Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) — The Fourth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea was held with splendor in Pyongyang from September 11 to 18, 1961.
After reviewing with high pride the brilliant successes achieved by the Party and the people for five years since the Third Congress of the WPK, President Kim Il Sung set forth the grand programme of the First Seven-Year Plan for the Development of the National Economy (1961-1967), a bright blueprint for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, and the tasks for further strengthening the Party organizationally and ideologically and enhancing its leadership role.
He said at the congress that in order to successfully carry out the First Seven-Year Plan, we should firmly adhere to the Party’s line of giving priority to the growth of the heavy industry while simultaneously developing the light industry and agriculture and developing science and culture in an overall way. He also said that to reeducate and unite the broad masses of people is a priority issue our Party has to deal with. And he clarified other important tasks to be accomplished in developing the Korean revolution onto a new high stage.
The Fourth Party Congress was a meeting of victors that reviewed the completion of laying foundations for socialism, a meeting of unity that eliminated factionalism which had existed for a very long time and demonstrated the invincible might of the whole Party firmly united behind the President, and a historic meeting that set forth a grand programme for completing the socialist industrialization and building socialism comprehensively.
