of the Workers’ Party of Korea

As we approach the significant Day of the Sun marking the
centenary of the birth of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung,
we will be holding the Fourth Conference of the Workers’
Party of Korea amid the great expectations and keen interest of
our people and people overseas.
The conference will discuss and decide on acclaiming
General Kim Jong Il as the eternal General Secretary of the
WPK and glorifying forever his revolutionary career and
immortal revolutionary exploits, and will amend the Rules of
the Party accordingly. It will also recall some members of the
central leadership body of the Party and hold an election to fill
the vacancies, which is a regular undertaking at a Party
conference.
We should ensure that the conference serves as an epoch-
making event that establishes an important milestone in holding
up General Kim Jong Il, together with President Kim Il Sung,
as the eternal leader of our Party, and in carrying out the
ideology and cause of the President and the General with credit.
Through the conference, we should clearly demonstrate the
faith, will and moral obligation with which we, the descendants
of the President and the soldiers and devoted followers of the
General, hold them in high esteem and our determination to
carry out their ideology and cause.
We should hold the General up unswervingly as the General
Secretary of our Party.
To hold him in high esteem as the eternal General Secretary
of our Party is, in principle, a demand for consistently holding
fast to his ideology and policies and advancing our
revolutionary cause to victory.
Holding him up as the eternal General Secretary of the
2
WPK can never be a symbolic act. It means having him as the
General Secretary of the Party invariably and conducting Party
building and Party activities in accordance with his ideology
and intentions.
His ideology and policies are the permanent guiding
principles for our Party and revolution and banners of victory,
and their justness and vitality have been proved through our
revolutionary practice. Without them, the victorious advance
and accomplishment of the cause of our revolution would be
inconceivable. If our Party is to lead the Korean revolution
along the road of victory and glory as it did in the past, it
should hold the General in high esteem as its eternal General
Secretary and adhere to strictly and thoroughly implement his
ideology and policies.
To hold him up as the eternal General Secretary of our
Party is natural in view of the immortal exploits he performed
for the times and revolution while leading it for so many years.
The period, during which he developed our Party into the
party of President Kim Il Sung with his unexcelled ideas and
theory and outstanding leadership, spanned more than half a
century. He developed our Party into a revolutionary party in
which the leaders’ ideological and leadership systems are
firmly established, into a motherly party which has formed a
harmonious whole with the masses of the people and serves
them, and into an invincible party with iron discipline and
fighting efficiency, and he demonstrated the dignity and might
of Kim Il Sung’s Korea to the whole world; these constitute
his most distinguished achievements, and they should be
brilliantly etched in the annals of our Party.
It is because our Party is strong and the army and people are
united around it with a single heart that we can continue to
ensure the political stability of the country and carry out all our
2
work without the slightest deviation, even though the supreme
posts of the Party and the state remain vacant after the demise
of the father of the nation. This would be unthinkable apart
from the exploits of the General in leading our Party and
revolution, and it showcases the greatness and eternal vitality
of these exploits. He was an outstanding leader and peerless
veteran statesman who developed the WPK into the organizer
and guide of all our people’s victories and led our revolution
along a road paved with victory.
To hold him in high esteem as the eternal General Secretary
of our Party conforms with the noble ideological feeling and
desire of all Party members and other people, and is natural
from the point of view of moral obligation.
Though he devoted his all throughout his life to the
prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, he
left nothing for himself. He was on the most intensive forced
march, taking not a moment’s rest, until he breathed his last on
a moving train. Such a leader has never been witnessed
anywhere in the world. He lives on as the father of the nation
and General Secretary of our Party in the hearts of our people
and service personnel, who believed in him as in heaven, and
the world’s people recognize this. The benevolent image of him
as the General Secretary of the WPK will always remain in the
hearts of our Party members and other people.
Our officials, including those present here, along with other
Party members, service personnel and people, are all the
General’s soldiers and devoted followers who grew up in his
embrace. It is our natural duty and moral obligation to hold the
man, who brought us up, in high esteem as our eternal leader
and great teacher. Although he was the leader of the Party, the
state and the army, he regarded himself all his life as a
revolutionary soldier of President Kim Il Sung, held the
2
President up as the eternal leader of the Party and the people
and devoted his all to the realization of the latter’s cause. The
General’s noble traits and moral obligation are a paragon which
we should all learn from.
