Noting the history of the WPK is shining with the undying exploits of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il who advanced and perfectly applied the Juche-based idea of building basic party organizations, the reporter said:

The great leaders' idea of prioritizing the primary party committees and guidance over them has been successfully carried forward and developed by supreme leader Kim Jong Un.

The history of the ever-victorious WPK is a sacred history in which the validity and vitality of the Juche-based party-building idea of attaching importance to the basic party organizations have been clearly proven. It also constitutes proud annals in which the primary party committees have remained true to the idea and cause of the WPK by performing feats through a heroic struggle.

In particular, the past five years, during which the era of a new historic turn was opened in accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche, were the days of victory and glory when the role of the primary party committees had been enhanced remarkably and the indomitable spirit and might of the WPK strikingly demonstrated.

The most important success made in the work of the primary party committees is that they have been imbued with the idea of the leader and turned into strong militant ranks that move as one under his guidance.

The primary party committees have enthusiastically mobilized the party members and other working people to the drive for carrying out the revolutionary cause of Juche and the cause of building a socialist power.

All the primary committees of the WPK have been firmly consolidated as the ones strong in faith that remain loyal to the idea and will of the leader only, vanguard ranks of loyalty that make a breakthrough in the van of the drive for upholding the Party policies while linking the leader and the masses with blood ties. The Party takes special pride in this as it is a great victory achieved in accomplishing the cause of building the Juche-based party.

Stressing the need to steadily strengthen the WPK into an indomitable and militant party and further enhance its leadership role in order to speed up the building of a socialist power and successfully accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche by implementing the decision made at the 7th WPK Congress, the reporter said:

What is most important to this end is to strengthen the primary committees, the principal militant units of the Party, in every way and herein lies the reason why the First Conference of Chairpersons of the Primary Committees was convened by the WPK.

At present the WPK requires every primary party organization to meticulously guide the organizational and ideological life of its members and vigorously conduct the drive for implementing the behests of the leaders and upholding the Party's policies so as to accelerate the modeling of the whole Party and society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and make a breakthrough in the all-out offensive for the final victory in the revolutionary cause of Juche.
