FRIENDS of Korea met in London last weekend to
pay tribute to the memory of dear leader Kim Jong Il, the leader of the
Workers’ Party of Korea who died on 17th December 2011.
Though a solemn occasion it was also a
celebration of the achievements of Kim Jong Il and the people of Democratic
Korea under his leadership. And this was vividly shown in the north Korean film
screened at the meeting at the Marchmont Centre in Bloomsbury
on Saturday.
The film, a documentary covering the funeral
of the Korean leader also showed how the Korean workers have turned their grief
into action to carry on the work under their new leader Kim Jong Un.
During the formal part of the meeting tributes
were paid to Kim Jong Il’s work from Michael Chant of the RCPB (ML), Dermot
Hudson of the Juché Idea Study Group and NCP leader Andy Brooks and a message
was read out from John McLeod of the Socialist Labour Party, who unfortunately
could not come in person.
The
meeting was organised by the Co-ordinating Committee of the Friends of Korea,
which brings together all the major movements active in Korean friendship work
in Britain
today. It is chaired by Andy Brooks and
the secretary is Michael Chant.
The committee consists of the New Communist
Party of Britain, Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (ML), Socialist
Labour Party, European Regional Society for the Study of the Juché Idea and the
UK Korean Friendship Association.
Meetings are open to all friends of the Korean
revolution and the committee organises events throughout the year in London, which are listed
by the supporting movements and on the Friends of Korea blog.
