    Pyongyang, December 13 (KCNA) -- A meeting took place here today to mark the 20th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "On Stepping Up the Work of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea". Chairman Kang Chang Uk of the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea, in his report at the meeting said that Kim Jong Il in the work gave a comprehensive exposition of the nature and duty of the union, supreme principles of building it and its activities, tasks of the union and ways of carrying them out and other theoretical and practical problems arising in building of the union and its activities. In the work Kim Jong Il formulated the union as a mass political organisation of socialist agricultural workers and underscored the need to rally the farmers closer around the Workers' Party of Korea and encourage them to a drive to build a socialist countryside and increase agricultural production, he said, and went on:
    Ever since the publication of the work he energetically led the work to enhance the militant functions and role of the union to meet the requirements of the developing revolution, thus developing the organisation into a Songun revolutionary organisation unfailingly loyal to the monolithic guidance of the Party. New changes have been effected in the 20-year-long work of the union and the organisation has grown to be a genuine Songun revolutionary organisation which is taking the lead in the devoted defence of the leader. The credit for this goes to his seasoned guidance and his Juche-based idea and theory of building the union.
    The reporter called upon all organisations and officials of the union to implement to the letter the militant tasks laid down in the work in hearty response to Kim Jong Il's idea and guidance so as to make a tangible contribution to the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation. He underlined the need to build up union committees at all levels as well as primary organisations, the base of political life of union members, in order to further enhance the militant functions and role of the union organisations.
