Politics 2024.6.5.

87 years have already passed since the battle of Pochonbo on June 4, Juche 26(1937).

President Kim Il Sung, recalling that day, wrote in his reminiscences "With the Century" as follows:

"The Battle of Pochonbo demonstrated to the public at home and abroad the revolutionary will and fighting spirit that drove our people to end Japanese imperialist colonial rule and win back national independence and sovereignty. Through this battle the Korean communists were able to demonstrate the staunch anti-imperialist stand and the policy of independence to which they had consistently adhered throughout their entire course of action. They showed their effective combat power and the thoroughgoing way in which they practised what they preached."

Indeed, the flame of Pochonbo kindled by the President was that of revolution which implanted in minds of people the faith of independence and will to win sure victory.

The victory in the battle of Pochonbo brought about by the President became the banner of struggle which roused all the people to struggle to liberate the country.

With the independent faith and will implanted by the President our people turned out for the sacred struggle to annihilate the Japanese imperialists and accomplished the historic cause of national liberation; and defeated the imperialist aggressors headed by the US imperialists who boasted of being the "strongest" in the world; and built the socialist state which is independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defence.

The torch of Pochonbo redoubles the strength and courage of the whole people in today’s historic advance to brave all difficulties and hardships with our own efforts and glorify the great era of our-state-first principle.

The flame of Pochonbo will grow higher in people’s minds continuously while charging unshakable faith and confidence that only victory and honor is always in store on the road of independence and socialism following the great Party Central Committee.
