One hardly knows the detailed struggle and merits of the nuclear developers, but our Party carefully considers their blood, sweat and heroic exploits deep in the ground and most highly praises them, the speaker said, and went on:

There are not a few people engaged in the national defence in the world, but only our nuclear developers lead a worthy life with the greatest glory and happiness under the particular love and care of the leader.

Our H-bomb with super explosive power is certainly the H-bomb of Kim Jong Un produced by his ardent love for the country and the people and the thermonuclear bomb of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Our Party is designing the bright tomorrow of a socialist power in firm reliance on the defence scientists boundlessly faithful to the country and revolution, the speaker said, stressing the need for the nuclear developers to fully equip themselves with the spirit of defending the Party Central Committee unto death, more dynamically conduct the campaign of the final stage for completing the state nuclear force and thus fill the arsenal of the Supreme Command with the world strongest nuclear warheads capable of totally contain the enemy.
