Present at the meeting were members of the Political Committee and members of the Central Committee of the KSDP, delegates of the provincial, city and county committees of the KSDP, office bearers and active members of the party in Pyongyang.
    Present on invitation were Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee, Ryu Mi Yong, chairperson of the Korean Chondoist Chongu Party Central Committee, and Ryo Won Gu, presidium member of the C. C., the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland. Kim Yong Dae, chairman of the C. C., the KSDP, in his report said that since its foundation the KSDP as a friendly party of the WPK has waged a strenuous struggle for the country's prosperity and welfare of all generations to come including its efforts made to establish the people's power based on the united front of all political parties, carry out democratic reforms, achieve victory in the Fatherland Liberation War and carry out the postwar rehabilitation and construction and socialist construction. The KSDP has also conducted positive activities to achieve independent and peaceful reunification of the country through the great unity of the nation, he said, and went on:
    The KSDP has energetically conducted external activities and established friendly and cooperative ties with foreign democratic political parties to create a favorable international environment for defending the country's sovereignty and achieving independent and peaceful reunification, thereby contributing to raising the voices of support and solidarity for the DPRK.
    The KSDP has victoriously covered its 60 year-long path. This would be unthinkable without the noble benevolent politics and unbounded magnanimity of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il who reposed trust and showed deep care for the political parties and organizations which value independence and patriotism irrespective of their ideology and political views.
    The KSDP should in the future, too, creditably discharge its noble mission and duty before the country and the people with ardent patriotism in order to push forward the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation and achieving solidarity and alliance with political parties and organizations in south Korea through the three forms of cooperation for national independence, peace against war and for reunification and patriotism under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself", the main spirit of the June 15 joint declaration, he concluded.
