With their great emotion they referred to the immortal revolutionary exploits of Kim Jong Un who achieved the historic great cause of completing the state nuclear forces and guaranteed the prosperity and eternal happiness of all generations of the nation by making the long journey for patriotic devotion and the long journey of frontline accompanying sacrifice.

Noting that the nuclear forces of the Republic are a fruition of the priceless sacrifice and all manner of hardships experienced by our people and a proud crystal of the principled and consistent self-defense line of the Republic government and the gains of our revolution as well as the most reliable and absolute guarantee for defending the human rights and the sovereign rights, they stressed in unison that it is the fair and indispensable legal rights of our state to operate the nuclear forces in conformity with the requirements and interests of our people and the revolution.

Saying that it is our steadfast stand that the building of socialism, the happy life of the people and the bright future of the children are all guaranteed by powerful nuclear forces, they gave full support and approval of the enacting of the policy on the nuclear forces as a state law.
