The Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) greets its 76th anniversary on October 10, 2021.

The history of the WPK is that of struggle for the Korean people’s dignity, destiny and happiness.

With the founding of the WPK by Kim Il Sung, Eternal President of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Korean people could have the General Staff of the revolution that leads them to shape their destiny in an independent and creative way.

Kim Jong Il, Eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, conducted energetic ideological and theoretical activities and wisely led the WPK to develop into a revolutionary party of Juche in which the leaders’ ideological and leadership systems are firmly established, into a motherly party which has formed a harmonious whole with the masses of the people, and serves them and enjoys their absolute support and trust.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who adds brilliance to the idea of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il on Party building and their achievements, further strengthens the WPK into a party that thoroughly applies the people-first principle to its work.

Under the leadership of the WPK, the Korean people are marching vigorously toward a bright future in which all their dreams and ideals are realized.
