From September 25 to October 19, the DPRK International Solidarity Group (DPRK ISG) held events on the occasion of the Founding Day of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

On September 25, a meeting of the Coordination Committee of the DPRK ISG was held, during which important organizational decisions were made and the procedure for celebrating the founding day of the WPK was approved.

Due to the fact that the respected Comrade Alexander Mostov, Leader of the Solidarity Group, is taking part in the Special Military Operation in Ukraine as a war correspondent, the following organizational decisions have been made:

1. Appoint Vice-Chairman Li Jizhen as Interim Chairman.
2. Appoint Li Jizhen as Head of the Chinese Preparatory Committee; appoint Johannes Wittmund as Head of the German Preparatory Committee; to restore Georgy Abzianidze's membership in the Solidarity Group and appoint him Head of the Russian Preparatory Committee.
3. Transfer the Executive Committee of the Russian Group of Solidarity with the DPRK (Russian SG) to direct subordination.

A. Mostov laid flowers at the work of art depicting the Great Leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, mentally asking for blessings for the fight against US imperialism.

On 1.10 Juche 111 (2022) the first meeting of the German Executive Committee of the DPRK ISG was held.

The meeting started at 5 pm, with the arrival of the staff member of the DPRK Embassy in Berlin.

After a short welcoming speech by Johannes Wittmund, Head of the German Executive Committee, the national anthem of the DPRK, the national anthem of Germany, as well as the anthem of the Workers' Party of Korea were played. This was followed by a round of introductions of each activist and guest.

Next, the embassy staff member gave a speech on the latest developments in his home country and put it in the context of the 77th anniversary of the Korean Workers' Party, which was also the occasion of the meeting. The speech, which gave the activists an extraordinary insight into the perspective of the Korean people, was followed by a discussion round in which questions could be asked about the speech.

The activists took advantage of this to enthusiastically quench their thirst for knowledge about the geopolitical circumstances of the DPRK and its neighboring states.

Afterwards, the Chairman of the International Group for Solidarity with the DPRK, Alexander Mostov, addressed the members of the German Executive Committee and expressed his great pleasure at the progress of the Executive Committee. He also made himself available to answer questions from the activists after his speech.

Finally, the activists delivered their own speeches about the DPRK. With the last speech the meeting of the Executive Committee ended and the activists and guests said goodbye.

Between October 1 and 15, the Executive Committee of the Chinese SG posted on its page a number of materials glorifying the Workers' Party of Korea and the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

On October 19, A. Mostov met with leading Korean scholars of the Russian Academy of Sciences, during which the head of our organization explained the policy of the Workers' Party of Korea on a number of issues.

In particular, the issue of the development of Russian-Korean relations against the background of intensifying attempts to isolate the Russian Federation by the United States and the "collective West" was specifically discussed.

A note on the results of the meeting will be published as a separate piece of news.
