Solidarity Resolution in support of the Communist Party of Cuba, proposed by the Workers’ Party of Korea

The imperialists are becoming more blatant in their attempts to topple the socialist system in Cuba. The recent anti-government protests in Cuba are a product of the relentless manoeuvres against the country staged by the US over a long period of time to obliterate the Cuban revolution. Since the victory of the Cuban revolution, the US has committed ceaseless acts of military intervention, subversion and sabotage as well as economic blockade against Cuba under its scheme to stifle the first socialist country in the Western hemisphere by all means. Lately, the US, in collusion with a handful of counter-revolutionary elements in Cuba, has been doggedly resorting to psychological conspiracy warfare and tactics of social disruption in...

The three whales fought among themselves and one of them killed the other two and then, the victorious whale ate the cute little shrimp. This is the story of Korea in the latter half of the 19th century. China, Japan and Russia came and they fought to swallow Korea. Korea was important to them. Russia needed Korea for ice-free ports; China wanted to keep Korea as a vassal country and a buffer zone ...

Comrade Kim Jong Il’s lifelong contribution to the Korean revolution

Why do north Koreans celebrate the date on which Kim Jong Il started work on the central committee of the Workers Party of Korea? Lalkar writers Kim Jong Il addresses a gathering of Korean farmers in 1971. On 19 June 1964, 57 years ago, Comrade Kim Jong Il of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea started working on the central committee of the ruling Workers Party of Korea, and in the DPRK this anniversary is celebrated as one of great importance. This is owing to the fact that, contrary to the scornful dismissals of imperialist media, dutifully parroted by ‘respectable’ bourgeois academics and by sham socialists everywhere, the choice of leader in the DPRK is not one of mere family connection but is based on a long history of hard work. In Comrade Kim Jo...

DPRK and June 19

On June 19, 1964, 57 years ago, Chairman Kim Jong Il of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, started working on the Central Committee of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, and in the DPRK this anniversary is celebrated as one of great importance. It is indicative of the fact that, contrary to scornful dismissals in imperialist media, dutifully parroted by ‘respectable’ bourgeois academics and by sham socialists everywhere, the choice of leader in the DPRK is not one of family connection but is based on a long history of hard work. In Comrade Kim Jong Il’s case, even as a schoolboy he was involved in politics. He was active in the Korean Children’s Union and the Democratic Youth League of North Korea (DYL), taking part in study groups...

Korean victory in the Fatherland Liberation War: 70 years on

‘Our people have inherited the heroic spirit of the generation who defeated the US-led gang in 1953 – a de facto confrontation between the rifle and the atomic bomb.’ DPRK Embassy As our party was unable this year to hold our annual anti-imperialist barbecue, we held instead an online meeting celebrating the Korean victory in the Fatherland Liberation War in 1953, attended by more than 1,200 online (YouTube and Twitter views within the first 18 hours). Those who missed the meeting can catch up with it on Proletarian TV. On this, the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean war, we also reproduce this article, first published by the DPRK’s Institute for Disarmament and Peace, with the aim of keeping alive the memory of the Korean people’s heroic struggle, as...

The hard truths about North Korea that Trump or Biden will have to confront

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/09/03/the-hard-truths-north-korea-trump-biden-will-confront/ by: Dan DePetris Before President Obama departed the White House, he gave his successor, Donald Trump, some advice: pay attention to North Korea, because the reclusive nation will be your top national security priority. As one might expect, President Trump has tackled the North Korea file in his own distinct way. In a blink of an eye, the conventional tactics Washington used against Pyongyang over the previous 30 years were replaced with threats of war and the kind of spur-of-the-moment summitry only a TV journalist could love.Cutting through the mid-level bureaucrats and meeting directly with Kim Jong Un was quintessential Trump. The fact that much of the foreign policy establ...

Kim’s sister says ‘no need’ for another US-N. Korea summit

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Friday there was “no need” for another summit with the United States unless Washington offered a “decisive change” in approach. Kim and US President Donald Trump first met in Singapore two years ago but talks over Pyongyang’s nuclear arsenal have been stalled since their Hanoi summit collapsed in early 2019 over what the North would be willing to give up in exchange for sanctions relief. Trump said this week he would “certainly” meet with Kim again “if I thought it was going to be helpful”, after speculation that he might pursue another summit if it could help his re-election chances in November. But in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, Kim Yo Jong — who has emerged as one of her brother’s c...

Dark Clouds of Military Tension Over the Korean Peninsula, N.Korea Waited, Disappointed and Now Angry

By Prof. Joseph H. Chung In 2012, a young man educated in the West took over the power in Pyongyang; he has decided to transform North Korea into an ordinary country where people can live decent life. His name is Kim Jong-un. He has given everything to achieve his objectives. He met three times Moon Jae-in, president of South Korea and three times Donald Trump, president of the U.S. He made a several-thousand-km train trip in February 2019 to Hanoi filled with the hope for peace; he was betrayed by Trump. Yet, he has not given up the hope; he still trusted Moon Jae-in; he waited, he was disappointed. Then, a group of North Korean refugees in South Korea has not stopped sending balloons of anti-Kim Jong-un propaganda leaflets insulting the dignity of the supreme...
