Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- Saber Ballul, head of Department of the Political Faculty of University of Damascus of Syria, released a statement on Oct. 3 on the occasion of the 69th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

The statement said:

Since its foundation, the WPK has developed into a great revolutionary party and a popular party trusted and respected by the popular masses.

The WPK has conducted all its activities with the Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung and enriched by leader Kim Jong Il as its guiding idea.

At the end of the last century when the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in East Europe collapsed, the WPK remained unfazed, preserved its ideology and line and firmly defended socialism.

The DPRK has protected socialism and dynamically stepped up the building of a thriving nation, united close around Kim Jong Il, not yielding to the worst adversity,

The WPK will always emerge victorious under the uplifted banner of socialism as there is Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the WPK, who has successfully carried forward the ideology and cause of the President and Kim Jong Il.
