NCP
leader Andy Brooks and London secretary Theo Russell joined other communists,
diplomats and friendship activists in celebrating the foundation of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea at a lunch-time reception at the DPRK
embassy in London last week.
Democratic Korean ambassador Choe Il
welcomed everyone to the gathering which included Chris Coleman from the RCPB
(ML) and veteran campaigner Mushtaq Lasharie, the chair of the Third World
Solidarity movement, as well as
representatives from the Foreign Office and members of the Korean Friendship
Association.
On 9th September 1948 the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was established in the free northern part
of the Korean peninsula that had once been part of the Japanese Empire. It’s a
special day for Koreans on both sides of the divided country and amongst the
overseas Korean community because on that day in 1948 the Korean people
expressed their democratic will through popular power and immediately took the
first steps towards building a new socialist life for the workers and peasants
who had fought to free themselves from the Japanese yoke that had enslaved them
for many decades.
