The '''Pyongyang Declaration''', officially titled '''Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism''', was a statement signed by a number of [[political parties]] on 20 April 1992 that calls for the unity of the socialist camp and a vow to safeguard [[socialism]]. Representatives of 70 [[Communist party|communist]] and [[Socialist party|socialist parties]] from 51 countries arrived in [[Pyongyang]], [[North Korea]], to [[Day of the Sun|celebrate]] [[Kim Il-sung Sung]]'s 80th birthday.{{sfn|''A Handbook on North Korea''|1998|p=97}} While there, the delegates had many bilateral and multilateral contacts with each other and decided to issue a declaration reiterating their commitment to socialism in spite of the [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|collapse of the USSR]] and a [[Fall of Communism|number of other communist regimes]] in recent years. On 20 April, the declaration was signed by delegates of 69 parties, including 48 party leaders.<ref name=original/>

Line 13:
Socialism suffered a setback in some countries in recent years. As a consequence of this, the imperialists and reactionaries are claiming that socialism has ‘come to an end’. This is nothing but a sophistry to beautify and embellish capitalism and patronise the old order.
 
The setback of socialism and the revival of capitalism in some countries is causing a great loss to the achievement of the socialist cause, but it can never be interpreted as the denial of the superiority of socialism and of the reactionary character orof capitalism.
 
Socialism has long been the ideal of mankind and it represents the future of mankind.
