KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- Kim Chang Ju, member of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, died of long illness at the age of 81 on November 19, Juche 92 (2003). His obituary was issued yesterday by the WPK Central Committee and the Cabinet of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
    The obituary says that he was a faithful revolutionary who devoted his all to the victory of the Juche revolutionary cause under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung.
    According to it, he, born into a revolutionary and patriotic family, underwent all manners of persecution by the enemy during the Japanese imperialists' military occupation of Korea.
    After the liberation of the country he grew under the care of the Party and the leader and made devoted efforts for socialist construction of the country.
    He fought bravely for victory in the war, serving in the People's Army during the Fatherland Liberation War, and dedicated all his energy and wisdom at local Party and power bodies in the days of postwar socialist construction.
    He energetically worked to steadfastly defend and carry through the Party's line of building socialist economy and develop the rural economy of the country at responsible posts for many years such as the director of the Secretariat and vice-premier of the Administration Council and the chairman of the Agricultural Commission.
    Though he passed away, the feats he performed for the Party, the revolution, the motherland and the people will remain long, the obituary says.
