Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, May 1 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the construction site of the Taean Friendship Glass Factory on May 1 to mark the 115th May Day. Present there were Premier of the DPRK Cabinet Pak Pong Ju, Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, officials concerned, builders of the glass factory and Chinese workers and technicians.
    Ryom Sun Gil, chairman of the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea, in a report said that on the May Day the Korean working class and other people are full of enthusiasm to creditably fulfill their mission in the efforts to build a new, free and peaceful world and realize the popular masses' cause of independence under the uplifted banner of independence against imperialism.
    Recalling that the Korean working class has admirably performed their duty in the whole historical course of firmly defending and triumphantly advancing the socialist cause of Juche, he stressed that this has been possible thanks to the wise guidance of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.
    The reporter went on to say:
    All the workers should wage a dynamic struggle to successfully accomplish the revolutionary cause of the President, defend Kim Jong Il politically and ideologically at the cost of their lives, implement the line and policy of the WPK in a do-or-die spirit and become Songun revolutionary comrades who share thought and will with him.
    Our working class should firmly protect the gains of revolution with a transparent view on war and anti-U.S., anti-Japanese fighting spirit as required by the present situation. They should get fully ready to form workers' divisions or regiments and rise up in a sacred fight for defending the country just as they did in the l950s' if hard times come again.
    All workers should fully display patriotic zeal in the on-going worthwhile general march for Songun revolution in the same spirit as was done in the period of postwar reconstruction and in the same spirit as was displayed during the "Arduous March" to overcome stern trials and thus brilliantly decorate the 60th anniversaries of the Workers' Party of Korea and the liberation of the country as the great festivals of victors.
    The reporter declared that the workers and other people of Korea will unite with the world people in the idea of independence, peace and friendship to vigorously struggle to protect national sovereignty and world peace from the arbitrary and high-handed practices of the U.S. imperialists and fulfill their noble international duty for the human cause of independence and socialist cause.