Only when we hold him in high esteem as the eternal
General Secretary of our Party can we brilliantly accomplish
the revolutionary cause of Juche by dynamically pushing
forward the revolution and construction as we did in the past.
The post of General Secretary of the WPK should be occupied
only by General Kim Jong Il, even though one generation is
replaced by another. For this reason, we are going to adopt a
historic decision on acclaiming him as the eternal General
Secretary of our Party, the eternal leader of the Party and
people, and include it in the Rules of the Party at the Party
conference.
Our Party, with him as its eternal General Secretary, can
carry the revolutionary cause of Juche and the revolutionary
cause of Songun to brilliant completion with a solid
organizational and ideological guarantee for leading the
revolution and construction to victory.
We intend to discuss the matter of acclaiming him as the
eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the
DPRK at a session of the Supreme People’s Assembly to be
held following the Party conference.
At the conference we intend to proclaim the WPK as the
glorious party of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
The history of the WPK is the history of the great
revolutionary activities of the President who founded it, as well
as of the General who brilliantly carried forward the President’s
ideology and cause. Our Party’s high prestige, invincible might
and great exploits in the revolution and construction are
associated with the names of the President and the General, and
2
their names will be immortal along with the development of our
Party. The WPK is the party of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il,
who are its eternal leaders.
The guiding ideology of the WPK is the great
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism. It is a glorious Kimilsungist-
Kimjongilist party whose guiding ideology is Kimilsungism-
Kimjongilism and which struggles for its realization.
By energetically conducting ideological and theoretical
activities with unexcelled ideological and theoretical wisdom
and extraordinary ability to explore, the General formulated the
President’s revolutionary ideology as Kimilsungism, and
ensured that it shone more brilliantly as a great ideology
guiding the era of independence. In particular, he developed the
President’s idea of giving priority to arms into the idea of the
Songun revolution and the theory of Songun politics, and
advanced the theory of building a thriving socialist nation, thus
significantly enhancing the attraction and viability of
Kimilsungism and clearly verifying its justness in the
revolutionary practice.
Because the General managed the unique achievement of
developing Kimilsungism as required by the times and the
developing revolution, our Party members and other people
could combine the President’s ideology with the General’s,
calling them Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and recognizing it as
the guiding ideology of our Party. However the General, who
was boundlessly humble, sternly forbade his name from being
associated with the guiding ideology of our Party, saying that
nothing would be seen other than Kimilsungism, no matter to
what extent one delved into Kimjongilism.
Today our Party and revolution demand that Kimilsungism-
Kimjongilism be held fast to as their permanent guiding
ideology.
2
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is an integral system of the
idea, theory and method of Juche, and a great revolutionary
ideology representative of the Juche era. Guided by
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, we should conduct Party building
and Party activities in such a way as to sustain the
revolutionary character of our Party and advance the revolution
and construction in line with the ideas and intentions of the
President and the General.
Imbuing the whole society with Kimilsungism-
Kimjongilism is the highest programme for our Party. It is a
revolutionary inheritance of the imbuing of the whole society
with Kimilsungism and its development onto a new, higher
stage.
Just as we set imbuing the whole society with
Kimilsungism as the highest programme for the Party and
made strenuous efforts to realize it under the wise guidance of
the General, we should, in the future, make more strenuous
efforts to imbue the whole society with Kimilsungism-
Kimjongilism.
We have travelled a road resplendent with brilliant victories
by braving every manner of historical trial, but we still have a
long, arduous revolutionary road to follow. Owing to the
vicious schemes of the imperialists and reactionaries to isolate
and stifle our style of socialism that is centred on the masses of
the people, the situation is as tense as ever, and we are faced
with the grave task of giving fuller play to the advantages and
might of socialism and building a thriving socialist country by
solving in full the problems arising in developing the economy
and improving the people’s living standards.
However difficult and huge our revolutionary task may be,
we are sure to emerge victorious as long as we are with our
outstanding leaders whom we revere as the eternal sun of
2
Juche, are guided by the ever-victorious WPK and are
supported by the people and the invincible revolutionary army
of Mt. Paektu, which are boundlessly faithful to their Party and
leaders.
We should hold the great General in high esteem as the
eternal leader of our Party and people and add lasting brilliance
to his revolutionary career and immortal revolutionary exploits.
