Labour Party of Chile
Dear Comrades,
The Labour Party of Chile extends its fraternal, revolutionary, and internationalist greetings to the organizers and participants of the International Scientific Conference “The 73rd Anniversary of the Victory in the Korean War: Lessons of History and Resistance to U.S. Imperialism at the Present Stage.” We express our appreciation to the DPRK International Solidarity Group (DPRK ISG), the Russian Society for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK, the World Anti-imperialist Platform, the International Association of Peace Foundations (IAPF), and the Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the Russian Federation for making this important initiative possible.
As we commemorate another anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the Fatherland Liberation War, we pay tribute to the soldiers of the Korean People’s Army, the internationalist volunteers, and the heroic people of the DPRK, who confronted and defeated the military aggression led by U.S. imperialism and its allies. That victory constitutes one of the most significant defeats suffered by imperialism in the twentieth century and demonstrated that no military power can subjugate a people determined to defend their independence, sovereignty, and right to build their own future.
The historical experience of Korea remains fully relevant today. At a time when imperialism seeks to preserve its declining hegemony through wars, blockades, economic sanctions, destabilization operations, and propaganda campaigns against peoples defending their sovereignty, the resistance of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea represents an example of revolutionary steadfastness, national independence, and dignity in the face of the constant threats posed by international monopoly capitalism.
From Chile, we reaffirm our conviction that the anti-imperialist struggle is inseparable from the struggle for sovereignty. Imperialism constitutes the highest and most aggressive stage of capitalism, characterized by the domination of monopolies, finance capital, and the powers that seek to subjugate nations through economic exploitation and military violence. Therefore, the defense of national sovereignty also requires confronting the structures of dependent capitalism and advancing toward a society founded upon social justice, economic planning, and the power of the working class.
The peoples of the world face a common enemy. The aggression against the DPRK forms part of the same imperialist policy that has spread wars, coups d’état, criminal blockades, and economic plunder throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. In the face of this offensive, the response must be greater unity among revolutionary forces, national liberation movements, and all organizations committed to building an international order based on the self-determination of peoples and the end of imperialist domination.
We especially welcome the strengthening of international cooperation among anti-imperialist organizations and express our solidarity with the Korean people and the leadership of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in their steadfast defense of national independence, peace, and socialism.
The Labour Party of Chile reaffirms its commitment to continue strengthening the bonds of internationalist solidarity with all peoples resisting imperialist aggression and struggling for their emancipation. We are convinced that organization, political consciousness, and the unity of revolutionary forces will make it possible to build a world free from exploitation, colonialism, and imperial domination.
Please accept our most fraternal revolutionary greetings and our best wishes for the complete success of this important international conference.
Eternal glory to the heroic victory of the Korean people!
Down with U.S. imperialism and every form of imperialist domination!
Long live the international solidarity of the peoples!
Long live the struggle of the peoples for socialism, sovereignty, and national liberation!
