Solidarity campaigners returned to Brixton last weekend for a hybrid meeting which brought together leading members of the Friends of Korea committee in London and linked up with others around the country including a diplomat from the DPR Korea embassy. The latest in a series of occasional public meetings organised by the Co-ordinating Committee of Friends of Korea in Britain was chaired by NCP leader Andy Brooks and opened with contributions from Michael Chant of the RCPB (ML), Dermot Hudson of the Korean Friendship Association and Keith Bennett, the doyen of Korean solidarity work in the United Kingdom.
The DPRK and the Korean people have never wavered from defending their independence, their socialist system and their own path of development, as well as striving for peace in the face of imperialist intervention by US imperialism and its lackeys. The meeting discussed how, given the important geopolitical position of the country, People’s Korea has adopted a militant and resolute approach towards defending its socialist path and maintaining political power in the people’s hands. At the same time, the DPRK is making substantial progress in developing and consolidating its external relations.
