard for truth, justice, against the routine that reigned in many ways in our organizations.

I want to tell you about the huge role played by socio-political international organizations.

There is official diplomacy – the Foreign Ministry diplomacy. But in those years we worked under the leadership of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. As a boy, I used to report to the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee on our activities. And then my job was to coordinate actions with Vietnam, which had just emerged from a state of war (the war actually continued until 1975, when Vietnam was reunited).

In socio-political terms, we made a colossal contribution to the victory of the Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian peoples. The thing is that the USSR Foreign Ministry had certain limits that they could not go beyond. And socio-political organizations could allow themselves almost anything – of course, under the watchful leadership of the CPSU Central Committee, what can I say.

In particular, we supported national liberation movements that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not support.

For example, the Soviet Union officially had ties with the King of Laos, but supported the National Patriotic Front for the Liberation of Laos along our lines. The country pursued a "dual policy": that is, of course, there was one official policy, but what we could not officially carry out in those years was done by socio-political organizations, from which, in fact, there was nothing to ask. The same applied to Cambodia and our African departments, which were engaged in supporting the national fronts of South African countries.

Vladimir Volfovich began his most active political activity precisely with a socio-political international organization, which was the Soviet Peace Committee. And you know, I think that those who go after the University of World Civilizations into public political diplomacy, into people's diplomacy, will not lose either. Because there is simply an unplowed field of work here in the area of ​​public friendship, in the area of ​​various international organizations that are not part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government, and so on. That is, there is a huge scope for socio-political activity, for the implementation of one’s ideas, one’s thoughts, one’s plans.

I would like to emphasize once again that we will continue to support in every possible way the excellent relations that have developed with the People’s Republic of China. In the late Soviet years, we had big problems with China. Ms. Lu knows very well what kind of conflict there was between our countries. But public organizations stood firm on one path: we are the closest friends, we are the closest neighbors and closest comrades – we simply cannot be against each other!

We must definitely be friends, and we have firmly pursued our line of strengthening friendship and cooperation not only with China, but also with the DPRK.

I will never forget how they laughed at us in 1991, when we first formed the Society for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Everyone said, "We must be friends with rich South Korea"... But our war veterans, our pilots who fought in Korea, great pilots (of whom 13 were the founders of our society, Heroes of the Soviet Union and two were twice Heroes), great people, said: no, we will have friendship with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea!

And now, as we see, our political forecast has come true: Korean friends are now our comrades-in-arms in all matters, when the country is faced with such difficult problems as the events around Ukraine. And we thank our Korean friends, who are always with us, supporting us everywhere.

Well, our Chinese friends understand our position perfectly, as we do theirs: we thank them, too, for their firm support of our country.

Guys, go for it! Go ahead, you have a fantastic future ahead of you! Go into official diplomacy, into people's diplomacy! In general, build our country, make it great

Thank you.』

『Esteemed Counselor of the DPRK Embassy Comrade Kim Sung U,

Esteemed Minister-Counselor of the PRC Embassy Comrade Lu Xiaojun,

Dear teachers of the Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky University of World Civilizations, students and international solidarity activists,



I am glad to see so many interested persons at this event, held at the initiative of the primary cell of our organization at the University of World Civilizations. The presence of representatives of the Embassies of Korea and China - two of the most friendly countries to Russia - is a great honor and trust for us. This hall, full of enthusiasm of international students, clearly demonstrates the prospects of this direction.

Today, my speech is dedicated to the Foundation Day of the Workers' Party of Korea. I will begin my report by saying that during the years of Japanese occupation in Korea, in fact, there was no single Communist Party that met the necessary requirements in terms of numbers and organizational structure. There were only a few factional groups that fought among themselves for the right to receive Soviet aid - this state of affairs prevented any constructive revolutionary activity and, ultimately, led to the suspension of the membership of the Korean Communist Party in the Comintern.

Against this background, the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, wishing to liberate the Motherland from the oppression of the Japanese militarists at any cost, called on his comrades to join the Chinese Communist Party of their comrades and wage armed struggle on its side. In this way, he managed not only to realize his leadership potential and revive the Korean partisan movement, but also to strengthen the bonds of Korean-Chinese friendship. And when the time came for a counteroffensive, he fought side by side with Soviet soldiers against a common enemy within the framework of the United International Forces.

Incidentally, the monuments to the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army are still in excellent condition in the DPRK.

In short, during the days of the bloody anti-Japanese struggle, Commander Kim Il Sung laid a solid ideological and organizational foundation for the founding of the party, thanks to which, after the liberation of the country, on October 10, 1945, the organizational bureau was successfully formed. And in August 1946, as a result of unification with friendly political forces, it took on the outlines that are already familiar to us, taking the name "Workers' Party of Korea".

It is also interesting how the emblem of the WPK appeared: not just a hammer and sickle, but also a brush. This was done in order to symbolically unite all strata of the population, including the intelligentsia.

Comrade Kim Il Sung explained the instructions for creating such a symbol as follows:

- The emblem of our party must depict the working class, peasantry and intelligentsia; only then can we symbolically show that the Workers' Party of Korea is a united party of the working masses, which includes the leading figures of the working class, peasantry and intelligentsia.

That is, he proposed to depict a hammer and sickle in the image of the working class and peasantry, and to depict the intelligentsia not with a pen, but with a brush, that is, in Korean. According to his plan, workers and peasants in the future should have rich knowledge and culture and make a great contribution to state building.

Strengthening and developing the WPK, Comrade Kim Il Sung directed the harsh anti-American war, post-war reconstruction and construction of a new socialist society built according to the ideas of "Juche", which means "self-reliance" or "sovereignty", to victory.

By the way, about independence: the WPK, being the ruling party, always tried to lead the DPRK along an independent path of development. Thus, fearing to find itself in a dependent position on the Soviet Union, Korea refused to join the CMEA and began to build a sovereign economy.

This decision, one can say, saved the country during the crisis of the 90s, caused by the collapse of the "socialist bloc" and natural disasters. United under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il, Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the DPRK, the country not only recovered from the floods, but also developed CNC technology, and independently created its own space and nuclear programs.

Today, Korea is moving forward under the leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the WPK, overcoming all possible hardships and difficulties on the path to building a powerful and prosperous socialist state, and opening a new era in Korea-China and Korea-Russia relations.』

Kim Jong Gyu, Vice Foreign Minister of the DPRK in charge of Russian affairs, gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on Friday as regards a rumor that the troops of the Korean People's Army are dispatched to Russia which is recently drawing public attention in the world:

I heeded the rumor of the dispatch of KPA troops to Russia, which the world media is building up public opinion.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry does not directly engage in the things of the Ministry of National Defence, and does not feel the need to confirm it separately.

If there is such a thing that the world media is talking about, I think it will be an act conforming with the regulations of international law.

There will evidently exist forces which want to describe it as illegal one, I think.
