| Hyong Hak Bong brings greetings from the DPRK |
By
New Worker correspondent
It was a hot summer evening but that
didn’t deter comrades and friends from
joining New Communist Party
leader Andy Brooks and Party Chair Alex Kempshall in celebrating the 36th anniversary of the foundation of the NCP last Saturday at the Party Centre in
London.
Honoured guests included Hyong Hak Bong,
the London ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Dermot
Hudson from the UK Korean Friendship Association who both paid tribute to the
NCP’s consistent solidarity with Democratic Korea and its principled support
for the communist ideal during the formal part of the proceedings.
Some friends, like our comrades in the
RCPB (ML) and the SLP, were absent as they were taking part in the great Durham
Miners Gala, but their solidarity messages stressed the warm bonds of
friendship that have been forged through
joint solidarity work over the
years.
Everyone paused for a few moments of
remembrance at the sad loss of veteran comrade Dolly Shaer, the NCP National
Treasurer who passed away in July and everyone who spoke paid tribute to the
veteran comrade whose whole life had been dedicated to the cause of communism.
It therefore fell on Alex to make the
appeal for the New Worker and call on all our friends to dig deep to kick off
the new paper building fund that is now essential to guarantee the survival of
our communist weekly. The comrades responded in the true spirit by raising £285
on the night
