Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) — It has been 90 years since the Nanhutou Meeting, recorded in the history of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle as a significant meeting that provided a turning point in the Korean revolution.
In the mid-1930s, the Japanese imperialists further intensified their fascist suppression and plunder in Korea while preparing for a war of continental aggression. They pursued the policy of “making Koreans Japanese subjects” more coercively to obliterate the Korean people’s consciousness of independence.
Against this backdrop, President Kim Il Sung organized a meeting of military and political cadres of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army in Nanhutou from February 27 to March 3, 1936.
At the meeting he clarified the important tasks facing the Korean revolutionaries and set forth the policy of moving the main force of the KPRA to the border areas and the area of Mt Paektu and gradually extending the theatre of struggle into the homeland and the policy of actively stepping up the preparations for founding a party.
The policies, set forth at the meeting, served as a militant banner that indicated the way for bringing about a great upsurge in the Korean revolution, as required by the prevailing situation and the developing revolution, and a Juche-oriented programme of struggle that clarified the revolutionary way for accomplishing the historic cause of national liberation at an early date by the efforts of Koreans.
The Nanhutou meeting was the one that fully established Juche for the first time in the history of the Korean revolution. Herein lie the historical position and significance of this meeting.
With the meeting as a watershed, the Korean revolution came to greet a new period of upsurge.
The banner of Juche, held high by Kim Il Sung at the Nanhutou meeting, served as the driving force that enabled the Korean revolutionaries to firmly maintain the Juche-oriented stand and victoriously advance the revolution and construction not only in the period of the anti-Japanese armed struggle but also in the annals of the Korean revolution.
