A decision adopted at the congress on November 16 said that the DPRK has been exposed to severe blockade and economic sanctions by the imperialists for many years. It went on:

Of late the WPK adopted an important decision for more dynamically pushing forward socialist construction and laid down the task for developing science and technology of the country to step up the industrial revolution in the new century and decisively improve the people's living standard.

Today the grave situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. introduced a lot of nukes into south Korea and has yet stationed tens of thousands of troops there.

The peninsula is in constant danger of war due to the imperialists' sanctions and pressure against the DPRK and the ceaseless U.S.-south Korea joint military drills.

The Brazilian Communist Party expresses support and solidarity for the WPK and the Korean people in their struggle for defending the national sovereignty and achieving the country's peaceful reunification.
