Message from the DPRK Embassy to the Meeting Today Comrades,
Today, we celebrate in humble reverence and yearning, the 114th anniversary of the birthday of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, the peerless patriot and the hero of the nation.
Comrade Kim Il Sung, who once embarked on the road of revolutionary struggle against Japanese Imperialism at his early age of 14, created the immortal Juche Idea and battled his way against icy wind of Mt. Paektu to achieve the historic feat of national liberation by defeating brutal Japanese imperialism.
Our party, founded by the great leader, is the most authoritative and powerful Juche-oriented revolutionary party, and our army is an invincible Mt. Paektu revolutionary force, and our country is the socialist power centred on the popular masses who is the master of everything.
The great Comrade Kim Jong Il devoted himself until the last period of his life, to complete the revolutionary cause of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
Today, the great ideal of building a powerful nation initiated by the great leaders has been blossomed into reality under the wise leadership of the respected supreme leader Comrade Kim Jong Un.
Having the respected Marshal at the forefront of our revolution, our army and people will resolutely frustrate the reckless nuclear threat and aggressive manoeuvres of imperialists and its allies, and will achieve the decisive victory in building the economic power.
Although the United States is now resorting to acts of state-sponsored terrorism and aggression in various parts of the world, its arrogant high-handedness and rashness have failed to undermine the will of progressive mankind to oppose domination and subjugation and achieve independence and equality, but rather triggered off anti-American sentiments and hatred of the forces aspiring after independence, and they are pushing them towards unity and resistance.
The forces aspiring after independence will surely overcome the present trials and get stronger than the hegemony-seeking forces, and the building of an equitable and just multipolar world will be further promoted.
The government of the DPRK will, in the future, too, readily undertake the historic mission of leading the trend of global independence under the uplifted banner of independence.-0-

Message from comrade Alejandro Cao De Benos to the Meeting "KIM IL SUNG and characteristics of Korean style socialism and its success "
When we survey the collapse of other so-called socialist states, we see a clear lesson: abandonment of principle leads to ruin. Their failure was not socialism’s failure, but a failure of resolve. They strayed from the real socialism, surrendering to foreign capitalist influence and weakening the unity between the people and their leader.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea stands as the unshakable pinnacle of success precisely because it has done the opposite. DPRK's leadership is not a transient political office, but the embodiment of the nation’s very soul—a lineage of peerless greatness passed generation after generation. This provides the absolute unity that makes its society an impregnable fortress. The revolutionary military deterrence guarantees the sovereignty, ensuring no external force can dictate its path. By blocking corrupting capitalist influence and holding fast to the self-reliant Juche principles, the glorious DPRK has secured its legacy. The country is thriving as the genuine, victorious model of socialism to be followed by the world's people fighting for justice, independence and equality.

“The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea stands as the unshakable pinnacle of success precisely because it has done the opposite.

A message was also received from the secretary general of the British Group For the Study of the Juche and head of Staffordshire KFA UK which said “ The theory and practice of the Great and Respected Leader, President Kim IL Sung continues to inspire generations of revolutionaries on every continent. The Juche Idea is known for its creative essence and is a guide for all progressives who desire an independent world free of imperialism.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea shows in practice that a new world of social justice is possible. All the internal and external policies of the DPRK serve the interests of the people in every possible way. People's Korea is perhaps the only country in the world able to stand up and defeat the forces of imperialism. Under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un, the DPRK is going from strength to strength after the deliberations of the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea.”
