The conference will discuss and decide on acclaiming General Kim Jong Il as the eternal General Secretary of the WPK and glorifying forever his revolutionary career and immortal revolutionary exploits, and will amend the Rules of the Party accordingly. It will also recall some members of the central leadership body of the Party and hold an election to fill the vacancies, which is a regular undertaking at a Party conference.

We should ensure that the conference serves as an epoch- making event that establishes an important milestone in holding up General Kim Jong Il, together with President Kim Il Sung, as the eternal leader of our Party, and in carrying out the ideology and cause of the President and the General with credit. Through the conference, we should clearly demonstrate the faith, will and moral obligation with which we, the descendants of the President and the soldiers and devoted followers of the General, hold them in high esteem and our determination to carry out their ideology and cause.

We should hold the General up unswervingly as the General Secretary of our Party.

To hold him in high esteem as the eternal General Secretary of our Party is, in principle, a demand for consistently holding fast to his ideology and policies and advancing our revolutionary cause to victory.

Holding him up as the eternal General Secretary of the WPK can never be a symbolic act.

It means having him as the General Secretary of the Party invariably and conducting Party building and Party activities in accordance with his ideology and intentions.

His ideology and policies are the permanent guiding principles for our Party and revolution and banners of victory, and their justness and vitality have been proved through our revolutionary practice. Without them, the victorious advance and accomplishment of the cause of our revolution would be inconceivable. If our Party is to lead the Korean revolution along the road of victory and glory as it did in the past, it should hold the General in high esteem as its eternal General Secretary and adhere to strictly and thoroughly implement his ideology and policies.

To hold him up as the eternal General Secretary of our Party is natural in view of the immortal exploits he performed for the times and revolution while leading it for so many years.

The period, during which he developed our Party into the party of President Kim Il Sung with his unexcelled ideas and theory and outstanding leadership, spanned more than half a century. He developed our Party into a revolutionary party in which the leaders’ ideological and leadership systems are firmly established, into a motherly party which has formed a harmonious whole with the masses of the people and serves them, and into an invincible party with iron discipline and fighting efficiency, and he demonstrated the dignity and might of Kim Il Sung’s Korea to the whole world; these constitute his most distinguished achievements, and they should be brilliantly etched in the annals of our Party.

It is because our Party is strong and the army and people are united around it with a single heart that we can continue to ensure the political stability of the country and carry out all our work without the slightest deviation, even though the supreme posts of the Party and the state remain vacant after the demise of the father of the nation. This would be unthinkable apart from the exploits of the General in leading our Party and revolution, and it showcases the greatness and eternal vitality of these exploits. He was an outstanding leader and peerless veteran statesman who developed the WPK into the organizer and guide of all our people’s victories and led our revolution along a road paved with victory.

To hold him in high esteem as the eternal General Secretary of our Party conforms with the noble ideological feeling and desire of all Party members and other people, and is natural from the point of view of moral obligation.

Though he devoted his all throughout his life to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, he left nothing for himself. He was on the most intensive forced march, taking not a moment’s rest, until he breathed his last on a moving train. Such a leader has never been witnessed anywhere in the world. He lives on as the father of the nation and General Secretary of our Party in the hearts of our people and service personnel, who believed in him as in heaven, and the world’s people recognize this. The benevolent image of him as the General Secretary of the WPK will always remain in the hearts of our Party members and other people.

Our officials, including those present here, along with other Party members, service personnel and people, are all the General’s soldiers and devoted followers who grew up in his embrace. It is our natural duty and moral obligation to hold the man, who brought us up, in high esteem as our eternal leader and great teacher. Although he was the leader of the Party, the state and the army, he regarded himself all his life as a revolutionary soldier of President Kim Il Sung, held the President up as the eternal leader of the Party and the people and devoted his all to the realization of the latter’s cause. The General’s noble traits and moral obligation are a paragon which we should all learn from. continue reading: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02kzPhGocTX4Gp65wUJqgJXMqFNWeGUEJu7dbNHkERBmv7AhWPQXUdPWnZWrGUe4TQl&id=100063537731195
