The immortal work made public by Kim Jong Il on Dec. 14, Juche 74 (1985) is an important work as it helps the union invariably remain true to the idea and leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.

They referred to the fact that Kim Jong Il has led the union to remain true to the leadership of the Party, guided by its Songun idea. They recalled that over the last two decades the union has strengthened its organizations and increased its militant function and role, thereby achieving successes in the work to unite all its members close around the Party and powerfully encouraging them in the socialist rural construction and the drive to boost the agricultural production.
    They stressed the need for all the officials of the union and other agricultural workers to deeply study and grasp the work, strengthen its organizations as militant Songun revolutionary organizations and thus make a tangible contribution to the building of a great prosperous powerful nation of Juche with successes in the agricultural production.
    Present at the seminar were officials of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea in Pyongyang and local areas and agricultural workers.
