It was in July 1946 when the 8th Enlarged Executive Meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of North Korea was held.

That day a person stood up in the middle of the meeting hall and asked Kim Il Sung… I was told that a party to be founded represents interests of working masses. Then, why is the party called the Workers’ Party? Workers’ Party means a party of workers, doesn’t it?

Wearing smile on his face, Kim Il Sung explained… People usually think that working is made only by those in factories or mines. However, you should not think this is the only reason. Not only workers but peasants work. Officials also work in a mental way. The party we are going to found is an organization of progressive elements among workers, peasants and working intellectuals who participate in working. That is why we are going to call it the Workers’ Party.

Then all the participants in the meeting had a correct understanding of the Party’s name. They unanimously expressed their absolute support to the Party’s name, saying that Kim Il Sung’s explanation is correct.
