Attending it were Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Pak Myong Son, vice-premier of the Cabinet, and leading officials of working people's organizations, anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters and women officials, women labor innovators and members of the women's union.

Present there on invitation were overseas Korean women, women of foreign embassies and missions of international organizations here and foreign guests.

Ro Song Sil, chairwoman of the Central Committee of the Democratic Women's Union of Korea, said in her report that the unity and solidarity among the progressive women the world over have been boosted in the struggle for national independence and social development against all forms of domination and subjugation and a great stride forward has been made in the development of the women's movement over the past 100 years since the day was set.

She went on to say:

The Korean women's movement has covered a path of victory and glory in the crucible of the Korean revolution crowded with heroic events and epoch-making changes under the wise leadership of the peerlessly great persons.

President Kim Il Sung set forth an original idea and theory of the women's movement on the basis of the immortal Juche idea at the very day he embarked upon the road of revolution.

Kang Pan Sok, indomitable revolutionary fighter, formed the Anti-Japanese Women's Association, the first revolutionary women's organization in Korea, under the guidance of the President, thus giving origin to the glorious Korean women's movement and enabling the Korean women to wage a dynamic struggle united close around the organization.

The reporter recalled that Kim Jong Suk, anti-Japanese heroine, played a great pioneer's role in combining the Korean women's emancipation movement with an armed struggle, adding that she helped broad sections of women grow to be mistresses of the country and staunch revolutionaries in the period of building a new country, too.

The President founded the Democratic Women's Union of Korea, a mass political organization of Korean women and personally worked out the law on sexual equality and promulgated it after the liberation of the country.

The reporter referred to the undying feats General Secretary Kim Jong Il has performed by training the women as fighters devotedly defending the leader, women revolutionaries in the era of Songun and developing the Korean women's movement into the Juche-oriented women's movement remaining true to the Party's revolutionary cause of Songun.

She called upon all the women to fully prepare themselves as women revolutionaries working hard to translate Kim Jong Il's idea for a great surge and his far-reaching plan into realities.
