     London 3 June 2026
 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI) and   Korean Friendship Association of the UK (UK KFA ) issued a joint statement which highly appraised the speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the Central Cadres Training School of the Workers Party of Korea(WPK) which was delivered on the 1st of June ;

In his significant speech respected Marshal KIM JONG UN points out the unique nature of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK saying that

 " In looking back upon the history of political parties of the working class, there is no party other than ours that established bases for training its cadres by itself through a well-regulated system and structure, bases capable of training its hard core, from the centre down to the regional areas in a little over a year after its founding."

The Central Cadres Training School was founded by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG . Instead of looking to other countries that had their revolution earlier to train its cadres ,the Workers Party of Korea established its own cadre training school with its own resources.

Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN stresses the need for continuity by emphasising  that 

"Even when everything else in the world may change, the original feature of the Workers' Party of Korea must remain as it is. Likewise, even when its educational environment and teaching and edification modes may change, the character and mission of the Party school must remain unchanged"

This constitutes a very important guideline for the work of party building and the work of the Party school. 

Moreover respected Marshal KIM JONG UN says that attention must be paid to maintaining revolutionary purity particularly when there is the change of generations; 

"We have to prevent the awareness of the younger generations from receding from the ideals and faith of their revolutionary forerunners, and ensure that the whole society is filled with their ethos of indomitability and staunchness with which to fight resiliently against all odds and challenges. To this end, Party schools should play their role in a responsible manner as political institutions which are assigned to get rid of all alien things and inject only the pure revolutionary spirit"

The ideological spirit should be raised up to the same level as the first generation.

Ideas such as stressing only material and economic factors and not ideological factors as well as anti-people practices such as the abuse of power and bureaucracy should be challenged and combatted .

To conclude the speech of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is a valuable guideline for the training of communist revolutionary cadres which is merits deep study .

Crime of Japan, Sworn Enemy of Korean Nation

 

Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- During their colonial rule over Korea, the Japanese imperialists forcibly drafted and kidnapped more than 8.4 million young and middle-aged Koreans and forced medieval slave labor upon them or used them as cannon fodder.

They cooked up various evil laws such as "the National Mobilization Law" and "Ordinance on Labor Conscription", deprived the Koreans of even the elementary freedom and rights of human beings and did not provide them with the minimum working conditions.

The Koreans were compelled to slave labour at construction sites of military establishments, coal mines, mines and construction sites of dams without any labour protection facilities.

The data dating back to 1944-1945 found in Japan show that Koreans were taken to more than 540 construction sites of military facilities in Japan at that time.

The construction sites were a trap of death for them who had to do heavy physical work for 16 to 18 hours a day and 21 hours to the maximum.

At a coal mine in Kyushu of Japan, many Korean boys under the age of 15 toiled and moiled, and tens of them were buried alive at once owing to the cave-in accident.

The Japanese imperialists mercilessly massacred the people who displeased them even a bit, not being content with making them disabled.

During the period from 1940 to 1944, more than 60 000 Koreans lost their lives due to the harsh maltreatment in coal mines of Japan alone.

The Japanese imperialists' forcible drafting of Koreans was a harsh human rights abuse aimed at forcing the murderous slave labor upon them. -0-

Japan's Expansion of Arms Export is Dangerous Act Fully Revealing True Colors of War Merchant

Pyongyang, June 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Ryo Won, an international security analyst of the DPRK, Tuesday issued the following article "Japan's expansion of arms export is a dangerous act fully revealing the true colors of a war merchant":

Taking the advantage of the present unstable international situation in which armed conflicts are frequent in different parts of the planet due to the U.S. arbitrary practices and tyranny, Japan is going beyond the red-line in its frantic moves to free itself from the political and military fetters of the defeated nation and realize its ambition for reinvasion.

Its latest example is Japan's amendments to the "three principles of defense equipment transfer" and the guidelines for its operation in April, which had restricted the arms export just for form's sake, despite concern and strong opposition at home and abroad. And Japan is now keen on expanding arms export while justifying it.

Days ago, the present chief executive of Japan justified the criminal nature of the amendments to the "three principles of defense equipment transfer" by asserting that the essential point is that it makes it possible to increase the deterrent for defence and prevent disputes in advance in the most severe security environment after the war.

Japan, a war criminal state, has revised its policy of arms export, talking about the "dramatic turn of its security policy". This is by no means a matter to be overlooked in view of its intention and purpose.

It is well known that Japan, which is banned by the international law and its own constitution from possessing the right to belligerency, the right to participate in a war and war potentials, has removed the institutional obstacles one by one in a dodged way to export weapons, not content with its frantic development of offensive weapons and equipment.

In the 1960s and 1970s Japan put forward the "three principles of arms export" and "all-round expansion of the principle of banning arms export" as the signboard of a "pacifist state" but behind the scenes it pursued its own purposes.

It is an open secret that the parts of various kinds of lethal weapons used in the sites for aggression wars, big or small, launched by the U.S. to realize its hegemonic strategy, including the Gulf War and the Yugoslavia War, were marked with brands of Japanese munitions monopolies.

