Pyongyang,
June 24 (KCNA) -- Now all the Party members and the whole society of the DPRK
are waging a gigantic struggle to bring about an epoch-making phase in the
course of development of Korean-style socialism by boldly braving stern trials
and challenges with faith in sure victory and iron will, true to the idea and
decisions of the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Workers' Party of Korea (WPK)
Central Committee.
At
this stirring time, the 3rd Enlarged Meeting of the 8th Central Military
Commission of the WPK was held at the office building of the WPK Central
Committee from June 21 to 23 to review the overall military and political
activities of the Korean People's Army (KPA), the revolutionary armed forces of
the Party, and determine its important and heavy duty for the times and
history.
Kim
Jong Un, general secretary of the WPK, chairman of the Central Military
Commission of the WPK and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, guided the meeting.
Attending
it were Vice-Chairman Pak Jong Chon and members of the WPK Central Military
Commission.
Present
as observers were officials of relevant departments of the WPK Central
Committee, members of the executive committee of the KPA Committee of the WPK,
commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence and military and
political commanding officers of the KPA large combined units.
The
meeting decided to increase the number of vice-chairmanship of the WPK Central
Military Commission after examining a proposal for it, and elected Ri Pyong
Chol, secretary of the WPK Central Committee, as vice- chairman of the Party
Central Military Commission.
Placed
on its agenda were the crucial issues arising in rapidly bolstering the
national defence capabilities to put them on the level appropriate to a new
stage of the developing revolution by thoroughly implementing the military line
and key defence policies of the Party.
The
WPK Central Military Commission analyzed its work system and order and the
performance of the military commissions of the provincial, city and county
Party committees, discussed the important issues of enhancing the function and
role of the military commissions at all levels as required by Party building
and the principles specified in the Party rules, and adopted a relevant
decision with unanimous approval.
The
meeting also reviewed the work of the Ministry of National Defence, the KPA
General Staff, the KPA Committee of the WPK and the KPA General Political
Bureau and the military and political activities of the commanding officers and
staff of the KPA units at all levels and the Party political organizations of
the armed forces organs in the first half of the year 2022.
The
WPK Central Military Commission confirmed the issue of further strengthening
the Party's guidance on the overall armed forces of the Republic in an
all-round way and of bringing about a radical turn in training the army to be
strong in ideology and faith by letting the entire army hold fast to the
Party's army-building orientation and general line. It also confirmed the
strategic and tactical tasks for pushing ahead with the development of the KPA
into the one strong in military technology and the immediate duties for
building up national defence, and decided on the organizational and political
measures to ensure the thorough execution of the defence policy of the WPK.
Guided
by the vice-chairmen of the Central Military Commission of the WPK, the meeting
additionally confirmed the operation duties of the KPA frontline units, had an
in-depth study and discussion on the military measures for enhancing the
capabilities of carrying out operations, modified operation plans and reported
their results to the WPK Central Military Commission.
After
hearing the results of study and discussion and the preparation of an important
document, the WPK Central Military Commission decided to supplement the
operation duties of KPA frontline units with an important military action plan.
It also examined and approved an important issue of providing a military guarantee
for further strengthening the country's war deterrent, true to the strategic
plan of the Party Central Committee, and ratified the plan for reorganization
of military organizational formations.
The
meeting emphasized the tasks for different sectors to carry through the Party's
revolutionary army-building line and strategic policy and clarified all the
principles to be adhered to in the overall work for national defence.
Guiding
the meeting, the respected General Secretary said that today's struggle, in which
the stern trials facing the revolution should be braved with a strong will and
resolute decision, essentially calls for surely maintaining and constantly
improving the absolute power and the military and technical edge of the KPA,
the strong bulwark for defending the revolution and the country.
He
stressed the need for the entire army to go all out for implementing the
army-building idea and military strategic plan of the Party Central Committee,
occasioned by the enlarged meeting that set forth the clear-cut practical
action guidelines for bolstering the military muscle, and consolidate in every
way the powerful self-defence capabilities for overwhelming any hostile forces
and thus reliably protect the dignity of the great country and the security of
its great people.
Then he made a conclusion on the important
principles to be adhered to in all military and political activities of the
KPA.
The
meeting, convened at a very important time in the advance of the Korean
revolution, will be significantly recorded in the history of the WPK's struggle
as a historic discussion of great significance in further intensifying the
Party's guidance on the military affairs and drastically increasing the
fighting efficiency of the revolutionary army, true to the outstanding army-
building idea and strategic plan of the Party Central Committee
