A meeting of workers and members of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK) took place at the Central Hall of Workers in Pyongyang on July 3 to praise the noble virtues of President Kim Il Sung on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of his demise.

Present there were Pak In Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the GFTUK, officials of the GFTUK and workers and members of the GFTUK in Pyongyang.

An epic "Our Eternal Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung" was first recited at the meeting, which highly praised the great life of the popular leader who regarded “The people are God” as his lifetime motto and devoted his all to the country and the people.

And Kim Song Ho, vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the GFTUK, took the floor to say that the warm love and trust and wise leadership of the President, who attached great significance to the position and role of the working class in the revolution and construction and glorified the life of the working class on the highest level, were the key to making the GFTUK faithfully follow the road of loyalty and patriotism.

Other speakers expressed their determination to intensify the drive for increased production for the brighter future of the DPRK and greater happiness of its people, saying that the history of love for the people continues and the people's cherished desire is being translated into a brilliant reality on this land thanks to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is holding the people in high esteem as heaven.
