Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Worker's Party of Korea, today met and conversed with the delegation of the Worker's World Party of the United States headed by Brian Becker, member of its secretariat.
At the meeting the head of the delegation said that the Korean people are firmly defending socialism despite the continued isolation and suffocation moves of the imperialists, adding this is attributable to the tested leadership of the WPK led by General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
He noted that his party would continue to wage a vigorous struggle for the pullback of the U.S. forces from South Korea and intensify the movement for solidarity with the WPK.
