DPRK: Speech of Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un at Meeting to Celebrate 80th Founding Anniversary of WPK! (10.10.2025)

Comrades and friends,

The 80th anniversary of the WPK is a glorious milestone thanks to the immortal achievements it has made over the long years for the country and the people and for the times and history.

The founding of our Party did not simply mean the birth of a political party in a country; it was a political event that signalled the emergence on the stage of history a new-type revolutionary party that would verify the righteousness of socialism and demonstrate its unique superiority and might.

From the days of building democracy, which coincided with its founding and the start of its leadership over the overall state and social life, to this day, the WPK has remained faithful to its responsibility and role as an engine of the revolution and guiding force of state administration and, in the course of this, has performed truly remarkable historic exploits.

Venezuela Salutes China's Founding!

Venezuela: Respect to Mao Zedong – Congratulations on the 76th Founding [1949-2025] of the People’s Republic of China! (1.10.2025)

76 years ago, Mao Zedong gave the cry of freedom, announcing to the world the birth of a new China, forged in the alliance of peasants and workers. With perseverance, the People’s Republic of China has turned history around to fulfill the dream of the “Great Helmsman”: to be a powerful and sovereign nation.

Paraphrasing the statement of our Commander Chávez: in Asia, a power is emerging that is neither imperialist nor colonialist, but seeks cooperation and development. China has consolidated its own model with an identity and historical wisdom.

Today we are building the new humanity that longs for a future of peace, freedom, development, and independence, a true community with a shared destiny, and I am glad to have such powerful brothers in the world.
