  Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- A national meeting of secretaries of the cells of the Workers' Party of Korea opened at the April 25 House of Culture here Friday.
    Present there were Kim Yong Nam, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK, Choe Thae Bok, Choe Yong Rim, Hong Song Nam and Hong Sok Hyong who are alternate members of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, Kim Kuk Thae, Kim Jung Rin and Kim Ki Nam, secretaries of the WPK Central Committee, leading officials of party organizations in Pyongyang and provinces, exemplary secretaries of party cells and party officials.
    The meeting will review the successes and experience gained by the party cells in strengthening and developing them over the last more than decade and discuss tasks facing all of them to creditably discharge their mission and duty as vanguard organizations carrying out the cause of the party with loyalty and ways to do so.
    Kim Yong Nam conveyed a congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the WPK to the participants in the meeting.
    The message noted that the meeting is a significant one as it will offer an important occasion in demonstrating the invincible might of the party that has victoriously led the cause of Juche-oriented party building and the cause of socialism under the great banner of Songun and in enhancing the function and role of the party cells, bringing about a signal turn in the overall party work and thus dynamically speeding up the general advance of the Songun revolution as required by the party and the developing revolution that have entered a new historical stage.
    It said that the WPK Central Committee highly praises the participants in the meeting and all the secretaries of the cells of the WPK from across the country for the great services they have rendered to consolidate the WPK and revolutionary ranks, firmly defend Korean-style socialism and achieve the prosperity of the country.
    "Let us make all party cells vanguard organizations upholding the Songun revolutionary leadership of our party with loyalty!" This is a militant slogan all the party cells should put up today, the message said, adding that the Central Committee of the WPK firmly believes that all the participants in the meeting and all the secretaries of the cells of the WPK across the country would enhance the militant function and role of the party cells true to Kim Jong Il's Songun revolutionary leadership and thus make positive contributions to developing the WPK and accomplishing the cause of building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
    Choe Yong Rim in a report made at the meeting recalled that President Kim Il Sung set forth a unique theory on party building guided by the Juche idea in the early period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle and set a shining example in building a revolutionary party by forming primary party organizations first and expanding and strengthening them.
    The President's idea and theory on strengthening the party cells and the leadership exploits performed by him in this course have been successfully carried forward by Kim Jong Il, the reporter said, adding:
    Kim Jong Il systematized in an integral whole the Juche idea and the theory of building Juche-oriented party guided by the Juche idea in the early period of leading the WPK and the Korean revolution, clearly indicated the orientation of strengthening the party cells, the lowest organizations of the party, and ways to do so. He also set a shining example in the work of party cells while providing field guidance to a number of party cells.
    He wisely led the work to make all the party cells loyal cells and thus put the historic struggle to develop the party into an eternal party of the President on a new stage of development. The historic letter "Let Us Strengthen Party Cells" he sent to the participants in the national lecture given to secretaries of the cells of the WPK on May 10, Juche 80 (1991) serves as an immortal programme to be always held fast to by all the party cells.
    Over the past more than decade since the last national meeting of secretaries of the cells of the WPK they have grown to be ideologically pure bodies which share the idea and intention with the headquarters of the revolution and glorified their honor of being a reliable groundwork for defending socialism and a death-defying corps in implementing the party policies.
    The reporter went on:
    The general task facing the party cells at present is to rally all the party members and other working people closer around Kim Jong Il and dynamically arouse them to the general advance to attain the high goal of building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation under the Songun revolutionary leadership of the party.
    The reporter called on the party cells to work hard to attain higher goals as required by the new century in order to consolidate them as revolutionary ranks intensely loyal to Kim Jong Il and make positive contributions to enhancing the militant function and role of the party.
    Speeches were made at the meeting.
    The meeting continues.
