Pyongyang, November 9 (KCNA) -- November 10 marks the 74th anniversary of the publication of President Kim Il Sung's famous work "The Tasks of Korean Communists".

The work, written by the President in the autumn of Juche 26 (1937) when he was leading the main unit of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA) to carry out a harassment operation behind the enemy line, was published in Sogwang, the KPRA organ.

The situation was very complicated and acute at that time.

The Japanese imperialists, after unleashing the Sino-Japanese war, occupied a large part of China, steadily expanding the front, harshly suppressing the Korean people and escalating the "punitive" offensive against the KPRA.

Fearful of the grave situation, national reformists and leftist and rightist opportunists openly took a way of joining hands with the Japanese imperialists.

In order to cope with it, it was important to prepare the Korean communists and KPRA members politically and ideologically to continue staunchly fighting with an independent stand.

In the work, the President described the Japanese imperialists' frantic policy of war and fascist repression as their last-ditch effort, not a token of their mightiness.

As immediate tasks for the Korean communists, the work called on them to strengthen the anti-Japanese armed struggle to achieve national liberation.

It also called for invigorating the movement of the anti-Japanese national united front to ensure superiority of the revolutionary forces to the counterrevolutionary forces, strengthen solidarity with international revolutionary forces and make preparations for founding a working-class party.

The work was of great importance in bringing about an upswing in the overall Korean revolution based on the anti-Japanese armed struggle.