He was a great leader, a peerless patriot and the benevolent
father of our people, who devoted his all solely to the country’s
prosperity and the people’s happiness with absolute loyalty to
the President and warm affection for his country and people.
His was the most brilliant life of a peerlessly great man who
performed immortal exploits for the Party and the revolution,
the country and the people, true to the noble intentions of the
President.
We should maintain a pure conscience and a sense of moral
obligation in pushing forward all undertakings that are aimed at
holding the General in high esteem for all eternity and realizing
the cause of immortalizing him.
We should make sure that the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun,
where the President and the General lie in state, shines forever
as the sanctuary of the sun. The palace is the beacon of our
revolution, our permanent psychological mainstay and the
symbol of victory. Our officials, service personnel and people
should make the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun the sanctuary of
the eternal sun, and live and work with the beaming images of
the President and the General always in their minds.
We should staunchly safeguard the General’s ideology and
exploits and solve all the problems that arise in the revolution
and construction true to his ideology and intentions and in the
same way as he did. In his lifetime he specified the tasks to be
tackled by our Party and people in the revolution and
2
construction and the ways they should be implemented. We
should regard his instructions as our guideline and carry them
out unconditionally without any deviation and without any
concession, so as to bring his plans and desires to brilliant
fruition.
We should continuously develop the WPK into the eternal,
glorious party of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
Developing our Party into the eternal party of Kim Il Sung
and Kim Jong Il means holding fast to Kimilsungism-
Kimjongilism as its guiding ideology and promoting its
development and activities in strict accordance with their
ideology and intentions.
What is important in this regard is to establish more firmly
the monolithic leadership system of the Party.
We should make this the major task of Party work, and
work with perseverance to this end to meet the requirements of
the new, higher stage of the development of our Party and
revolution.
All Party members, service personnel and people should
support the Party’s ideology and leadership with faith and
conscience, unite closely behind the Party Central Committee
in ideology, purpose and moral obligation, and share the same
destiny with our Party in ordinary times and when things are
most difficult.
Party organizations should create a revolutionary
atmosphere of implementing the Party’s policies, decisions and
directives unconditionally and to the letter. They should take
proactive steps to establish revolutionary discipline and the
working style of promptly transmitting the Party’s policies,
decisions and directives, making careful arrangements so that
they can be implemented thoroughly and reporting back on the
results promptly.
2
It is important to establish throughout the Party the strict
revolutionary discipline of acting as one under the monolithic
leadership of the Party Central Committee. Party organizations
should analyse and assess the problems that arise in the
revolution and construction from the point of view of the
interests of the revolution and with the attitude that they are
taking responsibility for them before the Party, the state and the
people, report them to the Party Central Committee and deal
with them according to the latter’s decision.
We should continue to direct great efforts to building up the
ranks of cadres.
Cadres are the leading personnel of the revolution and the
backbone of the Party; the development of the Party is decided
by the qualitative composition of the ranks of cadres.
We should radically improve personnel administration and
build up the ranks of cadres with faithful and able persons who
are ready to share the destiny of the Party forever. In personnel
administration, the main emphasis should be put on people’s
ideological preparedness, qualifications and ability. We should
build up the ranks of cadres with those who are promising,
have organizing ability and drive, and never fail to see a task
through to the finish once they are entrusted with it.
We should intensify the ideological education and
organizational activities of cadres and constantly train them
through revolutionary practice so as to ensure that they
discharge their responsibilities and duties as befits the leading
personnel of the revolution.
We should consolidate the Party’s ranks.
We should strictly observe Party principles in increasing
Party membership so as to admit to the Party those who are
politically and ideologically sound, are responsible and
enthusiastic in fulfilling their revolutionary tasks, are upright
2
and honest in their economic and moral lives and enjoy a good
reputation among the masses.
Party organizations should decisively raise the level of the
Party life of its members so that they remain always faithful to
the oath they took before the Party flag, becoming models for
the masses at their posts and playing the vanguard role in
fulfilling their revolutionary tasks.
We should strengthen the single-hearted unity of the Party
and the revolutionary ranks in every way and defend it
completely.
The single-hearted unity is the most valuable revolutionary
heritage bequeathed by the General and the great foundation of
our revolution. Our single-hearted unity, formed by the leader,
the Party and the masses with a great ideology and warm
feelings and affection, is the greatest wealth and cannot be
compared to millions of tons of gold.