In 2014, the then Abe cabinet abolished the "three principles of arms export", a hindrance to the realization of its goal to become a military giant. And it cooked up the so-called "three principles of defense equipment transfer" whose keynote is to allow the export of lethal weapons to those countries taking part in the co-development of weapons and equipment and the export of equipment for non-combatant purpose such as "disaster relief, transportation, guard, surveillance and clearing" to other countries.

In 2023, Japan amended it and sold its home-made Patriot missiles to the U.S. under the permission of its enterprises. In this roundabout way, Japan sent a lot of lethal weapons to the Ukrainian battlefield.

Not content with this, Japan completely removed the restrictions on the export of weapons and equipment at this time and added an exceptional clause that allows it not to observe the principle of banning arms exports to a party in a conflict under "the special circumstances." By doing so, Japan opened up a legitimate way to unrestrictedly sell all kinds of lethal weapons to any conflict zone in the world.

Accordingly, Japan is busy exporting all kinds of lethal weapons, including escort ships, submarines and missiles, through frequent arms sales negotiations with its so-called like-minded countries.

The world people still remember the criminal act committed by Japan which got a windfall through the supply of vast quantities of munitions as a logistic base of the U.S. during the Korean War in the 1950s, and embarked upon the road of reviving militarism with it as its asset.

Japan's expansion of arms export is a dangerous act that fully revealed its true colors as a war merchant intended to expand the munitions industry and realize its ambition to be a major military power at any cost through the selling of a large number of deadly weapons.

And Japan seeks to accelerate the preparations for reinvasion by worsening geopolitical conflicts in the hot spots of the world and making much money through the bloodshed. Herein lies the injustice and dangerousness of Japan's arms export expansion.

Japan once resorted to political and military provocations against the neighboring country, suggesting its intervention in "Taiwan contingency", and it is now developing into a war state by finding a market for selling various lethal weapons. So, Japan's destination is quite self-evident.

The international community should thoroughly check and frustrate ever-increasing moves of Japan, a war criminal state, to become a military giant as it has completely discarded even the veil of "pacifist state", obsessed with its ambition for reinvasion, and seriously threatens global peace and security. -0-

Remarks on "Dagger in Heart of Asia" Is Intensive Manifestation of U.S. Hegemonism and Cold War Mentality

Pyongyang, June 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Myong Chol, an international affairs analyst of the DPRK, made public the following article "The remarks on the 'dagger in the heart of Asia' are an intensive manifestation of the U.S. hegemonism and Cold War mentality" on June 3:

Brunson, commander of the U.S. forces in the ROK, in a recent interview described the ROK as the "dagger in the heart of Asia", triggering an international controversy.

He said that when they look out from the east coast of China, what they see is there's the ROK, the "dagger in the heart of Asia". He added that Japan plays the role of sort of a shield as well as the role of checking China's ambition to make inroads into the South China Sea and then the Philippines down to its southeast.

The Chinese Embassy in the ROK said Brunson's comments "crossed the line", and asked the commander: "Are your remarks rife with hostility and aggression regarding China authorized by Washington?"

The ROK also expressed its discomfort, saying that it has been "maintaining communication" with the U.S. And the media expressed concern that Brunson's comments might be interpreted as an intention to expand the ROK-U.S. alliance and the role of the U.S. forces in the ROK in "containing China".

And Brunson made up some excuses, saying that his remarks were misreported and he merely intended to explain the operational conditions. But his assertion served as an occasion of revealing once again the position of the ROK as an advanced base for carrying out the U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy.

In fact, his remarks are not an impromptu assertion but fully reflect the strategic vision of the successive U.S. administrations intended to use the ROK as an important geopolitical instrument to realize its regional strategy aimed at containing China.

The U.S. has occupied the ROK and used it as a military springboard for invasion of the Asian continent since the 1940s, uttering that the Korean peninsula is just like a "dagger" for cutting a "lump of meat" called Asia. And so far it has ceaselessly sharpened the "dagger" for its regional hegemony.

In particular, the U.S. has put forward the Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy aimed at containing China and the Indo-Pacific strategy, a detailed and extended version of the former strategy, and focused on attaining the military edge in the region since the end of the Cold War.

To this end, it has tightened its grip on the ROK militarily through the deployment of THAAD and joint military exercises and accelerated the efforts to increase the combat capability of the U.S. forces in the ROK and improve their ability to launch integrated operations with allies.

The U.S., which had expressed its plan to reorganize the U.S. forces in the ROK into the "strategic task force" and "regional expeditionary force" since 2004, reached an agreement with the ROK on "strategic flexibility" of the U.S. forces in the ROK in January 2006, and in the 2010 Defense Department report, it clarified for the first time that the U.S. forces in the ROK could be dispatched to other regions according to the principle of "strategic flexibility".

Recently, it more openly advocated the "modernization of the U.S.-ROK alliance" talking about "bolstering up conventional deterrent against all threats in the region" and "ensuring peace and security in the Taiwan Strait" at the 57th U.S.-ROK annual security consultative meeting in November last year. And in the National Security Strategy Report in December that year, it stressed the need for the regional allies including the ROK to increase the defence expenditure with the main emphasis on strengthening the capabilities needed for containing hostile countries and protecting the "first island chain".

