Attending it were Choe Ryong Hae, secretary of the C.C., the Workers' Party of Korea, officials and members of the trade unions, working people in Nampho City.

The statement issued by a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army was read out to be followed by speeches at the meeting.

The speakers bitterly denounced the group of traitors for perpetrating such hideous provocation as hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, not content with rubbing salt into the wounds of the people in the bitterest grief over the loss of the father of the nation and staging war drills.

The compatriots cannot live under the same sky with the group of traitors who committed such high treason, they said, adding:

Those who hurt the dignity of the DPRK supreme leadership even a bit will find no breathing spell in the world.

No matter how reckless the traitors may go, they cannot do any harm to the great dignified idea and social system in the DPRK.

The workers and members of the trade unions will resolutely protect the authority of the great men of Mt. Paektu, a symbol of the dignity and invincibility of Songun Korea and an eternal mental mainstay of the Sun's nation, and devotedly defend the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea headed by the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

They vowed to bring about great innovations and leap forward in building a thriving nation in the spirit of wiping out the group of traitors hell-bent on the confrontation with compatriots.
