| Ambassador Hyon Hak Bong speaking |
KIM IL SUNG was the greatest
Korean who has ever lived and an outstanding communist revolutionary and
thinker. That was how NCP leader Andy Brooks put it at a reception held last
Sunday at the HQ of the RCPB (ML) to mark the 19th anniversary of
the passing of President Kim Il Sung and the 50th anniversary of the
Korean people’s victory in the Korean War.
The
reception at the John Buckle Centre in south London was hosted by the
Preparatory Committee (Britain) to celebrate the Korean People’s Victory in the
Korean War and was an initiative of the long-standing Friends of Korea
committee.
The guest of honour was Hyon Hak Bong,
Ambassador at the Embassy of the DPRK, who made a short presentation outlining
the current situation of the Korean peninsula. Other speakers included Michael
Chant of the RCPB (ML) who chaired the formal part of the event, together with Andy Brooks, Dermot Hudson of the UK Korean
Friendship Association and John McLeod from the Socialist Labour Party (SLP).
Other
friends and comrades, including SLP President Andrew Jordan, used the
opportunity to get first-hand information on Democratic Korea from the Korean
comrades over drinks and Korean food which came later.
