The Monument to Party Founding was erected in the capital city Pyongyang in October Juche 84(1995) on the occasion of the 50th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea.  The tower bodies are 50 metres high. They depict a hammer, a sickle and a writing brush grabbed by a worker, a farmer and an intellectual.  Carved in relief on the girdle surrounding the tower bodies is the slogan "Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea Which Organizes and Guides All Victories of the Korean People!".  The Monument to Party Founding was built at the proposal of the great leader Kim Jong Il and under his energetic leadership.  Lecturer Ri Un Sim at the Monument to Party Founding Management Station says:  "The Monument to Party Founding was set up under the meticulous guidance of the great Kim Jong Il, ranging from the selection of its site to its details and depiction.  In July 1994 Kim Jong Il examined a tentative plan for building the Monument to Party Founding. He gave guidance to the monument on more than 40 occasions in order to build it into a monumental structure.  Under his leadership the monument could be wonderfully built in a little over one year."  On October 5, Juche 84(1995), just before its inauguration, Kim Jong Il came out to the spot and said the Monument to Party Founding is a symbol of the Workers' Party of Korea and a symbol of the single-hearted unity of the society in which the entire people are firmly united around the Party and the leader with one mind and purpose.  The Monument to Party Founding is unique in form. Three structures of hammer, sickle and writing brush symbolizing the component of the WPK are standing vertically and surrounded by round band.  It represents the eternal features of the WPK achieving the single-hearted unity with the leader and the masses.
