Celebration Meetings Held in Local Areas and at KPA Units

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- Meetings were held in all provinces, cities and counties across the country and at units of the three services of the Korean People's Army (KPA) on Friday to celebrate the 40th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). The reporters at the meetings referred to the immortal exploits performed by Kim Jong Il who has set a brilliant example in building a revolutionary party with his outstanding idea and leadership despite all challenges of history for the last 40 years in the nearly 60 year-long glorious history of the WPK.
    He formulated President Kim Il Sung's revolutionary idea as an integral system of the idea, theory and method of Juche and declared it as the guiding idea of the revolution in the present times, they noted, adding that on this basis, he unrolled the programme for modeling the whole society on the Juche idea, thereby perfectly settling the issue of the guiding idea and supreme programme of the WPK.
    They went on: Kim Jong Il laid down the WPK's traditional benevolent politics, politics of love and trust, as a socialist political mode and has successfully enforced it. He has thus successfully achieved the single-hearted unity of the leader, the Party and the popular masses and led the WPK to strictly abide by the basic principles governing the revolutionary party construction in its activities to develop the Party into an invincible socialist ruling party.
    Attaching great importance to realizing the integration of the Party and the army, he has firmly established the unitary leadership system of the Party in the KPA under the banner of modeling the whole army on the Juche idea and thus turned the KPA into the leader's army and the Party's army, making the Party and the army an integral whole.
    He set out the Songun policy to cope with the grave situation the Korean revolution faced in the 1990s of the last century and has developed the WPK to be a revolutionary party in the Songun era.
    Thanks to Kim Jong Il's wise leadership over the WPK the DPRK has won one victory after another in the fierce struggle against the imperialists and the U.S. and has reached a high watermark of prosperity through a grand onward movement to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
    They called on all the Party members, servicepersons and people to strengthen the WPK under the banner of the great Songun policy in order to pave a wide avenue for fresh success in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation, bring earlier the independent reunification of the country and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche.
