Commemorative lecture meeting on the occasion
of the 80th Founding Anniversary of the Workers’Party of Korea
On the
occasions of the 80th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the Serbian
Preparatory Committee for Celebrating 80th Founding Anniversary of the
WPK organized a commemorative lecture meeting on June 22nd , 2025.
Mr. Viktor
Janković, Chairman of the Serbian Preparatory Committee for Celebrating 80th
Founding Anniversary of the WPK and Chairman of the Serbian National Committee
on the Study of the Juche Idea addressed as follows:
“Founded
on October 10, 1945, the WPK boasts a long ruling history. Ever since it was
organized, it has remained faithful to its original ideals. In the formulation
and implementation of all its policies it has held fast to the principle of
giving absolute priority to the people’s interests and convenience and directed
all social wealth to promoting their well-being while working to provide them
with cultured living conditions.
In the
year after Korea was liberated on August 15, 1945 from Japan’s military
occupation that started in 1905 the WPK ensured that land reform was enforced
to realize the centuries-old desire of the Korean peasants, and put the people
as the masters of the country through various democratic reforms including the
promulgation of the law on the nationalization of major industries and the law
on sex equality. Like this it started its work with the administration of
people-oriented policies. For scores of years afterwards it has administered
the people-first policies that are unprecedented in the political history of
ruling socialist parties.
This can
be explained through numerous structures built across the country over the past
ten-odd years.
To
provide the people with cultured living conditions the country built many
cultural and leisure facilities in different parts and renovated Samjiyon as a
model of mountainous cultured city. It also built Changjon, Mirae Scientists,
Ryomyong, Songhwa, Hwasong, Rimhung and Jonwi streets, the Pothong Riverside
Terraced Houses District, medical service centres such as Okryu Children’s
Hospital, Ryugyong General Ophthalmic Hospital and Ryugyong Dental Hospital as
well as gigantic vegetable producers such as the Jungphyong Greenhouse Farm,
the Ryonpho Greenhouse Farm and the Kangdong Combined Greenhouse Farm to
promote people’s health and improve their living standards.
Over the
recent years consecutive natural disasters hit several parts of the country,
leaving many homeless. The WPK set housing construction for the victims as the
first target of the rehabilitation projects and built modern houses with no
vestige of their old appearance in the afflicted areas in a short span of time
by enlisting all national efforts.
Today
the country’s economic situation is not good and it is difficult to find any
more reserves. But the WPK advanced the “Regional Development 20×10 Policy” to
raise the basic material and cultural standard of living of the regional people
and has since pushed ahead with its implementation. Recently it has decided to
add the construction of advanced facilities for public health, science,
education and cultural activities and grain management to the regional
development policy. This measure highlights the intention of the WPK which
regards the people as Heaven.
Since
the initial days of its founding, it has regarded it as its inherent mission to
believe in the people as in heaven and serve them, and has made strenuous
efforts to this end, thereby winning their absolute support and trust despite
the passage of time.”
Following
the meeting, all participants watched the Koran documentary film.
