Demonstration of Unity and Faith

The events held in Pyongyang, the capital city of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, in celebration of the 75^th founding anniversary of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, were beyond the imagination of the peoples of the world in their contents and scale.

The elite army units and state-of-the art weapons that went past Kim Il Sung Square were surprising, but all the more surprising were the orderly procession of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the torchlight procession of young people and their enthusiastic cheers.

There are many political parties in the world and they have their own supporters, but none of them celebrate their founding anniversary as enthusiastically as the DPRK does.

This gives a glimpse of the single-hearted unity of all the people around the WPK.

The 75-year history of WPK has made the Korean people feel that its policies are all aimed at bringing welfare to them.

The WPK has raised them as masters of their destiny, as masters of the state and society. Universal free medical care and free compulsory education are in force, houses built at state expense are provided to the people free of charge, and other people-oriented policies are administered. The WPK advanced the target of building the country into a powerful socialist one, translating the people’s dreams and ideals into reality.

The celebration events demonstrated the people’s will to follow the WPK to the end of the earth.

All the victories and successes achieved by the DPRK over the past 75 years are fruition born of the WPK’s leadership. Under its leadership the Korean people carried out the historic task of socialist industrialization in only 14 years. In the harshest period of the end of the last century, they not only defended socialism but also laid down new economic foundations as demanded by the 21^st century under the banner of Songun raised by the WPK, and launched into building theirs into a powerful socialist country. In the course of braving manifold challenges of history, they have cherished the faith that they will always emerge victorious as long as they are led by the WPK.

The international community has felt the unity and faith of the Korean people while seeing these celebration events, which no others can imitate or concoct.