We should boundlessly respect the people, regard their
interests as supreme and take care of them with maternal
affection.
True to the noble will of the President and the General, who
regarded “The people are my God” as their motto, we should
regard the people as our God, boundlessly respect them, give
prominence to them and conduct every undertaking with their
demands and interests at the centre. Party organizations, out of
maternal feelings, should always value and love the people,
guarantee their political integrity to the last and help them add
lustre to it. Just as a mother does not abandon an ugly or
mischievous child but is more anxious and concerned about
him or her, so Party organizations should ensure that all the
people are embraced by the Party and feel the General’s
affection. They should not turn their backs on those who make
mistakes while performing their tasks, but embrace them and
2
educate them perseveringly so that they can add lustre to their
life in the ranks of the revolution.
We should ensure that the noble and beautiful moral trait of
helping and leading one another forward prevails throughout
the country so that our society is turned into a large,
harmonious family that is united with a single heart.
A few months ago, Pak Thae Son, a miner at the Kumgol
Mine, and Ri Chang Son, a farmer at the Ohyon Cooperative
Farm, Yonan County, sacrificed their lives without hesitation to
save their comrades. Their heroic deeds greatly moved people.
They can be performed only by people in our era who have
grown up under the care of the President and the General, and
they are an example which all of us should learn from.
Party organizations should ensure that all Party members
and other working people, with a revolutionary view of life,
devote themselves to society, the collective and their comrades,
and thus imbue themselves with the spirit of the era of actively
contributing to the unity and harmony of their collectives. They
should bring into fuller bloom across society the fine traits of
respecting the revolutionary forerunners, holding up the heroes
and people of merit of the era, loving the younger generations
and looking after those people who are in need of society’s
care.
Party organizations should grasp the public sentiment and
ensure that every undertaking is oriented towards and
subordinated to strengthening the single-hearted unity of the
revolutionary ranks.
Single-hearted unity that is separated from the public
sentiment is inconceivable. Party organizations should listen to
the opinions of the people, promptly solve any problems they
raise, and wage a struggle against the practices of slighting or
neglecting the public sentiment. Whenever they are organizing
2
an undertaking or dealing with a matter that is vital to the
people, they should examine whether it is conducive to single-
hearted unity or not, and approach it prudently on the principle
of strengthening that unity.
We should resolutely frustrate the pernicious machinations
of the enemy aimed at undermining our single-hearted unity.
What the enemy fears most is our single-hearted unity; he
persistently resorts to underhand plots to destroy it. With the
enemy resorting to every conceivable scheme to check the
pure-hearted aspiration of our people who follow their Party
and to alienate the Party from them, we should further intensify
the education of the people and, at the same time, wage a
positive struggle to foil the enemy’s moves.
We should hold fast to the Party’s line of the Songun
revolution and increase the country’s all-round military
capabilities.
Songun is our independence, dignity and lifeblood. We
should not forget the bitter lessons of history that our people
learned in the past when they lost their country and were
subjected to the misery of colonial slavery because of their
weak military strength. It is the stark reality of today that if a
country is weak militarily it cannot defend its independence
and its right of survival and will ultimately fall prey to the
imperialists. Therefore, we should make consistent efforts to
increase our military capabilities.
We should continue to direct great efforts to strengthening
the People’s Army. The might of Songun is the might of the
People’s Army, and the key to increasing our military
capabilities is to strengthen the People’s Army.
We should establish throughout the army the leadership
system of the Party, the command system of the Supreme
Commander, and a revolutionary military ethos, thus
2
developing it into the army of the leader, the Party and the
Supreme Commander.
The People’s Army should further consolidate the political,
ideological, military and technological might of our
revolutionary armed forces by vigorously conducting the
movement to win the title of O Jung Hup-led 7 th Regiment,
regarding this as the general task of its political and military
work. By intensifying political and ideological education, it
should prepare all the service personnel to be strong in their
ideology and faith, and to be boundlessly loyal to the Party’s
leadership and ready to risk their lives in fighting for the Party
and the leader, the country and the people.
