    Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- A remembrance meeting of workers and members of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK) and an oath-taking meeting of agricultural workers were held Wednesday on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung. Speakers at the remembrance meeting held at the Central Workers' Hall in Pyongyang said that ordinary workers could emerge heroes, innovators and full-fledged masters of the country under the paternal loving care of President Kim Il Sung who had unbreakable ties with the working class and led them with warm fatherly affection.
    They stressed the need for the workers and other GFTUK members to greet the grand October festival with signal successes by creditably fulfilling their duties in the "100-day campaign" in hearty response to the joint slogans of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) just as their forerunners had always remained faithful to the Party in every shining annal of the Korean revolution.
    The reporter and speakers at an oath-taking meeting of agricultural workers held on the Wonhwa Cooperative Farm in Phyongwon County, South Phyongan Province, said that they always remember the undying revolutionary exploits of the President who put forward the farmers as masters of the land, the revolution and the country and devoted his all to the work to bring about epoch-making changes in the countryside.
    They underlined the need for all the agricultural workers to thoroughly carry out the last instructions of the President and fully prepare themselves as the fighters of the Songun revolution who defend leader Kim Jong Il politically and ideologically and at the cost of their lives. A letter of pledge to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the meeting.
    Present at the meetings were Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the WPK Central Committee, officials concerned, workers and members of the GFTUK, officials of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea and agricultural workers in Pyongyang.