According to such policy, the U.S. resorted to arms buildup by forming an "expeditionary reconnaissance battalion" involving the multi-mission drone MQ-9 Reaper in the ROK and deploying more F-16 fighters for establishing the "super-powerful wing".

Recently alone, it approved the sale of 24 new-type helicopters for naval operation MH-60R and parts of attack helicopters AH-64E Apache to the ROK and conducted the training of the U.S. Army multi-domain mobile task force created with the aim of containing neighboring countries within the "first island chain", promoting the coordination of the U.S. military posture in the region.

International media and experts unanimously comment that such U.S. attempt is aimed at coordinating the role, mission and military posture of the U.S. forces in the ROK and the ROK army in the direction of concentrating on deterring major rival states in the Asia-Pacific region.

This makes it possible to realize that the U.S.-ROK nuclear submarine cooperation and the integration of nuclear and conventional forces, which are causing concern of the international community, are, in the long run, directly linked to the attempt to ensure the "strategic flexibility" of the U.S. forces in the region and make use of the ROK for containing China.

All these facts clearly prove that the U.S.-ROK alliance is the core axis in the new national defense strategy of the U.S. mainly aimed at encircling and deterring its major rival in the Asia-Pacific region.

The U.S.-ROK alliance, which is evolving into a more confrontation-oriented one day by day, has become a fundamental factor in further deteriorating military tension and creating constant instability in the Asia-Pacific region, arousing due vigilance of the regional countries and the international community aspiring after peace and stability.

It is by no means fortuitous that regional countries are recently becoming increasingly critical of the U.S. and the ROK strengthening their alliance and, in particular, expressing deep concern that the ROK may eventually be driven into the same plight as that of Ukraine as it is standing at the strategic crossroads in the competitive relations between the U.S. and China.

The recent remarks of the commander of the U.S. forces in the ROK clearly show the vicious appearance of the U.S. as the chieftain of harassing peace and the world's worst war empire, which has regarded the Korean peninsula and its vicinity as the main battlefield for camp confrontation and new Cold War.

The U.S. attempt to bolster up the collective deterrence against the anti-imperialist independent forces in the Asia-Pacific region will inevitably invite security concerns of neighboring powers and promote increased cooperation to offset it. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Delivers Important Speech on Occasion of 80th Founding Anniversary of Central Cadres Training School of Workers' Party of Korea

Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, paid a congratulatory visit to the Central Cadres Training School of the Workers' Party of Korea greeting its 80th founding anniversary on June 1, and made a meaningful speech before its teaching staff and students and the education workers and students from provincial Party schools across the country.

He said:

Comrades,

Today the Central Cadres Training School of the Workers' Party of Korea marks its 80th founding anniversary.

I warmly congratulate all its teaching staff and students on this very significant day.

Also present here are the education workers from provincial Party schools, and I extend warm greetings, through you, to the teaching staff and students of Party schools at all levels throughout the country.

I also pay tribute to the educators and meritorious persons of the preceding generations who made a distinguished contribution to the training of Party cadres as they faithfully worked at Party schools until the twilight years of their life.

Today I am really filled with deep emotion as we are to mark in splendour the 80th founding anniversary on this campus truthfully reminiscent of the high dignity and sacred course of our Party.

Celebrating the occasion, when the glorious history of the school is connected with its rosier future, can be called a demonstration of our faith and will to carry forward the revolutionary ideology and Party building ideal of Juche with a firm conviction in them and in their pure form without the slightest deviation.

In looking back upon the history of political parties of the working class, there is no party other than ours that established bases for training its cadres by itself through a well-regulated system and structure, bases capable of training its hard core, from the centre down to the regional areas in a little over a year after its founding.

It was a truly correct and far-sighted measure to have laid the foundation for training Party cadres armed with our ideology and traditions and the mode of struggle of our own style in the difficult and complicated situation immediately after the country's liberation, when there was almost nothing to rely on, proceeding from the Juche-oriented standpoint that even though the problem of technical personnel could be solved by means of training them abroad, political activists who would serve as pillars of the Party and revolution of our country should be trained by our own efforts.

In its 80-year history since June 1, 1946, when its founding was declared with the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung as the first principal and only 80 persons as students, the Central Cadres Training School has made a steady growth into a reliable cadres training base of the WPK both in name and reality. Today, too, it is adding lustre to its sacred original name without marring it in the slightest, the appellation for a political educational institution faithfully serving the Juche-oriented Party building cause and for a strategic fortress guaranteeing the existence and development of the Party.

As a matter of fact, our Central Cadres Training School is the only political school which has laid such a solid foundation for and given nourishment to the cause of building the working-class party, which has continued from one century to the next and from one generation to the next, while going through the arduous years of the revolution together with the Party since its birth.

In this sacred course, the school has gained great honour and reputation and also preserved them.

The many hard-core elements educated and trained here have played the role of the backbone in strengthening all levels of the Party, ranging from its grass-roots organizations to its central committee, organizationally and ideologically, and are performing the important duty of leading the development of the political, military, economic, cultural and all other spheres of state and social life.

