People
battled their way through Storm Dennis to celebrate the Day of the Shining Star
at a meeting in central London last weekend, organised by Korean Friendship
Association (KFA) and the Friends of Korea (FoK) committee.
KFA Chair Dermot Hudson introduced the
meeting, stressing the importance of the Day of the Shining Star and increasing
solidarity with People's Korea. FoK Secretary Michael Chant, General Secretary
of the RCPB-ML, spoke about the injustice of the sanctions against the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), stressing the fact the UK is
still maintaining the European Union (EU) sanctions against the DPRK despite
leaving the EU!
A contribution from the DPRK’s London
Embassy was read out. Part of it read: “February 16 is the birthday of Kim Jong
Il, eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea. When the day comes round every year, many people of
the world recall him with deep emotion.
“Kim Jong Il devoted his whole life for
the cause of global peace. He led the struggle to build a new world free from
aggression and war upholding the banner of anti-imperialist independence.”
