Kim Jong Un Makes Concluding Speech at First Conference of Chairpersons of WPK Primary Committees

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, made a concluding speech "On Strengthening the Primary Party Committees" at the 3rd-day meeting of the First Conference of Chairpersons of the Primary Committees of the WPK on Sunday.

He said that the Central Committee of the WPK convened the Conference of Chairpersons of the Primary Party Committees for the first time in its history in keeping with the requirement of the developing revolution and attached importance to the conference as much as to the Party Congress. He referred to some important matters arising in improving and strengthening the work of the primary Party committees in the future.

He underscored the great importance of the position and role of the primary Party committees in further developing the WPK into the great Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist party as required by the new era of the Juche revolution and energetically promoting the building of a powerful socialist country. He went on: 

Only when the primary Party committees are strengthened, is it possible to train all party members as genuine Kimilsungists-Kimjongilists faithful to the idea and leadership of the WPK and develop the Party into a revolutionary party with the invincible might by consolidating its foundation. To strengthen the primary Party committees and increase their militancy now presents itself as a more urgent issue in the struggle to smash the ever-more undisguised and persistent anti-socialist moves of the imperialists and all other hostile forces, carry out the line of modelling the whole Party on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism laid down at the Seventh Congress of the WPK and accomplish the socialist cause of Juche.

The primary Party organizations should consolidate themselves to be the most elite militant ranks in line with the Party Central Committee's intention of attaching importance to them and powerfully mobilize the officials, Party members and other working people to the drive for carrying out the cause of building a powerful socialist country and thus usher in a new heyday in strengthening the primary Party committees.

The basic duty of the primary Party organizations at present is to creditably fulfill their responsibility and role as the main militant sub-unit of the WPK in the struggle for implementing the decision of the Seventh Congress of the WPK under the uplifted banner of modelling the whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

The primary Party organizations should, first of all, satisfactorily perform their mission and duty as a political staff at the relevant units in the drive for implementing the ideas of the Party and upholding its policies.

They should focus their efforts on carrying out the Party's policies and the main revolutionary tasks facing their own sectors and units, in particular.

The primary Party organizations in the field of supply service of the armed forces including the People's Army should conduct the party work in a dynamic and militant manner and make positive contributions to further improving the standard of living of the service personnel. All the primary Party organizations should thoroughly carry out the military tasks facing their units, true to the Party's line of prioritizing military affairs.

If they are to successfully carry out their revolutionary tasks, they should increase the self- development capability to the maximum, considering the mental power of the masses, science and technology and supply service as a main link in the chain efforts.

They should sincerely help and encourage the administrative and economic officials as a party work so that they may creditably perform their duties in carrying out their revolutionary tasks. They should direct big efforts to the internal party work, holding fast to the work to establish the unitary leadership system of the Party as a main line, and thus increase the militancy of the Party and the revolutionary ranks in every way.

Vigilance should be heightened against the enemies' moves to destabilize our society and all sorts of unsound practices disturbing people's mind-set and a struggle be intensified against them. A proper guidance should be given to the work of the working people's organizations so that they may creditably play their role as the transmission belts and peripheral organizations of the Party. Big efforts should be channelled into guiding the work of the Youth League, in particular, so that its organizations may fully demonstrate their might as the advancing group and a wing of the Party in the struggle to implement the decision of the Seventh Congress of the Party.

The main point in the rural ri-Party committees' work at present is to strengthen the base in the socialist rural areas politico-ideologically and attain without fail the goal of agricultural production set by the Party.

For the primary Party committees to creditably discharge the mission and duty they assumed before the Party and the revolution, their chairpersons should decisively enhance their responsibility and role.

Departments of the Party Central Committee and the provincial, city and county Party committees and those Party committees performing similar functions should put main emphasis on the work for strengthening primary Party organizations, true to the Party's idea and policy of prioritizing and strengthening them.

It is necessary to raise a strong wind for decisively combating administrative bureaucratic tendencies in the Party work.

Kim Jong Un appealed to the participants of the conference and the chairpersons of the primary committees of the WPK to devote themselves to the great Party and the great people and to the victory of the sacred cause of the Juche revolution.
