Victory of the DPRK
– Mr. W.A. Duminduwardane

Solidarity Association-
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a mysterious country in the East. This country, despite extreme sanctions and blockade imposed upon it by the allied forces of the US and other imperialists and the manifold trials and unprecedented natural calamities, has become more powerful and achieved one victory after another.
The secret of the victory of the DPRK is connected with the history of struggle of the Korean people.
The anti-Japanese guerrillas led by Commander Kim Il Sung (1912-1994) frustrated the Japanese army’s numerical and technical superiority by means of political and ideological, strategic and tactical superiority, and achieved the historic cause of the country’s liberation(August 15, 1945).
After the country’s liberation, Korea wrought another miracle in the three-year-long Korean war(1950-1953)unleashed by the US. Hurled into it were a huge armed force over two million strong, including troops of the US and its 15 vassal states, ROK army and the remnants of the former Japanese army, and enormous amounts of war materiel weighing over 73million tons. In those days the US generals bragged that the war would be finished within three days.
However, the war lasted for three years against their expectation and the US signed an armistice agreement no better than an instrument of surrender. The young DPRK, less than two-years-old, defeated the allied imperialist forces led by the US that had been boasting of being the ‘strongest’ in the world.
After the war, the DPRK has won victories without let-up. Counting the number of bombs dropped on the land of the DPRK, the US had alleged that even in a hundred years Korea would not rise again on the war debris, but in three years the Korean people carried out post-war rehabilitation. It also attained the high goal of industrialization only in 14 years, which other countries had taken a hundred or hundreds of years to attain.
In the closing years of the 20th century socialism collapsed one after another in several countries and unheard-of natural disasters hit the DPRK for several consecutive years. Led by Chairman Kim Jong Il the Korean people, holding aloft the banner of Songun, braved the worst-ever trials and difficulties, defending socialism and ushering in a new era of building a powerful socialist country. The US and the Western countries are now making desperate efforts to isolate and stifle this country by usurping the name of the United Nations, but the DPRK has erected one after another world-standard structures that symbolize the victory in the building of a powerful socialist country under the leadership of President Kim Jong Un of the DPRK State Affairs.
The history of the DPRK’s victory has continued from one generation to the next and century after century, and this has become an immutable law that no one can deny.
Secret of Victory! Then, what makes the DPRK always emerge victorious?
First, the Korean people are led by the outstanding leaders generation after generation. Through the historical experiences the Korean people have kept it as an iron truth that they are sure to win if they follow the leadership of an outstanding leader.
The Juche idea authored by President Kim II Sung and developed by Chairman Kim Jong Il in a deep-going way and their embodiment, all lines and policies, serve as an almighty strategy and sword which bring all victories to the country.
At a speech delivered at the military parade held in April 2012 in
Under the seasoned leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un the DPRK has achieved world-startling miracles in every field of building a powerful socialist country with each passing day, and made preparations for a final showdown against the US, the sworn enemy of the Korean nation, by dint of invincible military capabilities.
Second, the DPRK relies on the strength of the people.
In this country the people are being regarded as mentors and omnipotent beings.
The ideal of “The people are my God,” which was the lifetime motto of President Kim II Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, is also the motto of Comrade Kim Jong Un.
Kim Jong Un‘s politics is based on the benevolent love for the people, and runs through with the devotion for the good of the people.
Hence, the Korean people absolutely respect and follow him, they are ready to sacrifice themselves in the struggle to support his leadership and materialize his plans and intentions.
