Message of Condolence
The Co-ordinating Committee
of Friends of Korea, Britain, expresses its deepest condolences on the sad and
untimely death of Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people. This is
an incalculable loss of one who devoted his entire life until his last breath
to serving the Korean people in the cause of building a human-centred society,
a cause which is one espoused by the democratic and anti-imperialist forces the
world over.
Kim Jong Il followed in the
footsteps of the great leader Kim Il Sung, carrying forward his legacy,
cherishing and working tirelessly for the reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and building the DPRK into an impregnable fortress
in order to contribute to the peace and security of the region and on the world
scale. It was by following and developing the principles and outlook of Juche
that Kim Jong Il led the people in striving to fulfil the goal of building the
DPRK into a powerful and prosperous country. It was a course which is being
fulfilled by the deed of the people themselves, ever ready to defend this lofty
ideal.
We express the sentiment of
progressive opinion to stand as one in friendship and solidarity with the
Korean people in these difficult times. Above all, we take it as our duty to
defend the right of the Korean people to follow their own chosen
nation-building path, free from outside interference. This is a course from
which no hostile force can divert the Korean people and its leadership, and
which contributes to the aspirations of peace-loving people everywhere for a
new world free from imperialism, domination, subjugation, aggression and war.
The Friends of Korea in Britain express their confidence that the Workers’ Party of
Korea, and the whole people of the DPRK, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un,
will overcome all difficulties in carrying forward the legacy of Kim Jong Il.
We salute Comrade Kim Jong Il in his passing, and underline our conviction that
his contributions to the cause of progressive humanity and to bringing into
being a new world and bright future will forever remain undimmed.