The Central Cadres Training School, shouldering the responsible mission of guaranteeing the eternal future of the Party and the revolution, has made a tangible contribution to training Party cadres equipped with faithfulness and high practical qualifications and to enriching the treasure house of the theory of building a revolutionary party. This firm stronghold has made it possible for the WPK to chronicle its sacred chapters without any mistakes or twists even in the tempest of history and maintain its dignity still today with outstanding leadership abilities.

During its shining 80 years the school has left indelible imprints in the development of the Party and served as its powerful base for preserving the immutable revolutionary genes for the succession to its cause that will not deflect even in the coming 80, nay 800, years. This constitutes the outstanding position and matchless authority unique to the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK.

Comrades,

Building a prosperous and powerful state is inconceivable separated from the core and leading role of Party cadres and training Party cadres should be put above all other affairs. The aim of the founding of this school remains an absolute truth even today, 80 years later.

As everyone feels and experiences, the reality is changing very rapidly and our socialist construction is going through an era of transformation, which no one has ever witnessed.

Our Party is vigorously promoting crucial policies aimed at radically boosting the overall strength of the country and transforming its appearance; accordingly, the struggle to realize the people's ideals is expanding to an unprecedented scale.

That is why we can say that this is the time when the role of Party cadres is highlighted more than ever before.

But the point is that there are not many competent Party cadres capable of perfectly carrying out the Party's ideas and policies in the theatres of gigantic struggle for transformation that is going on more extensively and intensively as the days go by, the hard core capable of organizing their work in keeping with the changing reality and the high demands and standards of the developing times.

Comrade Kim Jong Un, after analyzing the current overall level and abilities of cadres, referred to the urgent need to decisively enhance the role of the cadres training schools of the Party, whose course is compulsory for all cadres to attend, and continued:

It can be said that this is an era when talented persons, not material resources like technical means or natural resources, are considered to be the No. 1 strategic resources of the state, and that the level of development of the socialist state depends entirely on the level of the cadres of its ruling party.

Training Party cadres has never been separated from the existence and development of our Party and state, but this has never been such a pressing and vital task as it is today, I think.

Of course, some who are loyal and talented can be found in reality, but the ranks of Party cadres needed for all the fronts and their boundaries of the revolution that is developing in depth can only be trained through the specialist education of Party officials.

If the Party is to be strong and the country is to develop, the "pedigree" institution for training hard-core cadres of the Party should be firm, and talents of the talents of our country must be produced by this institution.

Another reason why we attach top priority to Party school education is that, with the change of generations in the revolution, people of younger generations, who are short of tempering in Party life and differ in sensitiveness from their preceding generations, make up the main ranks of cadres.

Comrade Kim Jong Un referred to the prevailing situation, in which cadres of younger generations who have had no chance to undergo trying ordeals like war and postwar rehabilitation, are betraying bigger and bigger differences in the spiritual world and personal quality from those of their preceding generations.

Clarifying how to tide it over, he stressed:

This shows that the younger they are, the greater attention should be paid to training them in Party spirit and transforming them along revolutionary lines and that a higher level and target should be adopted in deciding the educational content and methods.

We have to prevent the awareness of the younger generations from receding from the ideals and faith of their revolutionary forerunners, and ensure that the whole society is filled with their ethos of indomitability and staunchness with which to fight resiliently against all odds and challenges. To this end, Party schools should play their role in a responsible manner as political institutions which are assigned to get rid of all alien things and inject only the pure revolutionary spirit.

Party schools should put their teaching levels and educational environment and climate onto a highest possible phase. In this way, they can produce genuine Party officials worthy of the name, who are ready to work heart and soul for supporting the Party's leadership, instead of simply turning out their graduates who pay lip service to the concepts and text of the five-point line of Party building in the new era.

In other words, they should hold fast to their original features and ethos as the Party's political schools despite the passage of time and the uninterrupted change of generations, and train Party cadres who are indispensable to the country, people who are prepared to devote themselves to the good of their fellow people, the source of their own life, while sharing ideology, intentions and ideals with the Party Central Committee.

Hoping that the teaching staff and students of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK as well as all its graduates will be boundlessly loyal to the great mission assigned by the Party, state and people, and meet the requirements of our developing revolution, I would like to avail myself of this opportunity to emphasize some things.

What I want you to refresh your memory of on this occasion today is that the Central Cadres Training School is, in name and reality, a Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist school, a school of the Party Central Committee.

Even when everything else in the world may change, the original feature of the Workers' Party of Korea must remain as it is. Likewise, even when its educational environment and teaching and edification modes may change, the character and mission of the Party school must remain unchanged.

This may be what we have said time and again, and yet we should be mindful at all times of why we established our own Party school on the debris when parties in other countries in the same situation asked those countries that had accomplished their revolution earlier to train their own cadres.

Our Party, since it newly built the Central Cadres Training School at this sacred place, has been doing its utmost to provide the school with the highest level of working, learning and living conditions. This is, in the final analysis, aimed at training the elite who are thoroughly armed with the ideology of the WPK.

