First, data on the Party life of the members of the Party central leadership organ in the first half of the year were informed.

Listening to the data, the members of the leadership organ seriously looked back on their Party life in an all-round way with the remorse for failing to live up to the expectations of all the Party members and other people who trust them as the cores of the WPK and expect them to strive to carry out the important tasks in a responsible manner.

He taught in detail what readiness and work attitude the members of the leadership organ should take to fulfil their historic mission and how they should strive to cultivate themselves ideologically, spiritually, culturally and morally.

The General Secretary stressed the need for the members of the leadership organ to draw a serious lesson from defects revealed in the first half of the year, bear deep in mind again the ideals of "The People Are God", single-minded unity and self-reliance set forth at the Party congress with the plenary meeting as an occasion and redouble their efforts with higher awareness to fully discharge their responsibilities and duties.

He said that in order to do so, they should be genuine revolutionaries who thoroughly accept and implement without fail the decisions of the Party Central Committee in whatever difficult circumstances and devote themselves without hesitation to defending the true nature of the Party just like the preceding generations of the revolution.

He earnestly asked the members of the leadership organ to make every occasion of going among the people an important political work of deepening the ties of kinship between the Party and the popular masses and giving confidence and encouragement to the people with a resolution to work heart and soul to bring benefits of socialist system ever closer to the people and with a commitment not to do anything that goes against the interests of the people.

Saying that the people who should take the lead in making the Party fulfill its duty as the militant general staff of the revolution and making it the one serving the people are the members of the Party central leadership organ, he ardently called upon them to devote all their wisdom and passion to thoroughly carrying out the major policy tasks discussed and decided at the plenary meeting without an inch of deflection.

The plenary meeting discussed the organizational issue as the eighth agenda item.

It recalled and by-elected members and alternate members of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee and members and alternate members of the Party Central Committee and dismissed and appointed senior officials of the state organ.

The General Secretary concluded the plenary meeting.

Saying that the plenary meeting was able to successfully perform its work and fulfil its historic and important duty thanks to the ardent participation and boundless responsibility of the members of the Party central leadership organ, he expressed thanks to all the members of the leadership organ for taking an active and sincere part in the discussion of the overall work of the Party and the state throughout the plenary meeting.

The General Secretary solemnly swore on behalf of the WPK Central Committee that the Party will surely break through head-on the difficulties lying in the way of the revolution in the indomitable fighting spirit and remain loyal to the revolutionary idea and cause of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il to the end without the slightest deviation whatever severer difficulties it may be confronted with in the future.

All the participants in the plenary meeting, extending boundless gratitude to the General Secretary who provided immortal guidelines and a powerful practical weapon for vigorously leading the Korean-style socialism to progress and development with his extraordinary wisdom, insight, ceaseless thinking and devotion and instilled firm confidence and unbounded inspiring power in all the Party members and the people, broke into stormy applause and enthusiastic cheers reflecting their pledge of loyalty to single-mindedly and devotedly uphold the General Secretary's idea and leadership.
