President Kim Il Sung wrote in his reminiscences With the Century that in the history of the Workers’ Party of Korea the DIU (Down-with-Imperialism Union) is recognized as the root of the Party, and the formation of the DIU as a starting-point, the genesis of the Korean communist movement and the Korean revolution.

From this root came the programme of the WPK, the principles for the Party building and activities and the backbone for its foundation. With the formation of the DIU the Korean revolution made a new progress on the basis of the principle of independence.

The Down-with-Imperialism Union!

Thanks to the DIU, the strong root, the WPK could record a glorious history of invincibility with unlimited viability for several decades.

As it has consistently held fast to the principle of independence put forward by the DIU, the WPK’s lines and policies have been always correct and it has won a brilliant victory.

The DIU’s spirit is inherited through generations.

The WPK, whose historic root is from the DIU, is consolidated into a powerful revolutionary party day by day like a big tree which is not moved by any wild storm but stands unyieldingly under the wise leadership of the peerlessly great persons.