Our revolution has got a unitary character which should remain absolute and immutable for its steady succession and accomplishment.

That is the single guiding ideology, single leadership centre and single leadership system.

Only those who, cherishing unshakeable trust in their Party, have committed themselves to following it on the road of revolution against all odds, will not bend the knee or yield to power, nor will they tend to swim with the tide.

Whoever has graduated from the Central Cadres Training School must, above all else, be uncompromising when it comes to keeping revolutionary faith and principles.

The type of official our Party needs is one who regards its ideology and purpose as an absolute truth and never recognizes anything other than them, and who can carry out its policies unconditionally, come what may.

Graduates from Party schools, however many there may be and whatever character or qualifications they may have, should be one and the same in terms of the spirit and mettle with which to defend the validity of the Party's lines and policies.

The Central Cadres Training School produces 200 or so graduates a year. If they are all prepared to be pure-hearted and honest loyalists who are steadfast in ideology and faith, our Party's ranks of cadres will become a rock-solid buttress supporting the Party and the government, a powerful propellant for advancing the Korean revolution straight ahead while wiping away all manner of undesirable elements.

Over the past eight decades after emerging as a communist school, this school has put the main emphasis on tempering its students' loyalty to the Party. Just as in the past, it should design its curriculum as a course of mental training for helping the students cherish the Party Central Committee's intentions and will as an element of their faith, not merely as a course of imparting theories and knowledge to them; it should also organize the students' daily routine in ways that will facilitate the training of their ideology and willpower and cultivate their mental qualities, that is, improve their loyalty to the Party and foster the spirit of devotion to revolutionary tasks and ennobling personality. Such should be established as the Party school's peculiar climate.

The school should ensure that its students, while learning on the noble campus, seek an instinctive understanding of what the Party's aim is, what it is concerned about and how they should act to defend the authority of the Party Central Committee.

The fighters who pioneered our revolution cherished loyalty to the revolution as something like an inborn quality, even though they were denied access to regular education. Throwing themselves unhesitatingly into doing something that is most challenging, most urgent or most pressing--this was a source of infinite honour, glory and pride for them. Established as the mental mainstay of this country, this priceless tradition has influenced its successive generations.

Party schools ought to stand at the forefront of the effort to carry forward the ideological bloodline of our Party and the pure soul of the Juche revolution. So, they should naturally conduct revolutionary education and edification to raise the students' ideological spirit up to the level of our first-generation revolutionaries' mental world.

An important factor in qualifying the students as Party officials is to ensure that they get into the habit of acting in accordance with Party Rules and the regulations of Party life.

Only when all the members of society observe the laws of the state, will everything in the country go well. Likewise, if our officials make it part of their habit to act in strict accordance with Party Rules, success will be assured in all the aspects of work, like establishing the unified leadership system of the Party Central Committee and cultivating loyalty to the Party, the revolution and the people.

It is important to make an exacting demand on the students so that they act in strict accordance with Party Rules and the regulations of Party life, use all the opportunities and processes for tempering loyalty to the Party so effectively as to help them develop mentally and raise their political awareness, and put their daily routine on a highly regular basis as appropriate for the climate of the Party's political school.

Party schools should pay special attention to ensuring that the students acquire the moral qualities befitting the officials of the ruling Party.

If an ideology and ideal is to serve as the banner of great ennobling struggle for the country and the people, it must be combined with morality.

A man, who has intellectual faculties but lacks morality, weighs the importance in approaching any undertaking and seeks after appreciation or personal honour. Such a man instinctively shrinks back when he is faced with a moment in which he has to risk his life, and he is liable to mentally collapse if he thinks that he is left alone on a deserted island.

For a revolutionary, steadfast ideology and ennobling morality can be said to be twin pillars that support his faith and personality.

Party schools should regard the work of implanting moral consciousness in the minds of the students and refining their moral traits as a pedagogical process which is as important as ideological education, and put the main stress on training all of them into true human beings who are possessed of unstained revolutionary conscience and moral obligation.

They should thoroughly eliminate all kinds of immoral and undisciplined practices that our Party guards and resolutely fights against, and the wrong viewpoint of regarding the course of studying at a Party school as a springboard for career development.

What I expect most of the Central Cadres Training School is that everything, which the students see, hear and feel on this campus, would become the nourishment for enabling them to cherish the revolutionary ideology of the Party and the political faith as unshakable ones and the lessons for developing their Party awareness and communist traits to be never forgotten throughout their life.

Simply by reading Comrade Kim Il Sung's autograph inscribed on the monument at the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK, the students would realize by themselves what they should learn first and what kind of persons they should become.

The word people, running through his precious instructions, describes in an intensive way what kind of person is an official necessary for the Party and the state.

With the passage of time, changes have taken place in the people's thinking and the mode of their activities, but the essence of our people, who entrust their destiny wholly to the Party and follow it, remains utterly unchanged and will never change in the future, too.

The mindset of the people is always on the side of the Party.

Some officials are obsessed with the material and economic factors rather than the ideological factor in Party work, claiming that the people of these days differ from those in the past era. Needless to say, it is an expression of ignorance of what faith and spirit defends and supports this country, or it is what the loafers, who have never properly embodied the Party's people-centred philosophy, say.

