National Meeting Held

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 18 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the April 25 House of Culture today to mark the 30th anniversary of the proclamation of the programme for modeling the whole society on the Juche idea by leader Kim Jong Il. He formulated President Kim Il Sung's revolutionary idea as an integral system of idea, theory and method of Juche and proclaimed the great programme for modeling the whole society on the Juche idea on that basis on February 19, Juche 63 (1974).
    This programme serves as a revolutionary programme of Juche as it calls for advancing the revolution with the President's revolutionary idea as the only guiding idea and building a society where the popular masses' independence is fully realized by transforming man, society and nature as required by the Juche idea.
    Choe Thae Bok, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, in a report said that Kim Jong Il's proclamation of the programme for modeling the whole society on the Juche idea is an immortal exploit as it is a programme for winning a victory in the revolutionary struggle of the people in our era for independence and provides a landmark for a revolutionary switchover from the known movement of socialism to the Juche-based movement of socialism.
    Kim Jong Il wisely led the gigantic social revolution to transform the whole society as required by the Juche idea and brought about an epochal turn, he said, and went on:
    Kim Jong Il, attaching primary importance to establishing the monolithic ideological and leadership system of the Party, dynamically conducted a party organizational and ideological work by putting emphasis on training all the Party members, servicepersons of the People's Army and all other working people as enthusiastic revolutionaries who cherish the leader's revolutionary idea and loyalty to the Party and the leader as their faith, uniting them close around the leader and letting them act as one under the monolithic guidance of the Party. This was of decisive significance in accomplishing the cause of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea.
    He also clarified that the struggle to model the whole society on the Juche idea is a struggle to meet the popular masses' demand for independence in the three fields of transforming man, nature and society. He, on this basis, aroused the whole Party and all the people to carry out the ideological, technical and cultural revolutions. This was a major factor of innumerable feats and miracles performed in the overall socialist construction.
    In the 1990s when the imperialist and reactionary forces' moves to stifle the DPRK have reached their height he set out the Songun politics, consolidating the military position of the revolution to be an invulnerable fortress. This was an immensely precious success as it provided a sure guarantee for accomplishing the cause of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea.
    The reporter called for holding higher the great Songun banner and accomplishing the cause of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea to meet the requirements of the Korean revolution that has entered the phase of a new historic turn.
    All the Party members, servicepersons of the People's Army and people should consider it as their primary maxim in their life and struggle to devotedly defend the leader, become human citadels and shields protecting the headquarters of the revolution headed by Kim Jong Il politically and ideologically at the cost of their lives and become indomitable fighters who unconditionally carry out to the letter the Party's line and policies in a do-or-die spirit, he said, and continued:
    All of them should firmly uphold and implement Kim Jong Il's Songun idea and remain true to his Songun revolutionary leadership, bearing in mind that the thorough embodiment of this idea provides a sure guarantee for accomplishing the cause of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea,
    They should step up the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation by conducting an all-out offensive on the three fronts--politics and ideology, anti-imperialism and military affairs and economy and science.
    The prevailing situation requires us to be ready for both dialogue and confrontation, the reporter said, stating that it is an unshakable stand of the Party, the army and the people of the DPRK to return artillery fire for enemy's rifle fire and react to its hard-line policy with the toughest stand.
    If the U.S. bellicose forces finally ignite a war of aggression in defiance of the DPRK's repeated warnings, the Korean army and people led by the great illustrious commander will mobilize all the military potentials they have built up for a long time to destroy the enemy's stronghold by merciless blows and achieve a decisive victory in the confrontation with the U.S.
    Senior Party, state and army officials were among those present at the meeting.
