8 to join with us in conveying to him wholehearted greetings on the occasion of his 73rd birthday which will be celebrated in a few weeks' time. The experience of the Sovet Union and the People's Republic of China, and of the international communist movement generally, shows that the question of succeeding the revolutionary cause of the leader is a complex and difficult one. We therefore share the joy of the Korean people in their having the dear leader Comrade Kim Jong Il as the successor to the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il has inherited all the revolutionary qualities of the great leader, and has developed and systematised his ideas, defining them as Kimilsungism. It is therefore only natural that the Korean Party and people should unanimously acclaim him as the genuine successor to the great leader. We send wholehearted and sincere greetings to the dear leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, who is wisely leading the Korean people to advance at the 'speed of the '80s' in all fields of socialist construction, holding the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung in boundless esteem forever. Today has been an historic occasion when the banner of the Juche Idea, the banner of the Age of Independence, has been raised in London, the heart of the old and dying world. This is but a first step in our continuing work to hold high the banner of the New World, and to join the revolutionary struggle of the peoples of the world who are fighting against imperialism and for independence. I would like to thank all those comrades, particularly those present, who have given us help and encouragement in the organising of this Seminar. Special thanks must go to our Korean comrades in Pyongyang and in Paris who have provided us with a great deal of inspiration. Were it not for the reactionary and obdurate stand of the Thatcher government in denying visas to citizens of socialist Korea, we are sure that they would have been present with us today. The Juche Idea means solidarity with the world revolution. As the dear leader Comrade Kim Jong Il says, "All countries, all nations, and peoples the world over that advocate Chajusong, must struggle jointly in close unity under the revolutionary banner of anti-imperialism and independence." Today, on this occasion, I pledge on behalf of Mosquito Press that we will always be on the same side together with all the peoples fighting against imperialism and dominationism, particularly those fighting against British imperialism. No matter what storms may arise in the world, we will always be on the side of the brave Korean people who daily face the nuclear war threat from US imperialism and its followers. LONG LIVE THE GREAT LEADER COMRADE KIM IL SUNG! LONG LIVE THE DEAR LEADER COMRADE KIM JONG IL! LONG LIVE THE IMMORTAL JUCHE IDEA! ALL PEACE-LOVING PEOPLES OF THE WORLD WHO ADVOCATE CHAJUSONG, UNITE TO BURY IMPERIALISM FOREVER!
