He underlined the need to develop all the organizations of the UAWK into the revolutionary ranks of Songun capable of contributing to the socialist rural construction and the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche, taking the Songun idea and the undying feats of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il as their life and soul and a source of strength.
    He urged the organizations to conduct the positive political work and mass movement to carry out the Party's policy of agricultural revolution, upholding the joint editorial for this year which calls for once again mobilizing and concentrating all forces on the farming.
