IN DEMOCRATIC Korea Kim Jong Il’s
birthday has long been known as the Day of the Shining Star and throughout the
world overseas Koreans, progressives and communists held their own events in
honour of Kim Jong Il, who was born on 16th February 1942 and died
at his post on 17th December 2011. In London a number of events were
held over the past two weeks to commemorate the life and times of Kim Jong Il, culminating
at a reception at the DPRK embassy last week.
New Communist Party
leader Andy Brooks joined others in laying floral tributes in front of the
portraits of the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il at the opening of the
reception, which brought together communists, diplomats and many of those
actively involved in solidarity with Democratic Korea in London and across the
country.
Kim Jong Il’s
entire life was devoted to serving the Korean people. Following Kim Il Sung’s
footsteps, Kim Jong Il led the Workers Party of Korea into the 21st century
to build a strong and prosperous socialist republic. Kim Jong Il was a leading
Marxist thinker who made an important contribution to the modern communist
theory as well as an astute statesman who led the Korean people through thick
and thin to overcome natural disasters, imperialist blockade and diplomatic
isolation.
While ensuring
the DPRK’s defence against the threats and provocations of US imperialism and
its lackeys, Kim Jong Il worked tirelessly to ease tension on the Korean
peninsula to pave the way towards the peaceful reunification of Korea.
Now the Korean
people are racing ahead at a new fast speed of socialist construction,
upholding the slogan put forward by the young leader, Kim Jong Un: "Let us raise a fierce wind of making a
fresh leap forward on all fronts of building a thriving country filled with
confidence in victory!"
