The Workers’ Party of Korea convened various meetings on several occasions this year.

The meetings of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee that were made public alone have numbered seven until now.

Their main theme was to intensify the national emergency anti-epidemic work. Also put on the agenda were the issues of developing the country’s chemical industry, guaranteeing the living of citizens in the capital city and speeding up the construction of the Pyongyang General Hospital aimed at providing the people with top-quality medical services.

A new item “repairing of flood damage” was added to the agenda of the meetings held in August.

Because different areas of the country suffered great damage at the same time from successive floods and typhoons from August to early September.

As a result, the DPRK was faced with two challenges: the anti-epidemic work in the current world health crisis and the rehabilitation campaign against unexpected natural disasters.

The 16th meeting of the Political Bureau of the Seventh Central Committee of the WPK and the 17th enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Seventh WPK Central Committee held respectively on August 13 and 25 set forth immediate tasks for completing the rehabilitation campaign in the main and providing the local victims with a stable life by October 10 through the joint operation of the army and people.

The Executive Policy Council of the Party Central Committee convened an enlarged meeting on the spot on September 5 to organize a campaign to repair damage from Typhoon Maysak and the sixth enlarged meeting of the Seventh Central Military Commission of the WPK took place on September 8 to take national measures for restoring the Komdok area in South Hamgyong Province badly damaged by the typhoon which hit the east coastal areas and some northern inland areas of the country.

The meetings particularly highlighted the complete prevention of loss of life from flood and typhoon.

They also stressed the need to make the rehabilitation campaign an occasion for providing local people with better living environment, not confining it to recovery from damage or the restoration of living conditions.

The meetings pervaded with warm affection for the people showcased the revolutionary character of the WPK which takes full responsibility for the destiny of the people and warm care of them, regarding the improvement of their living standards as the cardinal principle in its activities.

Since it was founded unfurling its red flag bearing a hammer, a sickle and a writing brush, the WPK has never been separated from the people, but always held them in highest esteem and relied on them as it has advanced the revolution.

In the new century of the Juche era, the Party put forward the idea of giving top and absolute priority to the people’s interests and has held up the slogan of “Everything for the people and everything by relying on them!”

Under its leadership geared to translating the people’s dreams and ideals into reality at an early date, modern structures, pleasure grounds and holiday camps were built in different parts of the country in recent years alone and people-oriented policies continue to be in force even at the present hard time.

A series of plans had been carried on to celebrate the holiday with splendour from the outset of the year, but the unexpected health crisis and natural calamities compelled the WPK to arouse its members and all other people to the anti-epidemic and rehabilitation campaigns.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un looked round Taechong-ri in Unpha County, North Hwanghae Province, and South Hwanghae and South Hamgyong provinces hit by floods and typhoons and said that we should not get the flood victims to greet the October holiday in the open but repair the flood damage as early as possible and stabilize their life. He described today’s rehabilitation campaign as a struggle for defending the country and people and specified tasks and ways for the campaign. And on September 5 he wrote an open letter appealing to the Party members in Pyongyang to take the lead in the campaign for restoring North and South Hamgyong provinces hit by Maysak. In hearty response to his patriotic appeal, the whole nation turned out.

October 10 is drawing nearer, the tasks to be carried out are enormous and there is not enough time.
