THE 70th anniversary of the
liberation of Korea was celebrated in style on Saturday 8th August at London’s historic Marx
Memorial Library in Clerkenwell Green. Friends and comrades gathered to hear all
the members of the Friends of Korea committee highlight the defeat of the
Japanese Empire by the guerrilla army commanded by great leader Kim Il Sung and
call on the United States to sign a peace treaty with Democratic Korea and end
the conflict on the Korean peninsula once and for all.
This was
followed by a report on the current situation from Ambassador Hyong Hak Bong
from the London embassy of the DPR Korea and general discussion. The event
ended with a Korean musical interval and the informal discussion over drinks
that always follows amongst friends of the Korean revolution.
The Friends of
Korea committee brings together all the major movements active in Korean
friendship and solidarity work in Britain today. The committee includes the New
Communist Party, Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (ML), Socialist
Labour Party (SLP), Juché Idea Study Group and the UK Korean Friendship
Association (KFA).
It is chaired by
Andy Brooks. The secretary is Michael Chant and the committee includes Dermot
Hudson of the KFA and John McLeod of the SLP. The committee organises meetings
throughout the year, which are publicised by the supporting movements and on
the Friends of Korea blog.
