Seminar on the Immortal Achievements of the Great Leader Comrade
KIM JONG IL
On the occasions of the 83th birth anniversary of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Serbian Committee for celebrating the Day of the Shining Star organized a seminar on Feb 9th 2025.
Mr. Viktor Janković, Chairman of the Serbian Committee f for celebrating the Day of the Shining Star and Chairman of the Serbian National Committee on the Study of the Juche Idea addressed as follows:
“Chairman Kim Jong Il (1942-2011) of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, was an outstanding leader of the era of independence who, with his profound ideas and theories and uncommon leadership, made undying contributions to the cause of socialism and global independence.
Comrade Kim Jong Il was an outstanding thinker and theoretician who illuminated the path for mankind to follow and enriched the treasure house of human ideology through his unique ideo-theoretical activities.
As he carried on and developed in depth the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), he authored the world-famous masterpiece On the Juche Idea.
Those who have read the work unanimously say that the Juche idea is the idea that all should follow, no matter who they are, and it is the idea representative of mankind and the world, and that the idea is a great philosophy, a great idea and a great outlook on the world inspiring the masses of the people to the struggle for global independence and the liberation of mankind.
When socialism collapsed one after another in several countries at the end of the last century, the DPRK remained unperturbed thanks to the staunch independent line of Chairman Kim Jong Il based on the Juche idea. When the imperialist allied forces trumpeted the “end of socialism,” he made public several works including The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party, Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable and Socialism Is a Science.
His works proved the scientific accuracy and truth of socialism and inevitability of its victory and dealt a telling blow to the imperialists and reactionaries.
His ideas and theories are still a compass to those aspiring to justice and progress.
Songun politics was an advantageous mode of politics established by Chairman Kim Jong Il to defend the sovereignty of the country and people from the imperialists’ moves for aggression.
Since the mid-1990s, the US-led imperialist allied forces intensified their military pressure on socialist Korea to stifle it. They openly let out belligerent remarks such as “preemptive nuclear strike” to the country.
At this juncture, Comrade Kim Jong Il fully established the political mode of giving precedence to military affairs above anything else on the principle of attaching importance to arms, the principle of prioritizing military affairs, of strengthening the motive force of the revolution with the Korean People’s Army as the core and main force, and of advancing the socialist cause victoriously by relying on it. In order to defend the sovereignty of the country from the imperialist allied forces’ threat of war, he gave ceaseless field guidance to the front-line posts, thereby consolidating the might of the KPA in every way. He also saw to it that the service personnel were dispatched to major sectors of socialist construction to make a breakthrough for economic development.
Thanks to his Songun politics, the DPRK became one of the world’s few satellite manufacturers and launchers and nuclear states in the hardest period for it, and opened up a broad avenue for building a powerful socialist country and laid a solid foundation for it.
Later, the reality in which several countries and nations had their sovereignty trampled underfoot by foreign aggressive forces and were driven into a vortex of upheavals clearly proved that the Songun politics of the DPRK is a model of independent politics.
Still the world progressives highly praise the exploits of Comrade Kim Jong Il who defended peace and security on the Korean peninsula, prevented a new world war and laid a foundation for the prosperity of his country with his Songun politics.”
A member of the Serbian National Committee on the Study of the Juche Idea said as follows;
“It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the development of modern Korea is the one of continued miracles.
The Korean people built their army and country in a matter of three years after it was freed from Japan’s military occupation (1905-1945) and repelled the invasion (1950-1953) of the US-led allied imperialist forces. They rehabilitated the country on the debris in little more than three years although Americans asserted that Koreans would be unable to rise up again in a hundred years, and completed socialist industrialization in the short period of 14 years.
Towards the late 20th century the allied imperialist forces intensified anti-socialist offensive in the wake of the collapse of socialism in several countries. Yet, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea held higher the banner of socialism and even built up the foundations for building a powerful socialist country.
The Korean people did not work out such miracles in their past history alone.
Over the last decade alone modern cultural and leisure facilities, medical service centres, new streets and other monumental structures sprang up across the country. Rapid progress was made also in building up national defence capabilities to create reliable security environment of the country, striking the world with admiration.
As the Korean media says, the country is changing in its appearance yesterday and today, morning and evening. This is an extension of such miraculous development.
The Korean people have demonstrated the truth to the world that their socialist system, which puts them forward as the masters of society and its members remain faithful to their responsibility and role as such, will win victory after victory for ever, far from collapsing or vacillating even though the risky schemes of the hostile forces to stifle their country may reach the extreme and one generation is replaced by another.
This year, too, the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK government organized and promoted gigantic undertakings which would serve as a watershed in drastically advancing the cause of socialism.
The WPK initiated the Regional Development 20×10 Policy aimed at building new modern regional-industry factories across the country within 10 years, in 20 counties each year, so as to improve the basic material and cultural living standards of the local population to a higher level, and attached paramount importance to its implementation.
Comrade Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, visited relevant regions to acquaint himself with the promotion of the construction of regional-industry factories and take drastic measures to that end.
The international community acknowledges that the Korean people would surely work out another unprecedented miracle by carrying out the policy under his leadership although hardships and trials might crop up in their way.”
Following the meeting, all participants watched the Koran documentary film.
