The 5th Political Bureau Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea took place at the office building of the Party Central Committee on December 1.
Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the WPK, was present at the meeting.
The meeting was attended by members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee and members and alternate members of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee.
The meeting discussed the issue of convening the 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th WPK Central Committee.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un presided over the meeting.
General Secretary Kim Jong Un referred to the fact that the major policy targets decided at the 8th Party Congress have been pushed forward forcefully and militantly all the year round, thanks to the correct guidance of the Party Central Committee though difficulties still lie in developing the country’s economy.
He said that it is very encouraging that the positive changes were made in the overall state affairs, including politics, the economy, culture, and national defence, as evidenced by the stable management of the state economy and big successes made in the agricultural and construction sectors prioritized by the Party, adding that every field accumulated valuable experiences needed for the future development in this course.
Saying that such successes show that the overall affairs that had been planned to lay a foundation for the economic development of the country and the improvement of the people’s living standards have been vigorously pushed forward and that they give self-confidence in a fresh victory of the Korean-style socialism, he noted that the appraisal of this year by the Party Central Committee is that it is the one of victory in general.
Noting that next year will be an important one as we should wage a very giant struggle as much as we did this year, he said that the Party Central Committee should work out the plans for the new year well to be dynamic, onward, scientific and detailed, and consolidate the foundation for implementing the five-year plan.
He gave assignments for the preparation of the plenary meeting.
The Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee adopted a resolution on convening the 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Party Central Committee late in December and discussed what to put on the agendas of the plenary meeting.
