WPK's Leadership over Socialist Construction Praised
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- Seminars were held in Italy and Romania on Oct. 7 and 8 on the occasions of the 63rd anniversary of the foundation of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and the 82nd anniversary of the formation of the "Down-with-Imperialism Union."

Mauro Cazadio, general secretary of the Struggle for the Peace and Socialism of Italy, said at the seminar that the WPK has led the Korean people's struggle for socialist construction to victory while frustrating the continued moves of the imperialists against the DPRK under the banner of the Juche idea holding President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il in high esteem over the past six decades.

All the successes made in the DPRK are a product of the strenuous efforts made by the WPK to rally all the people around the leader as one and strictly maintain the principle of independence, self-supporting and self-reliance in socialist construction, he said, and continued:

The fighting experience of the WPK serves as a valuable textbook, an example to be followed by the progressive parties struggling for independence against imperialism, and for peace and a new society.

Constantin Rotaru, chairman of the Romanian Socialist Union, stressed that the WPK would achieve greater success in socialist construction, holding Kim Jong Il in high esteem as its general secretary.
