Solidarity Message
Dear friends and comrades,
With South Korean working class, we send a comradely greeting for your NPA Founding Congress. We appreciate your efforts and commitment to build an anti-capitalist party. We hope this congress will be successful, and a new step forward building a mass party for anti-capitalist struggle and the 21st century socialism.
Here in Korea, we are in a similar process for building a socialist workers’ party. In the course of international solidarity activities and exchanges of experience, we hope we will build a global movement against the crisis-ridden capitalism, and for the 21st century socialism.
Viva International Working Class and their Struggle for Socialism!
Viva Internationalism!
Comradely regards,
Yang, Kyu Heon