The appellation our great people is by no means a legacy of the past.

Countless are the citizens who have worked with devotion and still do so in different parts of the country for the Party and the state without expecting any remuneration or reward. Enshrined in their minds are pure and warm patriotism and loyalty which can never be compared with the value of any orders and medals.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that in recent years the Party is putting forward the Party-founding generation, stressing the need to inherit its original ideals and spirit. This is because anti-people practices such as abuse of power, bureaucratism and accumulation of wealth by illicit means, which could not be found in the days of Party founding, have been revealed in the Party, he said, and continued:

People see and discern everything correctly.

To the officials who work sincerely for the sake of the Party and the state and who value the people as they would do their own parents, wives and children, the people not only open their heart but also guide them how to solve problems and teach them how to be resourceful, courageous and plucky.

The knack of gaining such an enormous asset is for the officials to prepare themselves into genuine Party officials equipped with Party spirit and people-oriented character.

The Central Cadres Training School should attach primary attention to educating and edifying its students with the aim of equipping them with our Party's outlook on the people, as well as tempering their Party spirit. In this way, it can help all of them acquire the spirit and trait of serving the people with faith and sincerity.

It would be a good idea to teach them with vivid examples how the first generation, who started the revolution following the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, fought believing only in the truth that they would emerge victorious in the revolution if they pooled the strength of the people and how painstakingly they strove to win over even a single person to the side of the revolution.

The school should give them an in-depth understanding of the Party's method of work with the masses so that they always mingle with the people and possess the ability of educating and moving them with skilful work method and style even in the face of unfamiliar situations.

It is important for this school to bring its education close to practical Party work and to give education that is closely combined with real situation. This is why it should proactively find out the experience and methods accumulated in the work with the people, the work with the masses, and apply them in its teaching.

Among the students, some, who made distinguished achievements by working well with the masses while staying on the job, can take the platform of a symposium or public presentation. This will be truthful and effective, I think.

The students in the six-month refresher course will complete their course soon. You and all others who will graduate from this school, mindful of the fact that you are sons and daughters of the working people and faithful servants and vanguard fighters of the people trained by our Party, should always make efforts to improve and train yourselves to become officials enjoying the people's affection and trust.

The present era demands Party officials who are possessed of specialist qualifications--who are capable of thinking and working with a fresh enterprising work style and innovative insight.

If he is a cadre of our Party, he should be an able political activist capable of grasping the actual conditions of his sector and unit promptly and correctly in the light of Party policy, presenting scientific methods with his clear-cut view, freely communicating with experts and other talented persons and rousing the organization and the masses to action, that is, a hands-on official capable of producing substantial results through persevering efforts.

Party schools should make every possible effort to help their students acquire in a historical and systematic way the immutable guidelines and programmes put forth in the whole course of the founding of our Party and its development, teach them the fundamental principles and methodology necessary for learning and applying more knowledge more quickly, and train them to be the Party building specialists, versatile persons, who have mastered the guidelines and detailed regulations of Party work and methods of presiding over various meetings so as to be proficient in practical Party work.

Party official should be an eloquent speaker and a competent writer capable of awakening the masses and arousing them to the implementation of Party policy.

Party schools should intensify education in composition, get the students to analyze and evaluate others' writings and regularly organize various presentations during lectures, discussions and daily routine, in order to improve their oratory and writing abilities, which are essential qualifications of Party officials, in the course of that.

Party schools are educational administration organs training Party cadres and, at the same time, important bases for studying the ideas and theories of Party building.

The Central Cadres Training School of the WPK and other Party schools at all levels should steadily intensify the study of the Party's ideas and theories for academically formulating and systematizing the ideas and theories put forward by the Party Central Committee and for demonstrating the validity of Party policies that are constantly developed and enriched.

They should make an in-depth study of the new Party building ideas, including the five-point Party-building line in the new era, and the pressing theoretical and practical problems in strengthening the whole Party, and also work out methodologies, plans and good ideas for Party work geared to solving the problems arising in reality.

They should create a model of advanced education so as to strongly promote the educational revolution in the new era.

Although society is developing rapidly and the scope of transformation is being expanded at present, Party schools still fail to overcome the old practice of cramming out-of-date knowledge into the students by systematizing it.

A day's stagnation at present results in a vast gap which would be difficult to address even if you make efforts for one hundred days, nay, a thousand days.

The reality in which a new stage of struggle for transformation is being waged is just the course of developing and enriching Party policy.

Party schools should regard it as their lifeline to put the teaching content on a Party-policy footing, sensitively reflect new Party's policies in the teaching of all subjects and constantly update the teaching content so that the students would correctly sense the development trend of the times.

They should also set examples in searching for and introducing advanced teaching methods and applying various information technologies to the education practice.

The guidance bureau for Party cadres training institutions under the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK should cooperate with educational units in all fields to share advanced teaching styles and methods and should ensure the sufficient and timely provision of teaching resources needed for the qualitative change in education at Party schools in provinces, cities and counties.

