A national meeting was held at the People’s Palace of Culture on March 8, the 115th March 8 International Women’s Day.

Present there were Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, first vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly, and other senior Party and government officials, officials of the Central Committee of the women’s union, and exemplary women officials, labour innovators and women’s union members in Pyongyang.

On hand were women from foreign diplomatic missions in the DPRK.

Choe Ryong Hae made a report.

Upon authorization of the WPK Central Committee and the DPRK government, the reporter extended congratulations to the women innovators and meritorious women who are performing brilliant feats at their revolutionary posts, fully conscious of being proud masters of the times, and to the mothers and all other women across the country who are devoting their all to the good growth of their children and the harmony and prosperity of the large socialist family.

He also extended congratulations and solidarity to the overseas Korean women who are devoting their unsparing patriotic sincerity to the prosperity of their socialist homeland with the pride and honour of being overseas citizens of the dignified DPRK, and to the world progressive women, international women's movement organizations, and women organizations and dear friends in different countries and regions who are pooling their will and efforts in the righteous struggle for independence, peace and international justice.

He said that the Korean women have grown to be a powerful force propelling the development of the state and society, thanks to the politics of attaching importance to the women pursued by the peerlessly great men, who saved the women, who had been subject to social restraints and inequality for thousands of years, from their miserable destiny and brought them up to be revolutionaries and patriots and led them to glorify their life as flowers of families, life and the country.

In the new era of the Juche revolution, the Korean women’s movement is ushering in a new heyday of development and upsurge and the dignity and honour of our women are being demonstrated more strikingly, the reporter said, adding that the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is making a new history of trust and affection for women with his noble intention that the development of the state is accelerated and the harmony and unity of society are consolidated when the position and role of women are enhanced.

Noting that the present era of bringing about a great change to be specially recorded in the history of the development of the DPRK by our own efforts and in our own way requires more active and creative activities of our women, he called upon all the women to make innovative successes with diligent and sincere efforts at the revolutionary posts entrusted by the Party and the country, to positively put their children at the posts of national defence, to dedicate all patriotic efforts to the work for aiding the People’s Army and strengthening the national defence capabilities, and to take the lead in creating Korean-style civilization.

He called on the women's union to make its organizations communist groups imbued with the revolutionary ideology of Kim Jong Un and united with loyalty, patriotism, faith and obligation, and to prepare its members as women revolutionaries with noble mental and moral traits.

The DPRK government will steadily enhance the position and role of women in the course of building a powerful country and more widely and more dynamically conduct the work for providing a happier and civilized life, he said, affirming that our cause towards a new victory will dynamically advance thanks to the reliable and laudable women who are displaying noble spirit and mettle with the sense of heavy mission for the development of families and society and for the coming generations.