It should establish an atmosphere of intensive training as
befits the army of Mt. Paektu so as to enhance its combat
efficiency to the maximum, and make sure that all service
personnel maintain constant readiness for battle. The secret
of becoming a-match-for-a-hundred combatants lies in strict
training. In wartime a soldier who is exemplary in battle is a
hero, but in peacetime a soldier who is good at training is a
hero. Service personnel should prepare themselves to be steel-
strong, a-match-for-a-hundred, versatile combatants with
great mental strength, unyielding fortitude and high combat
efficiency and qualifications by training themselves in the
atmosphere of an actual battle. They should always be deeply
aware of their noble mission as defenders of the country, and if
the enemy intrudes by even an inch into the sacred sky, land or
sea of our Republic, they should never forgive him.
The People’s Army, the main force of the revolution,
should always be the standard-bearer and shock brigade not
only in defending the country but also in carrying out the
Party’s plan for building a thriving nation and the advance
2
guard in creating and disseminating the Songun culture of the
new century.
We should provide our service personnel with better living
conditions. The people have entrusted their children to the care
of the Supreme Commander and officers; we should take good
care of their lives, treating them as our own family, true to the
intention of the General who bestowed all his affection on them
as their own father would do.
The work of cementing the great army-people unity should
be further intensified. Holding fast to the slogan “Help the
people!” the People’s Army should play the leading role in
achieving army-people unity by loving and respecting the
people and volunteering to help them. The people should
positively emulate the revolutionary soldier spirit and fighting
mettle of the People’s Army, be wholehearted in their support
for it, and if necessary share the same destiny as the service
personnel in the same trench.
We should put the defence industry on a highly Juche-
oriented, modern and scientific footing, so as to guarantee the
country’s defence capabilities materially and technically.
The history of our defence industry is the history of the
revolutionary activities of President Kim Il Sung and General
Kim Jong Il. The might of the defence industry we have so far
built up under their wise leadership is indeed great.
We should safeguard the imperishable exploits they
performed in developing the defence industry and give priority
to the development of the defence industry in keeping with the
requirements of the line of economic construction in the
Songun era, so as to increase the country’s military capabilities
in every respect. We should further consolidate the self-
supporting character of the defence industry and establish
cutting-edge scientific and technological foundations for it. The
2
workers, scientists and technicians in the defence industry
should develop more state-of-the-art military hardware of our
own style and produce it at the highest qualitative level, thus
further modernizing the military hardware of the People’s
Army.
An atmosphere in which military affairs are given priority
should be created throughout society, and the all-people,
nationwide defence system consolidated so that the whole
country is turned into an impregnable fortress. Members of the
Worker-Peasant Red Guards and Young Red Guards should
make full preparations for defending their homes and villages
and their socialist motherland by intensifying their military
training.
We should make radical progress in improving the people’s
standard of living and building the country into an economic
giant.
To improve the people’s standard of living and boost the
country’s economy is essential in the struggle to translate into
reality the General’s intention to build a thriving country.
The General saw to it that everything was subordinated to
developing the country’s economy and improving the people’s
standard of living, and laid solid foundations for making the
people better off and boosting the country’s economy. We
should ensure that the priceless assets bequeathed by the
General through a painstaking effort fulfil their potential, thus
making our people who have invariably trusted and followed
our Party the happiest in the world. This was the ardent desire
of the General, and is the firm determination and will of our
Party.
We should satisfactorily solve the food problem for the
people.
At present, various steps are being taken to solve the food
2
problem; we should radically increase state investment in
agricultural production and encourage the entire Party, the
whole country and all the service personnel and people to turn
out and carry out to the letter the Party’s policy on the
agricultural revolution. We should conduct farming in a
scientific and technological way so as to increase the per-unit
area yield and thereby meet the target for agricultural
production put forward by the Party without fail, and organize
food procurement and administration to the minutest detail so
as to ensure a regular food supply for the people.
Efforts should be directed to developing light industry in
order to solve the problem of consumer goods. We should take
thorough measures for supplying raw and other materials so
that light-industry factories can maintain regular production;
we should also increase the production of consumer goods and
improve their quality, so that everybody will want commodities
made in our country. In addition, we should see to it that all the
goods we produce are supplied to the people.
Priority should be given to solving the urgent problems
facing the people, such as those of houses, drinking water and
fuel, so that they do not experience any inconvenience in their
lives.
We should make the flames of Hamnam blaze higher and
launch a determined offensive to boost the vanguard sectors of
the national economy, the basic industries, as soon as possible,
thus consolidating the foundations for economic development
and bringing about a great upsurge in production in all sectors
of the national economy.