As it is the world's best political school, the Central Cadres Training School should keep updating the items and indexes which can be standards for the whole country also in educational administration.

As I have repeatedly stressed, Party officials should change first in order to make the country change and education at Party schools should change to that end and, before that, it is necessary to raise the ideological consciousness of the teaching staff of Party schools and improve their qualifications and abilities.

Comrade educators of the Central Cadres Training School and other Party schools at all levels who are making strenuous efforts at the honourable post for training our Party cadres,

Just as fruits are good when they are invariably tended by putting the whole mind, conscience and efforts, so will the results of education be.

Your platform and educational authority will change in height, if you possess good qualifications and personality, fully conscious of the reason why you are standing on this platform and the attitude with which to preserve your educational authority.

Mindful of the fact that the teachers of Party schools are ideological advocates and political activists of our Party before educators, you should constantly raise your Party spirit and political awareness, educate and inspire students with profound knowledge, outstanding teaching abilities, high academic authority and noble moral traits so that students can keep all their life the precious memories of the days when they learned and grew at Party schools.

I believe that you will channel all your energy and passion into the sacred cause of consolidating the strategic fortress for building the bright future of the WPK into an impregnable one.

Students who should shoulder the future of our Party and revolution,

You are studying and growing to your heart's content at the most prestigious university of the DPRK, the world-class political school at the time when each hour and each day are so invaluable.

Without forgetting even for a moment the expectations of the Party and the people, you should always be positive learners and active searchers to steadily improve your practical abilities and should read avidly so that you can be proud of having read really a lot of books in your school days.

Reliable pillars who are excellent in all aspects and capable of taking charge of any front and domain should be trained in large numbers just at this school.

Dear comrades,

We now stand here together with one mind and will and with a firm determination. This place will serve as another significant starting point for developing our Party and revolution.

The determination you are renewing at this moment and the efforts you will make will bring brilliant results to the Party and the country in the future.

Linking the honourable moment of today to the future, let us open up more courageously the broad avenue for Party building in the new era.

Glory to the future of the Central Cadres Training School of the Workers' Party of Korea! -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Pays Congratulatory Visit to Central Cadres Training School of WPK on Its 80th Founding Anniversary

 Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Pays Congratulatory Visit to Central Cadres Training School of WPK on Its 80th Founding Anniversary

Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- The Central Cadres Training School of the Workers' Party of Korea, a prestigious political school of the WPK and the highest seat of training cadres of the Party, is proudly marking its 80th founding anniversary in its glorious history.

The Central Cadres Training School has successfully carried out its strategic and historic duty, entrusted by the times and the revolution, in the van of accomplishing the sacred cause of eternally carrying forward the lifeline of the Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Party and its ever-victorious leadership and firmly guaranteeing the bright prospect of the Juche cause. Such contribution of the school serves as a solid cornerstone supporting the immortal dignity and honor of the WPK which is writing the longest history as a socialist ruling party.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, paid a congratulatory visit to the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK marking its 80th founding anniversary on June 1.

The revolutionary university, which stands imposingly in the historic Kumsusan area as a symbol of the absolute prestige of the WPK and the invincibility of our cause, was filled with great excitement and joy of all its teaching staff and students who had the greatest honor and happiness of having Comrade Kim Jong Un on its campus on the significant 80th founding anniversary.

When Comrade Kim Jong Un arrived, all the participants broke into thunderous cheers of "Hurrah!".

They paid the highest tribute and gratitude to Comrade Kim Jong Un, the most faithful successor to the sacred cause of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, the peerlessly great political master and the great teacher, who visited the school with ardent love, trust and warm blessing.

Comrade Kim Jong Un was courteously greeted by Ri Yong Sik, headmaster of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK, and Paek Hyong Chol, secretary of its primary committee of the WPK.

He was presented with bouquets of fragrant flowers by the school's educational workers.

He warmly congratulated all the teaching staff and students of the school on its significant 80th founding anniversary as they are performing brilliant feats with honor by making tangible contribution to organizational and ideological strengthening of the Party and its leadership activities through educational practice and scientific activities and with good scholastic attainments at a time when the new era of Party building and the great period of national rejuvenation are being ushered in.

Present at the celebrations were secretaries and other officials of the Central Committee of the WPK, the teaching staff and students of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK and educational workers and students of the provincial Party schools across the country.

Present there on invitation were the veteran educators who made distinguished contributions to training Party cadres.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a significant speech on the occasion of the 80th founding anniversary of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK.

He appreciated the special position and dignity and the high honor of the Central Cadres Training School, which has vigorously developed into a reliable cadre-training base of the WPK both in name and in reality for the past 80 years since it was founded with 80 students holding in high esteem the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung as its first headmaster on June 1, 1946, and is now purely glorifying its sacred original name as a political and educational institution faithfully serving the cause of Juche-oriented Party building and as a strategic fortress guaranteeing the existence and development of the Party.

The original idea of founding the school that it is hard to expect the building of a prosperous state apart from the core and leading role of the Party cadres and the training of Party cadres should be put above all other affairs remains an absolute truth even now after 80 years, he said, referring to the strategic intention of the WPK attaching greater importance to the training of Party cadres and its inevitability at a time when the socialist construction is in the era of transformation which no one has ever experienced and the struggle for realizing the people's ideal is being intensified as never before.

