Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), made a closing address at the Eighth Congress of WPK.
The following is the
full text of the closing address:
Dear delegates,
The Eighth Congress of
the Workers' Party of Korea that has been held in a very crucial period in the
course of the strengthening and development of our Party and the building of
socialism of our style has made a full discussion of and decision on all items
on the agenda thanks to the high enthusiasm of all the delegates and is to wrap
up its work.
In the whole period of
the congress all the delegates have taken part in all sincerity in the
discussion of issues with the highest degree of Party consciousness and the
highest sense of responsibility, positively offered their constructive opinions
and reached a consensus in their opinions, thereby giving full play to the
militant features of our Party that works, fights and advances.
There have been many
important Party-wide political meetings including congress so far and the
participants have shown immense enthusiasm every time as they received the
policies and ideas of the Party Central Committee, but I see for the first time
such an extraordinary zeal for participation as in the Eighth Party Congress,
in which all the participants are so interested and immersed in the discussion
of issues.
Every delegate made a
positive and serious study of all issues discussed as they racked their brains
and felt anxious over the issues by combining them with the success and failure
of our revolutionary work and the destiny of themselves and their children and
enthusiastically participated in the strenuous work of the congress.
Always conscious of the
expectations and hopeful gaze of millions of our Party members and tens of
millions of other people who watched the congress and assuming heavy
responsibility together for the progress and development of the revolutionary
work, all the delegates have devoted all their mind to deciding on the most
correct and powerful orientation of our struggle and the strategy and tactics.
I feel deeply impressed and greatly encouraged by this, and I feel very
grateful for this.
The revolutionary line
and immediate fighting plans set by the Eighth Party Congress will instil a
great hope in all the Party members and other people for our future, inspire
the masses of the people to a new struggle and exploits and bring about a
decisive turn in further strengthening our Party organizationally and
ideologically and improving its capability of leadership in overall revolution
and construction.
Dear delegates,
The current Eighth
Party Congress has powerfully demonstrated once again the might of unity and
revolutionary passion peculiar to our Party and people, who firmly unite with a
single ideology and purpose and make an uninterrupted advance and leap forward
towards a new target of struggle even in the face of manifold challenges and
ordeals.
All the Party members,
service personnel and other people have strived hard at their workplaces and
posts so as to defend the Eighth Party Congress and expressed their
enthusiastic support and expectations for the Party congress by dint of their
unprecedented successful work results.
In the name of the
congress, I extend warm thanks to all the Party members and other people and
service personnel for displaying boundless devotion and the revolutionary
spirit as they maintained high alert to ensure the success of the Eighth Party
Congress.
Dear delegates,
The Eighth Congress of
the WPK served as a congress of struggle and progress, which demonstrated the
steadfast will of the revolutionaries to achieve the prosperity and development
of our style of socialism without fail, with self-confidence in victory and
courage and by invariably holding aloft the banner of great
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.
The congress made a
close analysis of the subtle changes in the situations at home and abroad and
the subjective and objective environment they influence our revolution, and
correctly reviewed the work of the last five years. Accordingly, based on the
new environment and revolutionary situation, it put forward scientific and
correct strategic and tactical policies for readjusting and developing the
foundations of the national economy and consolidating the state and social
system, thereby clearly indicating the direction of advance of the overall work
of the Party and the state.
I am convinced that
this has provided a fresh motive force for our advance and set up a clear
milestone and, therefore, this congress marked a turning point in powerfully
propelling our sacred cause.
The Eighth Congress of
our Party is of great significance also in the strengthening and development of
the Party.
Having gone through
another great process in the course of strengthening and developing our Party,
we are now filled with self-confidence and pride in our struggle more than ever
before, and deeply feel once again the importance of the responsibility we have
shouldered for ourselves.
The decisions of a
Party congress are our Party's strategy and tactics for achieving a fresh
victory in the building of our style of socialism, a pledge the Workers' Party
of Korea makes for the revolution and people and, at the same time, a supreme
order our great people give to the Party Central Committee.
Our Party members and
delegates to this congress should approach the decisions of the Party congress
from such a noble standpoint and accept it seriously and with honour.
The future of the
socialist cause hinges on how the tasks set by this Party congress, including
the five-year plan for national economic development, is fulfilled.
We should thoroughly
carry out the highly important tasks set by the Party congress without
condition so as to bring about another upsurge in our revolution and provide
our people with better and more stable living conditions and environment as
early as possible.
We should arrange the
study involving the whole Party for implementing the decisions of the Party
congress so as to thoroughly accept the tasks and duties of struggle fixed by
the Party congress, and wage a determined struggle so as to develop socialist
construction onto a new stage.
Therefore, Party
organizations at all levels should organize intensive studies for firmly arming
the people with the documents and decisions of the Party congress, effectively
hold discussions and conduct organizational and political work for implementing
them, and work out elaborate tactics and wage a powerful struggle to implement
the decisions of the Party congress.
They should first
galvanize Party members into action so as to make them lead others to new
miraculous feats through their pacesetter role and make all the units and the
whole country seethe with the efforts for implementing the decisions of the
Party congress.
It is needed to
organize the Party-wide study on the newly-revised Party Rules, and Party
organizations and members should thoroughly establish a climate of observing
the norms stipulated in Party Rules in every process and on every occasion of
Party work and life.
Dear delegates,
Innumerable trials and
difficulties are still challenging us, but our determination is definite and
our future is promising.
As in the past, so in
the future, our Party will remain infinitely faithful to the people-first
principle and do its best to continue to achieve fresh victory in socialist
construction.
As the WPK holding
aloft the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as its ever-victorious banner is
correctly leading the revolution and construction and there is the invincible
might of the single-hearted unity of the Party and the masses, our revolution
will make steady progress, overcoming every manner of difficulties.
Let us all advance
dynamically towards a fresh victory of the revolution with strong confidence in
the victory of the socialist cause, the revolutionary cause of Juche, and
rallying rock-solid around the Party Central Committee.
Fully convinced that,
thanks to the great fighting efficiency, power of unity, extraordinary
patriotic enthusiasm and indomitable perseverance of the organizations and
members of the entire Party, all other people and service personnel, the
strategy and policies of struggle put forward by this congress will
successfully be carried out and epoch-making progress will be achieved in the
building of our own style of socialism, I declare the Eighth Congress of the
Workers' Party of Korea closed.
