KIM IL SUNG

SPEECH DELIVERED AT A LJUBLJANA MASS MEETING TO WELCOME THE PARTY AND GOVERNMENT DELEGATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA

 

June 9, 1975

 

Esteemed Comrade Josip Broz Tito and Comrade Iovanka Broz,

Dear Comrade Tone Kovic, Mayor of Ljubljana,

Comrades and friends,

We should like to express our deep thanks to the citizens of Ljubljana for this enthusiastic welcome given to us today.

Allow me also to express my gratitude to Comrade Josip Broz Tito for accompanying us all the time, although he is unwell.

The warm welcome afforded us by the citizens of Ljubljana today in the town, along the streets and at this square, is a clear token of the firm friendship and solidarity of the Yugoslav people for the Korean people.

We are very happy to meet you citizens of Ljubljana and receive your enthusiastic welcome.

Whilst visiting here today, we have become fully aware of the fact that, during the second world war, the working class and patriotic people of Slovenia, in common with all the Yugoslav people, waged an arduous armed struggle against the Nazi fascists and won a great victory in national liberation.

The immortal exploits performed by the Yugoslav communists and patriots for the liberation of the motherland and the people will shine forever.

We wish the Yugoslav people more brilliant successes in the struggle to defend the gains of revolution firmly and build socialism under the wise leadership of the Yugoslav League of Communists headed by Comrade Josip Broz Tito.

The Korean and Yugoslav peoples established bonds of friendship a long time ago through the anti-imperialist and anti-fascist armed struggle, which have recently been further strengthened in many spheres.

Our present visit to Yugoslavia is becoming a turning point in developing friendly relations between the Parties, Governments and peoples of our two countries to new heights; we are very pleased with this.

Our people, who cherish friendship with the Yugoslav people, will continue to make every effort to strengthen and develop the good relations of friendship and cooperation between the two peoples.

Whe
n we return home, we shall tell the Korean people about the warm friendly feelings expressed by the Yugoslav people for them.

Long live the fraternal friendship and unity between the Korean and Yugoslav peoples!

Long live the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia!
