In the period under review, the WPK set forth the Juche-oriented line and policy in every stage of the development of revolution amid the unprecedented serious atmosphere and dynamically advanced the revolution and construction by relying on the people and thus achieved the brilliant victory in accomplishing the cause of socialism and ushered in a fresh era of the country's prosperity, he said, and went on:

The WPK organized and aroused all party members and other people to accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche, holding fast to the banner of the great Juche idea and the Songun revolutionary line.

The WPK has worked hard to advance the socialist cause under the unprecedented trials and difficulties.

Under the grim situation, the WPK firmly adhered to the independent stand against imperialism and the socialist principle relying on the might of arms under the uplifted banner of Songun and thus led with confidence our revolution to victory.

As required by the prevailing situation and the developing revolution, the WPK advanced the strategic line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of nuclear force and worked hard for its implementation.

Thanks to the dynamic struggle waged by the army and people of the DPRK to carry out the strategic line of the party, a sure guarantee was provided for victoriously concluding the confrontation against imperialism and the U.S. and accelerating the final victory of our cause.

Kim Jong Un said that in the period under the review shining victory was made in the socialist construction and an eternal foundation for the prosperity of the country was provided. He went on:

The WPK built the political and ideological power and invincible military power in which all the people are united in single mind.

By giving definite precedence to ideological education and political work with main stress consistently placed on ideology, our party brought up all the party members and other people to be steadfast revolutionary fighters who enshrined the firm faith that our party and system, our idea and cause are the best.

Regarding it as its strategic line to attach importance to youth throughout the period of leading the revolution, the WPK has trained the young people as successors to the revolution who carry forward the blood line of Juche, thus building the youth power without an equal in the world.

A spectacular success made by the WPK is that it has implemented the Songun revolutionary line, the military line of self-defence, thus turning the country into an invincible military power.

A great world-startling development has been achieved in the fields of national defence industry and national defence science and technology.

The climate of attaching importance to the army and military affairs has been created throughout the society and a turn effected in rounding off the combat preparations of the militia forces.

A big stride has been made in the economic and cultural construction.

Raw materials, fuel and power bases of the self-supporting economy have been reinforced and Juche-based production processes introduced into core fields and the structure of industrial sectors further improved.

A successful innovation was witnessed in the development of communications service and production processes, technical equipment and operation means have been further modernized in various fields including transport and building-materials industry.

A high-pitched campaign for bringing about a radical turn in seed selection, potato farming, double cropping and scientific farming was waged in the field of agriculture to provide a guarantee for increasing grain production.

Modern stock-breeding bases, fish farms, vegetable greenhouses, mushroom farms and vast thriving orchards were built across the country.

In fisheries a campaign for carrying out the Party's idea of creating a new history of sea of gold has been waged to make a breakthrough in the development of the fishing industry.

Technical updating and the work for ensuring the local supply of raw and other materials has been positively conducted in factories and enterprises in the field of light industry to ensure increased production and supply of quality consumer goods for people.

Many monumental edifices representing the era of the Workers' Party to which the Juche-oriented architectural idea was applied were built to lay a solid foundation for socialist economic construction and improvement of the people's living standards.

Able scientists and technicians grew in number while the material and technical foundation for the scientific researches was consolidated despite economic hardship, bringing about radical development of the science and technology.

Fresh progress was made in the education as required by the IT era with the enforcement of the universal 12-year compulsory education and the establishment of the remote education system.

The Breast Tumor Institute of the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital, the Okryu Children's Hospital, the Ryugyong Dental Hospital and other modern medical institutions were built and the national telemedicine network was set up to improve the medical care of the people.

Hot wind of sports surged across the country and sports facilities were remodeled to bring about a new turn in the sports development.

In the period under review an example of Songun culture was set by the Korean People's Army while the State Merited Chorus, pride of our country, and many other art troupes discharged their role as a bugler sounding the revolutionary advance. Multi-part film "The Nation and Destiny" and the grand gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang" were acknowledged as the successful pieces of Juche-oriented literature and arts and the world-class masterpieces, and the brisk mass-based cultural and performing activities by the servicepersons and working people made the revolutionary optimism pervade whole society.

The drive for turning cities, rural areas, streets and villages into socialist fairyland was waged and various scenic spots and bases for cultural and emotional life were successfully spruced up to improve the conditions and environment for cultural life of the people..

Kim Jong Un stressed that the master key to all victories and successes achieved by the party and people in carrying out the revolutionary cause of Juche in the period under review lies in having struggled under the wise guidance of the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, holding them in high esteem as leaders, and successfully carried forward their revolutionary cause generation after generation.

The WPK has faithfully carried forward and developed the ideas and cause of the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, holding them in high esteem as eternal leaders of our party and revolution on the basis of the unshakable revolutionary faith and sense of moral obligation, he said.

He stressed that the WPK which has traversed the victorious road over the past several decades is the dignified and glorious party blessed with the illustrious leaders and is always sure to triumph as it successfully carries forward their ideas and leadership.
