It said:

The Seventh Congress of the WPK is to be held in Pyongyang in early May.

The DPRK has turned into a power independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence with a long history of victorious development thanks to the wise leadership of the WPK founded on Oct. 10, 1945.

The WPK closely rallied all the people around the leader, pursued Songun politics in all fields to defend socialism and laid down a foundation for building a thriving nation despite hardships and difficulties unprecedented in history.

It is pushing forward the building of an economic power and a highly civilized socialist country under the leadership of First Secretary Kim Jong Un.

Monumental edifices have been built up across the country and the national power has been fully demonstrated through the successful launch of earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-4 in February following the success in H-bomb test in January.

The Seventh Congress of the WPK to be held against this background will mark a fresh historical occasion to unfold a blueprint for building a thriving socialist nation.