The electric-power, coal-mining and metallurgical
industries and rail transport sector should be given precedence;
only then can the national economy be given a boost and the
people’s standard of living stabilized and improved.
2
By channelling major efforts into the vanguard sectors of
the national economy, the electric-power industry in particular,
we can radically increase power production, make the most of
the electric power we generate to develop the country’s overall
economy and improve the people’s living standards, and
strengthen the control over its use. We should bear in mind the
will and intention of the General who visited the construction
site of the Huichon Power Station several times a year to ease
the power shortage, and decisively boost the electric-power
industry.
We should thoroughly implement our Party’s grand strategy
for achieving prosperity by giving definite precedence to the
vanguard sectors and bringing about a great upsurge in
production in all sectors and units of the national economy.
Amid the flames of the industrial revolution in the new
century, we should build our country into one with a
knowledge-based economy.
It is the world trend to put the economy on a knowledge
basis, and we are faced with the epochal task of transforming
our national economy into one that develops by dint of
knowledge.
We should struggle with a high aim and ideal, true to the
intention of the General to keep our feet firmly planted on our
land and look out over the rest of the world, and beat the world
in all aspects. By vigorously waging a drive to achieve a
cutting edge with the same pioneering spirit and creative
attitude displayed by the developers of the Ryonha machine
tools in producing the latest CNC machine tools, we should
raise the overall standard of our technical equipment to the
world level and perfect our economic structure as required in
the era of the knowledge economy.
We should create an atmosphere in which definite
2
precedence is given to science and technology, they are brought
closer to production, and all the problems that arise in economic
construction are solved by relying on science and technology; by
so doing, we should guarantee the economic development of the
country by means of science and technology.
We should direct efforts to land management so as to turn
our country into a people’s paradise which is more beautiful
and better to live in.
Land management is a patriotic undertaking of everlasting
significance for the prosperity of our country, our motherland,
and for the well-being of all the generations to come. The
whole Party, the whole country, the entire army and all the
people should turn out and plant trees so that the whole land is
thickly covered with forests in the coming few years. Along
with this, they should turn the country into a socialist paradise
by bringing about a decisive turn in land management,
including the improvement of the rivers and roads, and urban
management.
In order to bring about a revolutionary turn in improving
the people’s living standards and building an economic giant,
we should establish rigid discipline whereby all the problems
that arise in economic work are brought to the Cabinet and
solved according to its coordinated command.
As the headquarters in charge of the country’s economy, the
Cabinet should work out economic development targets and
strategy on a scientific and realistic basis and in a far-sighted
manner, and positively push forward its supervision and
guidance of overall economic work in a unified manner.
All sectors and units should solve the problems in economic
work after consulting the Cabinet, and carry out to the letter its
decisions and directives aimed at implementing the Party’s
economic policies.
2
Party committees at all levels should wage a struggle against
any practices which hinder the strengthening of the Cabinet
responsibility system, the Cabinet-centred system, and fully
support the Cabinet and other administrative and economic organs
at various levels, so that they can satisfactorily discharge their duty
and role as masters and executors of economic work.
Efforts should be focused on holding fast to socialist
principles in economic work and enhancing the sense of
responsibility and role of the working people, who carry out
production and construction, so as to increase production to the
maximum.
We should also effect an uninterrupted revolutionary
upsurge in all fields of cultural construction, including
education, public health, literature and the arts, and sports, so
as to add lustre to our country as a cultured socialist country.
By increasing state investment in education, putting
education on a modern basis, radically improving the level of
general secondary education and intensifying university
education, we can train in larger numbers world-class scientific
and technological personnel who will shoulder the building of a
thriving socialist country. We should give full play to the
advantages of our country’s socialist healthcare system, create
and disseminate greater numbers of excellent literary and
artistic works of the times, make sports mass-based and create
a wave of enthusiasm for sports across the country. In this way,
we should ensure that our people become creators and enjoyers
of socialist culture that is noble and civilized, and the whole
society brims over with joy and optimism.
In order to bring about a decisive turn in the building of a
thriving socialist country as was the intention and desire of
General Kim Jong Il, we should, first of all, enhance the
militant function and role of Party organizations.
2
Party organizations are the political staff of the units
concerned, and their basic task is to enlist officials, Party
members and other working people in carrying out the Party’s
lines and policies without fail. Success in the work of each
sector and unit depends entirely on how its Party organization
performs its function and role.
