The Roots of the Workers Party of Korea
His Excellency,
Mr Kim Jong Un,
General Secretary Workers Party of Korea,
President State Affairs Commission DPRK,
Supreme Commander DPRK Arm Forces,
Dear Excellency,
Throughout the region The Asia Pacific Regional Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in celebrating the 77th anniversary of the glorious Workers Party of Korea extends to you, the Workers Party of Korea and all the Korean people best wishes and solidarity greetings on this historical and revolutionary event.
During the early period of the anti-Japanese struggle pockets of Korean guerilla resistance fighters had been formed and whilst they were waging a heroic arm struggle, their struggle lacked a proper direction and ideological perspective. Recognising this serious weakness, President Kim IL Sung formed the “Down with Imperialism Union” (DWIU) October 1926, which for the first time provided the Korean struggle against the Japanese a fundamental anti imperialist revolutionary outlook.
The formation of the DWIU was an historic announcement heralding a new start of the Korean revolution and an epoch event provided a milestone of a radical turn in shaping the destiny of the future of Korea and its independence. Under the banner of the DWIU the anti Japanese armed ranks were organised and the arm struggle against the Japanese took a new direction in waging an anti imperialist national independence struggle. The roots of the Workers Party of Korea had been sown and gain a strong foothold amongst the Korean people.
With the victory of Liberation Day 15th August 1945 and under the leadership of the Workers Party of Korea the Korean people undertook the task of introducing progressive and democratic reforms to consolidate their new found independence and to reestablish their economy from the legacy of the Japanese scorch earth policy.
However peace was to be short lived and once again the Korean people led by President Kim IL Sung and the Workers Party of Korea where once again waging a war of National Liberation against the military might of US Imperialism and its vassal allies and once again it was the Workers Party of Korea that led the Korean people to victory in the "Fatherland Liberation War."
Since that great victory the Workers Party of Korea under the wise leadership of President Kim IL Sung, General Kim Jong IL and now Marshall Kim Jong Un have led the Korean people to victory after victory and have starred down the naked aggression of US Imperialism and have fortified their sacred land of Korea with a powerful nuclear deterrent that preserves peace on the Korean peninsula.
Throughout its glorious history the Workers Party of Korea has remained steadfast to the ideals and principles of socialism. It has led the Korean people to victory after victory and defeated all of the machinations of US Imperialism.
Today the Workers Party of Korea and the Korean people under the flag of Juche and the banner of Sungun Politic can with great pride and confidence celebrate 77years of Workers Party of Korea leadership with the full knowledge that the future of Korea socialism, independence and the preservation of peace is being safegurded by the leadership of Marshall Kim Jong Un, the power of a nuclear state and the leadership of the Workers Party of Korea.
