The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) sent an appeal to all the party members, service personnel of the Korean People's Army and other people to achieve a miraculous victory in the operations for recovering from the disaster in the northern areas of North Hamgyong Province by dint of the great single-minded unity in view of the prevailing emergency situation.

The main thrust of the 200-day campaign to glorify this significant year as the one of victors is directed to the sites for recovering from the flood damage in the above-said areas and main units active in major sites are rapidly dispatched to those areas.

Our Party took an important measure of letting the whole Party and army and all people focus all their efforts on the rehabilitation operations. Even the construction of Ryomyong Street nearing completion was suspended and all construction forces, equipment and materials to be used for it are diverted to those operations.

The primary thrust in the rehabilitation campaign is to build dwelling houses for the flood-hit people.

The WPK made this resolute and unwavering decision because it regards the people-first principle as its life and soul.

It is the party representing and protecting the interests of the people and serving them.

The Party's final purpose is to fully realize the independence of the popular masses and the Party regards it as the overriding principle of its activities to steadily improve the people's living standard.

From the very day of its founding the Party has enforced the politics of love and trust with the firm political creed of regarding the people as Heaven.

The people's wishes have been a barometer and starting point of all thinking and practices and the people's voices have been reflected in the Party's lines, policies and action programmes.

The nomenclature, army and many monumental edifices were named after the people and the historic tasks of the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution, socialist revolution and building of a powerful socialist country were successfully carried out in conformity with the people's aspiration and will.

Such people-oriented policies as free medical treatment and free compulsory educational system were consistently enforced even during the Arduous March, the forced march, prompted by the new viewpoint of the WPK that the people's interests precisely mean profitability and no calculation is made in the work for the people.

An important decision was made to build new dwelling houses for those inhabitants whose houses were expected to come under water though the construction of power stations might be hindered and this principle is abided by as a formula in the field of power station construction. This epic of love could be created only by the WPK which is fully responsible for the destiny of the people.

Marshal Kim Jong Un made a classical formulation that Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is, in essence, the people-first principle for the first time in history and is adding shine to the new history of prioritizing, respecting and loving the people on this land with warm loving care.

The slogan "Everything for the people and everything by relying on them!" reflects the will of Kim Jong Un to let the entire Party make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people.

The miracles performed in the drive to recover from the flood damage that hit Rason last year clearly proved in practice that there is no more urgent emergency for the Party than the pain being suffered by the people and no more important revolutionary work than alleviating their misfortune.

The flood-hit people and other people across the country turned out as one in the campaign to recover from the disaster with their absolute trust in the Party.

The WPK will bring the people in the above-said areas a new happier life by working unheard-of miracles in the rehabilitation operations by dint of the great single-minded unity.