Party organizations should thoroughly implement the ideas
and lines of the General by firmly establishing policy-oriented
principles and conducting energetic political and organizational
work. They should conduct a profound study of the General’s
intentions and plans, the tasks facing their respective units to
materialize them and the ways of implementing them, arrange
their work in a scrupulous manner, organize Party guidance
over administrative and economic work to the last detail and
rouse officials and the broad sections of the masses of the
people to carrying out the General’s instructions.
Party organizations should intensify Party guidance over the
law-enforcement organs, such as the judicial, procuratorial and
people’s security organs.
The effort to build a thriving socialist country is
accompanied by a serious class struggle to eliminate everything
that is hostile and non-socialist. Party organizations should
ensure that law-enforcement organs discharge their sacred
mission and duty by staunchly safeguarding the socialist
system and the gains of the revolution and reliably defending
the people’s lives, property and security.
Party organizations should intensify Party guidance over the
working people’s organizations to ensure that all these
organizations and their members turn out as one in the on-
going general march.
True to the Party’s idea of focusing on young people, Party
organizations should give prominence to young people and

always pay close attention to working with them. They should
lead the youth league organizations to glorify the immortal
exploits performed by the President and the General for the
youth movement of Korea and step up the education of their
members so that our revolution can be steadily carried forward
through the generations. Young people should always advance
straight forward following the Party; a prosperous tomorrow
will be achieved earlier by our young people taking vigorous
steps.
Party organizations should give proper Party guidance to
trade union and union of agricultural workers organizations so
that our trustworthy working class and agricultural working
people fulfil their duties as the masters of factories and farms
and production workers.
Our women constitute a powerful force that pushes ahead
one of the two wheels of the revolution. Party organizations
should provide effective Party guidance to the women’s union
organizations so as to ensure that women fully discharge their
duties for the prosperity of the country and the harmony and
happiness of society and their families and continue to exalt
their honour as the flowers of the era.
Next, officials should perform to the full their responsibility
and role as the leading personnel of the revolution.
Officials must defend the Party’s policies and lines unto
death, standing in the vanguard, and rouse the masses to
implementing them, and they must also organize and direct
today’s general onward march.
Officials should perform their work in a revolutionary way,
on the standpoint that they are entirely responsible for the work
in their respective sectors and units. In particular, senior
officials should work with a firm determination to prove
themselves worthy of the love and trust of the Party and people
2
that have brought them up and raised them to prominence.
They should become as honest and able as Kim Chaek, who
performed with credit any task however difficult it was, in
support of Kim Il Sung.
Officials should work with a creative and enterprising
attitude and style. They should plan and organize their work
with a far-reaching target and ideals, and be pioneers and
forerunners in creating and introducing new things. They
should also be men of action who carry any undertaking
through to completion once they set about doing it. All officials
should be resolute in doing away with the outdated ideological
viewpoints and backward methods and styles of work. The
position our officials should occupy today is in the vanguard of
the ranks; they should be the point-men in blazing the trail and
an engine propelling the masses forward.
They should devote their all to the people. The people do
not exist for the sake of officials, but officials exist for the sake
of the people.
By learning from the President’s and the General’s view of
the people, all officials should go among the people, sharing
good times and bad with them, and make tireless efforts for
their good. They should always put the people first in their
consideration, direct primary concern to their livelihood,
always think and work sincerely to solve the problems in their
lives and do more for their benefit. They should be true
servants of the people who know nothing other than working
for the people, are faithful and effective in undertaking it and
find pleasure and pride in the efforts they make for them.
By implementing the intentions and instructions of the
President and the General, we should accomplish the historic
cause of national reunification without fail. And true to their
strategy and plan for our external activities, we should
2
proactively contribute to achieving the cause of global
independence.
Keeping in mind that the President and the General are
always with us and are encouraging us, we should redouble our
efforts to realize their plans and desires with credit and glorify
the new century of the Juche revolution as an era of victory and
glory.
For the present, when we are about to hold the Party
conference and various other events to celebrate the centenary
of the birth of the President, we should scrupulously organize
the work to ensure that they are a success. In addition, we
should pay close attention to ensuring that our people enjoy
themselves on the Day of the Sun in a meaningful way, and
make detailed arrangements for it.
