NEW COMMUNIST Party comrades
joined other communists at seminar last week at the John Buckle Centre in south
London to celebrate the 66th
anniversary of the foundation of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).
The
seminar at the London HQ of the RCPB (ML), called by the Friends of Korea
co-ordinating committee, heard contributions from Korean solidarity activists
on the achievements of the WPK and its great leaders Kim Il Song and Kim Jong
Il, over the years.
It was chaired
by Dermot Hudson of the UK Korea Friendship
Association and the discussion began with contributions from Michael Chant of
the RCPB (ML), NCP general secretary Andy Brooks and DPR Korea London diplomat
Mun Myong Sin on the importance and relevance of the Korean revolutionary
experience to the world communist movement in the 21st century.
The NCP leader
praised the feats of the WPK and denounced the hostile propaganda of
imperialism against the DPRK in his contribution, which focused on the
relevance and meaning of independence and self-sufficiency in Juche thinking.
Michael Chant spoke about the importance and
significance of the WPK and the great role of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and Dermot
Hudson gave a succinct history of the Korean communists’
revolutionary struggle from the beginning of the struggle against Japanese
colonial rule in the 1920s.
After a
round-table discussion the seminar concluded with the unanimous agreement to
send the following congratulatory message to Democratic Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
