A Special Event in the History of the WPK


Last April the Fourth Conference of the Workers’ Party of Korea was held in Pyongyang.
Kim Jong Il Venerated as Eternal General Secretary of the WPK
The Fourth Conference of the WPK adopted a decision on holding Kim Jong Il in high esteem as its eternal general secretary and adding lustre to his brilliant career and the immortal exploits he performed in building the Party, in reflection of the unanimous will of all the Party members, service personnel and the people.
Kim Jong Il, while leading the WPK for scores of years, accomplished undying exploits in Party building.
From the outset of his working at the Party Central Committee in the 1960s he paid close attention to achieving the unity of the whole Party in ideology and purpose. In the 1970s he advanced a programme of modelling the entire Party on the Juche idea, the revolutionary ideology President Kim Il Sung, founder of the Party, had created, and applied himself to its implementation. Thanks to his energetic leadership the WPK has been consolidated into an integral whole in ideology, organization and action, acting in unison around one centre, and under monolithic ideology and leadership system.
 He made sure that the WPK kept to its revolutionary principles in a consistent and thoroughgoing way.
 In the 1990s President Kim Il Sung passed away, and socialism collapsed in several countries. Availing themselves of this opportunity, the imperialist allied forces focused their anti-socialist offensives on Korea. As a result, Korea literally suffered from the worst hardships and difficulties. But Kim Jong Il showed no vacillation in leading the Party straight along the road of socialism. He formulated his original Songun politics based on the Songun idea Kim Il Sung
authored together with the Juche idea, as the basic political mode of socialism and brought it into full application, thus greatly contributing to the defence of the country’s sovereignty, dignity and socialism as well as global peace and security. Thanks to his Songun politics Korea has developed into a political and military power nobody would dare to attack and ushered in an epochal phase in its efforts to build a thriving socialist country.
  Kim Jong Il made constant efforts to strengthen and develop the WPK into an invincible party which struck roots deep among the masses, a mother party which is knit together with them.

He ensured that the Party reflected the demands and aspirations of the people in its lines and policies to the utmost and defended their interests in every way. This made it possible for the Party to have grown into an experienced, seasoned and ever-victorious party which steadily pursues the implementation of the cause of socialism, without making any mistakes or deviations in mapping out and implementing its lines and under the absolute support and trust by the
people.
The exploits he performed in strengthening and developing the Party are indeed one of the most precious heritages he left for the country and people and constitute eternal foundations for the Party’s future filled with victory.

The proclamation made at the Fourth Conference of the WPK that he is its eternal general secretary is a clear demonstration to the world public that his ideas and cause are ever-lasting and will be carried forward to completion.
Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the WPK
The WPK’s Fourth Conference elected Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of Korea, its first secretary.
Kim Jong Un who is identical with Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in ideology, leadership and virtues is carrying out the ideas and lines of his predecessors, without the slightest vacillation. It is his unshakeable faith and will that he will hold them in high esteem as eternal leaders of the Party and state, implement their ideas and cause to the letter without any concessions or vacillations and thus build a thriving socialist country. With the noblest sense of loyalty and moral obligation to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, he ensured the Kumsusan Memorial Palace where they lie in state was renamed the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and roused all Party members, service personnel and people to the struggle to fulfil their lifetime instructions.
He is possessed of the fervent love for humanity and a noble outlook on the people and administers benevolent politics, all-embracing politics. His personality as a genuine people’s leader who shares sweets and bitters with them excites everyone’s praise and admiration. Endowed with all the virtues and qualifications becoming a modern statesman and the ability to look out over the world and century, and called as the youngest state leader in the world, he is leading the nationwide drive to develop Korea into a thriving socialist power. He also resolutely smashes the imperialist acts of aggression and challenges and makes the greatest contributions to the defence of peace in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world, upholding the banner of Songun.

Under his leadership the WPK and the Korean people will as ever follow the road of independence, Songun and socialism. The WPK will always emerge victorious under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
