The members of the Workers’ Party of Korea have turned out in the responsible struggle for turning the areas afflicted by terrible natural disasters into the people's ideal land by putting into perfect practice the gigantic blueprint unveiled by the great Party Central Committee to turn adversity into favourable situation.

Since the important news on the 22nd emergency enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth WPK Central Committee was reported, all the Party organizations at all levels have been filled with their members' enthusiasm for volunteering. In Pyongyang and all provinces, regiments of Party members to be dispatched to the disaster-afflicted areas are being rapidly organized amid the high militant zeal of all the Party members.

The Party members throughout the country, touched by the untiring efforts of General Secretary Kim Jong Un who unfolded a far-reaching plan for completely face-lifting the flood-hit areas beyond recognition, not merely for rehabilitation, signed their names on the lists of the Party members' regiments.

A meeting of the Pyongyang Municipal Regiment of Party Members to be dispatched for the rehabilitation projects in the flood-hit areas took place on August 5 amid the ever-growing extraordinary revolutionary consciousness of all Party members.

Commanding personnel and men of the regiment to be dispatched to the flood-hit areas lined up at the plaza of Pyongyang Indoor Stadium.

Present there were Pak Thae Song, secretary of the WPK Central Committee, Pak Jong Gun, vice-premier of the Cabinet and chairman of the State Planning Commission, Kim Su Gil, chief secretary of the Pyongyang Municipal Committee of the WPK, and officials of the Party and power organs and officials and working people of industrial establishments in the municipality.

The national anthem of the DPRK was played.

Kim Su Gil made a report.

He referred to the great devotion of the General Secretary, who has made tireless efforts for the sake of the people, visiting remote and rough disaster-stricken areas to relieve the people of their sufferings as soon as possible.

It is the mission and revolutionary duty of the Party members to always find themselves before others in the most difficult and seriously damaged areas and inject vitality into the advancing ranks by playing a bold vanguard role, he stressed.

Saying that the struggle of the WPK members will bring about another miracle in demonstrating the might of the people-first politics in the sacred history of the genuine Party for the people, the WPK, the reporter ardently called for transforming the northwestern area of the country into paradise of happiness and high civilization and making a report of loyalty and victory to the General Secretary.

Oath-taking speeches were made at the meeting.

Speakers expressed their firm determination to courageously struggle in the van of the reconstruction campaign in the flood-stricken areas, saying that for the Party members who solemnly vowed to be boundlessly loyal to the ideology and leadership of the Party, nothing is more sacred or honourable than to find their jobs in the flood-hit areas before others in response to the call of the General Secretary.

A message of pledge to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was adopted.

All the commanding officers and men of the regiment made a solemn vow to clearly show the true picture of the country that makes strenuous advance and leaps forward in the face of crises and difficulties and give a report of victory to the Party Central Committee by fully displaying the bravery and mettle of Party members of the capital city in the flood-hit areas where rehabilitation projects are underway.

Pak Thae Song presented the flag of the regiment to its commanding personnel.

At the end of the meeting, members of the regiment launched a demonstration march, preceded by their regiment flag, with a single desire to faithfully uphold the ideas and leadership of the General Secretary through patriotic practice.

Along the streets of Pyongyang, citizens warmly encouraged the honourable ranks, waving hands and presenting bouquets and letters of encouragement to them.
