Opening Address Delivered by the Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un at the Fourth Conference of Cell Secretaries of the Workers’ Party of Korea

Comrades,

Today we are to hold the Fourth Conference of Cell Secretaries of the Workers’ Party of Korea amid the great expectations and interest of all Party members and other people.

The current Conference, the fourth of its kind in the glorious history of our Party, is a significant meeting that has been called according to the lifetime instructions of Comrade Kim Jong Il, eternal General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

By inheriting Comrade Kim Il Sung’s cause of building a revolutionary party with credit, he held that developing Party cells is the key to and the main link in the chain of strengthening the Party as a whole. With clairvoyant wisdom and extraordinary foresight, he grasped the requirements of the historic turning point in carrying out the revolutionary cause of Juche and instructed that arrangements should be made to hold a conference of Party cell secretaries on a large scale with an attendance of 10 000 for the purpose of encouraging them to play a large part in building up Party cells.

The Fourth Conference of Cell Secretaries of the Workers’ Party of Korea will serve as a milestone in radically improving the functions and role of Party cells and enhancing our Party’s militant efficiency in every way as demanded by the new era of the Juche revolution.

On this meaningful occasion I pay the highest respect and eternal glory to Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, founder and builder of the WPK and great images of the powerful Paektusan nation, in reflection of the boundless reverence of the participants in the Conference and all other Party members and people.

I also extend my warm congratulations to the participants in the Conference who have unassumingly devoted themselves to the development of our Party and the prosperity of their country with the honour of and pride in being workers in charge of primary organizations of the glorious Kim Il Sung’s and Kim Jong Il’s Party, and send my militant greetings to all other cell secretaries on behalf of the Party Central Committee.

Comrades,

Today we are faced with an important and heavy task of adding brilliance to the undying revolutionary achievements made by the great Generalissimos throughout their lives and carrying them forward to accomplish the cause of building a thriving nation and reunifying the country, under the unfurled banner of the immortal Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

In order to carry out this important task facing the Party successfully it is necessary to bring about a radical change in all aspects of our Party as the political General Staff of the revolution and construction and the motherly Party that shares the same destiny with the working masses.

The cells of the WPK, lowest-level organizations of the Party and vanguard organizations in implementing its policies, have a very important duty to perform in strengthening the Party organizationally and ideologically, consolidating the ties of blood between the Party and the people and rousing the service personnel and other people to the struggle for the building of a thriving nation.

When the hundreds of thousands of Party cells active in the regions, sectors and units across the country are fully ready it is possible to give a fresh impetus to the development of Party work and the overall national affairs and to achieve world-shaking successes by mobilizing the service personnel and other people all at once.

When all the cell secretaries are firmly united around the Party Central Committee and all the cells of the Party become its solid cornerstones and buttresses, its leadership authority and efficiency will grow beyond measure and its red flag will be flying on the peak of a thriving nation.

The Party Central Committee has decided to make this Conference serve as a decisive occasion for fundamentally improving Party work as a whole by reviewing the achievements, experiences and shortcomings of the past and adopting radical measures for the improvement of the work.

With firm conviction that this Conference will perform its mission satisfactorily by dint of the great enthusiasm and positive role on the part of all the participants here and thus become a landmark event in developing our Party and building a thriving socialist nation, I declare the Fourth Conference of Cell Secretaries of the Workers’ Party of Korea open.
