The Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea said this in a joint statement on September 2 to mark the 69th founding anniversary of the DPRK.

The statement said that the founding of the DPRK by President Kim Il Sung on September 9, 1948 was a very important historic event for the Korean people.

The founding of the DPRK made it possible for Korean people to have the genuine people's country.

Socialism built by the President in Korea, guided by the Juche idea, had been brilliantly developed under the leadership of HE Kim Jong Il.

Korean socialism a is victoriously advancing under the Songun leadership of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who is carrying forward the idea and exploits of the preceding leaders.

The DPRK in which the entire army and people are united close around the leader is demonstrating its dignity as a nuclear power of Juche and the world military power.

The U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces do not dare provoke the DPRK with single-minded unity and tremendous military power.
