It is important to explain again the idea of the Party Central Committee on attaching importance to the cells and the role of Party members among the party organizations at all levels and the cells of the whole Party so that the Party members can enhance their pivotal and leading role.

The senior officials, in particular, should bravely fight as scouts leading the Party members and other broad masses of people in the van of struggle and fully discharge their duty and role as the bullet-proof walls.

Kim Jong Un affirmed that the whole Party would be aroused like an active volcano once again in the state emergency situation to prove its seasoned leadership ability peculiar to the WPK before the history and times and discharge its responsibility and thus safeguard the well-being of the country and people and demonstrate all over the world the strength and spirit of heroic Korea again.
