A Pyongyang city rally took place at Kim Il Sung Square Wednesday to vow to carry through the decisions of the 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

The platform of the rally was taken by Kim Tok Hun, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and premier of the Cabinet.

The 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th WPK Central Committee proudly reviewed the first year's work for implementing the decisions of the Party Congress and set forth the grand fighting goal and tasks for glorifying this year as a great watershed in the revolutionary development and a new programme for the socialist rural construction, the reporter noted, saying:

This is the great patriotic call made by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and it is a fighting slogan that should be cherished deep in the minds of all the people out in the struggle to carry out the tasks set forth at the plenary meeting of the Party Central Committee.

Saying that 2022 is a significant year marking the 110th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung and the 80th birth anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il and a year of great importance in the historic struggle toward a rosy tomorrow, the reporter called on all the officials, Party members, working people and other citizens in the city to defend the Party Central Committee politically, ideologically and at the cost of their lives and glorify this significant year as a year of great revolutionary events to be etched in the history of the DPRK, cherishing the high pride and sense of duty as citizens of the capital.

He stressed that though the tasks for this year are enormous and manifold difficulties disturb the Korean people's advance, greater glory is in store for them as the great Party is always with them and the ever-victorious banner of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism leads them to a fresh victory.
