He stressed the need to criticize and analyze in depth the evils and defects revealed in every sector in the early period of anti-epidemic war from the developmental point of view and take prompt counter-measures, further perfect the methodology of implanting relevant policies of the Party Central Committee into all sectors and arming them with the policies and reinforce the state unified command system and obedient system. All units and all officials should not allow negligence of the lack of recognition and preparations, willful interpretation and willful action in recognizing and overcoming the graveness of the situation and intensify the education and control to tide over such practices and raise the hot wind of struggle, he added.

He underlined the need to concentrate efforts to preventing the spread of epidemic and curing for the present under the state emergency epidemic prevention situation and simultaneously push ahead with the material and technological preparations to cope with the future threats and challenges in an all-round way, rectify the recently revealed defects, shortcomings and vulnerable points, reinforce the health and epidemic prevention systems so as to make the health crisis facing us at present an opportunity of accelerating the development of the state capacity for epidemic prevention.

Saying that redoubled efforts should be made to stabilize the people's life, he stressed the need to more scrupulously organize the work for providing the living conditions and the supply of daily necessities and make every effort to meet the inhabitants' demand for medical treatment and ensure the conditions for it as much as possible.

The Party organizations at all levels should attach importance to the public trend and voices of the popular masses, timely learn about them and take measures, explain well the justness and scientific accuracy of the emergency steps taken by the Party and the state, enhance their consciousness of crisis and responsibility for the grim state's emergency situation, educate and guide all of them to sincerely fulfil their voluntary duty and overcome the anti-epidemic war with the involvement of all the people by relying on them, he said.

The crisis facing us offered a test board to distinguish between merits and demerits of all working system of our state, he noted, stressing that we should correctly scrutinize all the phenomena of the emergency situation and take measures from the critical and developmental point of view, make the thought and action of all Party organizations, power organs and all sectors of society unconditionally unified with the decisions and orders of the Party Central Committee and maintain unified pace with the Party Central Committee voluntarily and obligatorily in all state activities.

It is imperative to implant again the idea of the Party Central Committee on attaching importance to the Party cells and the role of the Party members into all Party organizations and all Party cells to enhance the core role and vanguard role of the Party members, he said.

In particular, it is necessary to make the cadres lead the Party members and the broad section of the popular masses in the van of the fighting areas and fronts and fight valiantly as scouts and discharge their duty and role as bulletproof walls, he stressed repeatedly.

He affirmed that he would arouse the whole Party like active volcano once again under the state emergency situation to make the tested leadership peculiar to our Party proven before the history and times and fulfil its responsibility and thus defend the wellbeing of the country and the people without fail and demonstrate to the whole world the strength and the spirit of heroic Korea once again. -0-
