Sim Yong Hak, chairman of the AUK Central Committee, made a report.
He said that the 70-year history of the AUK is a proud history in which it has fully demonstrated epoch-making development of Juche-oriented architecture.
He noted that President Kim Il Sung founded the AUK on March 26 1954 and indicated important guidelines to be consistently held fast to in the construction sector and led the union work.
He said that Chairman Kim Jong Il formulated the essence, mission and characteristics of Juche-oriented architecture in his famous work "On Architecture" and gave perfect answers to the theoretical and practical issues arising in the creation of modern architecture.
In the new century of the Juche era, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un has energetically guided the construction sector to bring about epoch-making changes, he noted.
He called on all officials and AUK members to fulfil the responsibility and duty they assume in the worthwhile struggle to usher in a golden age of Juche-oriented architecture.
