Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, paid congratulatory visits to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office of the DPRK on November 18 on the occasion of their 80th anniversaries.

The officials of the judicial and prosecutors offices were filled with great joy and excitement as they would greet the most honourable and glorious moment to be cherished by them all their lives at the time when they were looking back with pride upon the brilliant history in which they have staunchly defended the cause of the Party in the long historic journey with their invaluable reputation as reliable personnel legally defending the Party, the revolution, the socialist system and the lives and property of the people.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was greeted respectfully by senior officials of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office on the spot.

When he arrived, the participants broke into thunderous cheers of "Hurrah!" with great emotion of receiving the supreme representative of the mightiness and dignity of the great state in their institutions.

There were ceremonies of hoisting the national flag of the DPRK.

Kim Jong Un conveyed congratulatory messages to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office on the occasion of the 80th founding anniversaries of the judicial and prosecutors offices.

On the occasion of the significant founding anniversaries of the prestigious law enforcement organs of the DPRK, he warmly congratulated and encouraged all the officials of the judicial and prosecutors offices who are devoting themselves to carrying out the important revolutionary duties of defending the state and the people with the sacred legal right granted by the Party.

He said that since the judicial and prosecutors offices of the DPRK were founded as the fortress for securing the people's power and the legal weapons for building a democratic, independent and sovereign state at the time of building a new Korea, they have developed into powerful law enforcement organs of the socialist state, adorning the whole course of 80 years with glorious merits true to the Party's Juche-oriented ideas on judicial and procuratorial work.

The annals of our revolution, which brought about the precious victories and miraculous successes unprecedented in history, are clearly associated with the feats of the judicial and prosecution officials who have devoted themselves to accomplishing the socialist cause, sacrificing their all in the difficult legal struggle both in grim days and peaceful days, he said. It is the great pride of our Party to have such upright and powerful ranks of law enforcement officials, he added.

The period of comprehensive development of our state, which marks a great watershed in socialist construction with gigantic changes and steady leaps, is also a new heyday for the judicial and prosecutors offices, he said, stressing the need for their officials to remain faithful to their class duty as defenders of the Party, the revolution, the country, the people and the socialist system and produce tangible results in the work for the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people, bearing deep in mind a keen sense of heavy mission and responsibility they have assumed before the times and history.

He had photos taken with them, expressing his expectations and belief that all the officials of the judicial and prosecutors offices would further strengthen the socialist legal system and usher in a heyday in establishing Juche orientation in justice system by thoroughly applying the ideas of the WPK and thus continue to perform valuable feats and display honour in the sacred struggle to firmly defend the DPRK’s ideology, system and single-hearted unity.

All the participants chanted the slogan of single-hearted loyalty in reflection of the unshakable pledge to further glorify the honourable history and tradition of laying solid legal foundations for building the dignified state under the leadership of the great Party and to reliably guarantee by law the socialist construction which is developing onto a new stage of upsurge.