He said that if the Party is to become strong and the country to develop, the pedigree establishment for training hard-core cadres of the Party should be firm and the top-ranking talents of our country should be trained. And he set forth in detail the important principles and educational and practical directions to be adhered to by the Party political school in remaining faithful to its character, nature and mission and training the reserves of the Party into core elements possessed of the Juche outlook on the revolution, life and morality despite the passage of time and the steady replacement of generations.

He wished the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK only glory in the future, ardently calling for making the glorious moment of today, which marks another significant starting point in the development of the WPK and the revolution, lead onto the brighter future and more courageously opening up the great course of party building in the new era.

All the participants, receiving with boundless excitement the profound guidelines guaranteeing the bright future of strengthening the whole Party in the new era, broke into enthusiastic cheers amid a thunderous clapping of hands, expressing their determination to remain unfailingly faithful to the cause of Juche-oriented party building as the true personifiers of the red-flag spirit firmly armed with the revolutionary idea of the Party Central Committee and the standard-bearers of the revolution steadfastly carrying forward the glory of the Party and guaranteeing its future.

Comrade Kim Jong Un went round the room dedicated to the history of the school.

Our cause of Party building has never experienced a moment of stagnation or frustration even in the years of the arduous revolution, thanks to the Party cadres training bases which have invariably served as a nutrition for the Juche-oriented cause of Party building from the very day of the Party founding, he said, adding that it is the great pride and strength of the WPK to have such a prestigious educational base and strong theoretical base as the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK which is reliably supporting the struggle of the socialist ruling Party while maintaining the high sense of responsibility for the revolutionary cause, sincere research attitude and substantial teaching strategy.

He stressed that even though the Party's revolutionary idea is great and its exploits enormous, it is impossible to expect the Party's long-term development and steady succession to the revolutionary cause if the Party fails to successfully train its successors, and that the Central Cadres Training School should ceaselessly enhance the leadership and fighting efficiency for the permanent existence and continued victorious development of the Party and consolidate its eternal prosperity in conformity with the important mission given by the times and the revolution.

It is the guarantee for invincibility of the revolutionary Party and the law of its rule to highly value its sacred first page and steadfastly carry it forward as the history becomes longer and exploits are accumulated, he said, stressing that the school should steadily glorify its noble position and duty as the main base and think-tank of the Party's ideo-theoretical building in the work of intensifying the education and struggle to maintain and give full play to the Party's original ideals and determination and qualitatively training the hard-core elements possessed of the revolutionary climate inherent in the Party as their mental qualities.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un had a photo taken with the teaching staff of the Central Cadres Training School, who are devoting their high qualifications as educators, Party conscience and revolutionary enthusiasm to the sacred school platform related to the eternal future of the Party, on the occasion of the significant founding anniversary of the school.

The role of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK just means the strengthening and development of the WPK and the eternal future of the Party building depends on every step of this political school, he said, expressing expectation and belief that the school will further strive to strengthen the Party and brilliantly accomplish its sacred action programs, always sharing the intention, will and practice with the Party Central Committee.

Then, he also had a photo taken with the educational workers of the provincial Party schools who were invited to the celebrations of the 80th founding anniversary of the Central Cadres Training School, which will be eternally recorded in the history of Party building.

All the participants hardened their will to more creditably and steadfastly carry out the duty of the glorious political school with their great efforts and successes in the educational work, bearing deeper in mind the honor of being committed revolutionaries who are training the reserves of the Party.

The women's soccer teams, who won gold medals in the international games for the honor of the motherland, had a demonstration match to commemorate the 80th founding anniversary of the school.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un watched the match together with the participants in the celebrations.

Prior to the match, he met and warmly congratulated the players and coaches of the National Soccer Team, the winner of the 2026 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup, and the Naegohyang Team who won the trophy in the 2025-2026 AFC Women's Champions League.

He warmly took the trustworthy women players, proud daughters of the motherland, to his arms and had a photo session with them, hoping that they will support the country by winning more gold medals, more brilliant trophies associated with their patriotism.

The conspicuous match started amid high spirit and excitement of the women players honored with great love and trust of the fatherly Marshal.

The match, in which the players displayed high competitive spirit, impressively decorated the end of the celebrations.

At the end of the match, the participants raised roaring cheers of "Hurrah!" as an eruption of their joy and excitement of spending together with the benevolent father dream-like pleasant and happy time that they would recollect in their lifetime.

Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly waved back to the enthusiastically cheering participants, expressing his hope that the pedigree establishments for training the backbone of the WPK, which upheld its glorious history as a ruling party, would achieve more remarkable successes in education and gain higher academic authority.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un's guidance to the supreme political school of the DPRK will be registered in the history of Party building in the new era as a sacred footprints he made to ensure forever the eternal continuity and invincibility of the Juche revolution and usher in the more bright and hopeful era of prosperity before the Party and the country by giving definite precedence to the work for the future of the Party over all other affairs. -0-
