Today, our people are celebrating the 74th founding anniversary of our glorious fatherland, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), which has only recorded victory and glory along its course of development in the face of the upheavals of history.
In retrospect, the founding of the DPRK, our people’s cradle of blessed life, was an event of great national significance achieved by the outstanding leadership and the ideology of building an independent state of President Kim Il Sung.
President Kim Il Sung, in important meetings such as the Kalun meeting during the period of arduous anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, had clarified that our government to be established in the liberated fatherland should be a democratic one which safeguards the interests of the popular masses.
He set valuable examples of building a people’s government by founding the people’s revolutionary government, the unique one in its type, in guerrilla bases, and later, formulated the line of building a people’s government in the “Ten-Point Program of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland”.
After liberating the fatherland by leading anti-Japanese revolutionary war to victory, President Kim Il Sung published immortal classic works such as “On Founding the Party, State and Armed Forces in the Liberated Homeland”, “Let Us Unite the Masses of the People and Build a New Korea” and “For the Establishment of a Genuine People’s Government”, powerfully inspiring the entire people to the construction of a new fatherland.
In February, 1946, President Kim Il Sung established the North Korean Provisional People’s Committee, the central power organ, and announced eleven-point immediate tasks and the “Twenty-Point Platform”, and energetically led the struggle for the successful implementation of all democratic reforms and for creation of favorable conditions for the establishment of a united government.
The North Korean People’s Committee, the first socialist government in our country, was established in February, 1947. And in April, 1948, a joint conference of representatives of political parties and social organizations of north and south Korea was held in Pyongyang, thus providing a broad socio-political foothold for the establishment of a united central government.
Thanks to the energetic leadership of President Kim Il Sung, we could finally declare to the world the founding of the DPRK on September 9, 1948.
The founding of the DPRK brought a radical change in shaping the destiny of our people and building a prosperous and powerful fatherland, and opened up a new era of building a socialist country shining with independence, self-sufficiency and self-reliance.
It is the aspiration and desire of the popular masses to live happily with dignity in a prosperous and powerful country.
This strong desire, however, can be realized only under the leadership of a great leader. It is substantiated by the glorious 70-year-plus history of the DPRK.
A personage in South America expressed his excitement in his writing, saying that the DPRK built a people-centered socialism of its own style under the wise leadership of President Kim Il Sung, the eternal leader of the Korean people, and the state-building history of the Juche Korea serves as a great victory for world revolution as well as the symbol of freedom and struggle of the world people.
President Kim Il Sung is, indeed, an outstanding leader who provided an everlasting foundation for our fatherland through his great revolutionary practice.
Everlasting would be the immortal feats of President Kim Il Sung who illuminated the way forward both for our people and the world progressive people by creating a global model of building an independent state.
