Immortal Exploits in Party Founding

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 9 (KCNA) -- October 10 is the 58th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea. On this auspicious occasion, the entire Korean people are looking back on the immortal feats performed by President Kim Il Sung in founding the WPK, the organizer and guide of all the victories, and expressing deep thanks to him.
    The President stood in the van of the Korean revolution in the darkest period when Korea was under the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule. He, with a plan to found a Juche-type party, organized the Down-with Imperialism Union, a historic root of the Party, on October 17, Juche 15 (1926).
    He put forward the line of founding an independent party at the historic Kalun Meeting in 1930 and organized the Society for Rallying Comrades, the first party organization, with young revolutionaries of the new generation. It was the origin of the Workers' Party of Korea guided by the Juche idea.
    Thanks to his energetic leadership and activities, armed units and many basic party organizations were formed at home and abroad in a short span of time.
    In the latter half of the 1930s, the President organized the Internal Party Working Committee, the Changbai County Party Committee and the East Manchuria Party Working Committee and established the Party guidance system through the Party Committee of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army.
    The Party leadership over the revolutionary movement strengthened the close relations between the Party and the masses and made it possible to awaken and organize people and arouse them to struggle.
    Basing himself on this precious experience and foundation provided during the arduous anti-Japanese armed struggle, he founded the WPK within two months following the liberation of the country.
    Now the Korean people, rallied close around leader Kim Jong Il, are vigorously striving to develop and strengthen the WPK as the glorious Party of Kim Il Sung forever.
