Liberation Day of Korea Celebrated
Pyongyang August 22 (KCNA) -- Meetings and a lecture were held in Democratic Congo, Poland and Ukraine on August 13 and 14 to mark the 64th anniversary of Korea's liberation.

Displayed in the venues of the functions were works of General Secretary Kim Jong Il and photos on his Songun leadership exploits and books and photos on the Korean people in the efforts to build a great prosperous and powerful nation.

Otete Gaston Mboyo, chairman of the National Committee of the Genuine Lumumbist Patriotic Party of Democratic Congo, at a meeting mentioned the undying feats of President Kim Il Sung who liberated Korea, the worldwide significance of Korea's liberation and the validity of the Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il.

60-odd years have passed since Korea was liberated, but there still goes on the colonial rule of the U.S. in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, he pointed out, saying: The only way for achieving the reunification of Korea is to drive the U.S. forces out of south Korea and found the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo.

The chairman of the Poland-Korea Association said at a meeting that it is the brilliant fruition of the original Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il that the Korean people have smashed every move of the hostile forces against the DPRK and socialism and dynamically advanced toward the building of a great prosperous and powerful nation and the reunification of the country with unshakable confidence in victory, invariably upholding the banner of socialism.

Nikolai Polishk, chairman of the Ukrainian "Treasured Sword of Songun" Association for the Study of the Juche Idea, said in the lecture that the brilliant revolutionary traditions created in the anti-Japanese struggle are now being inherited reliably by the Songun politics.

A message of greetings to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the event in Ukraine.
