The current Congress fully supported and approved the polite proposal for re-electing
Comrade Kim Jong Un as the top leader of the WPK.
This is the historical appraisal of the past five-year struggle, in which epochal changes had been made
with the august name of Comrade Kim Jong Un as the banner of invincibility, and its great fruition
and an expression of the responsible and solemn stand reflecting the choice and will of all the people.
At a turning point in which the noble ideology and ideal our Party has adhered to in its protracted and
sacred history are being translated into gigantic reality and the new era of building a strong and
prosperous state is being ushered in on the path of the Juche revolution, all the Party members and
other people of the country and all servicepersons of the armed forces of the Republic are making a
pledge of loyalty to invariably hold in high esteem Comrade Kim Jong Un as the centre of unity and
leadership, cherishing the immutable truth that the greatness of Kim Jong Un is the guiding power of
our Party, the might of our state and the glory of socialism.
Kim Jong Un is the most prominent statesman who has performed great exploits before the country
and the revolution and on behalf of the times and history by leading our Party and people only to victory
with his rare ideo-theoretical wisdom, distinguished leadership ability and noble popular traits and the
only person who can represent the mightiness and invincibility of the Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea, our great state.
Holding fast to great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the guiding idea of our Party and bringing about a
radical turn in the Party building and activities, he has thoroughly maintained the revolutionary character
of the WPK as the powerful political staff which established the oneness of ideology and leadership
and as an invincible party which has served the people and become a harmonious whole with the
popular masses.
He set forth the five-point Party-building line in the new era and has energetically led the struggle for
its implementation and thus developed the WPK into a party, politically mature, organizationally strong,
ideologically pure, strict in discipline and sound in work style. This is an immortal exploit that provided
a decisive guarantee for building up the political force which powerfully guides the Korean revolution
and socialist construction to upturn and carrying forward the leadership ability of our Party for all ages.
He clarified a new-stage goal for the comprehensive development of our own style socialist construction
and clear programme with obvious possibility and ushered in an era of change and innovations
unprecedented in the history of the Republic with his correct and original revolutionary leadership.
He set forth the scientific fighting policy for the stable development of the self-supporting economy,
brought about precious successes in implementing the five-year plan and developing the overall
economy, laid a solid material foundation for the economic and cultural development and improvement
of the people’s standard of living through a great upsurge in the construction revolution and opened up an eye-opening reality in which the appearance of the country was radically changed in a short span of
time.
It is the historic exploit that can be achieved only by Kim Jong Un that the gigantic revolution started
to eliminate the backwardness of regions and rural areas, which had remained as the fetters of
development for a long time, and improve the material and cultural environment of the country and the
eternal foundation for comprehensive prosperity has been consolidated as its brilliant fruition.
The epochal results have been made in the healthcare revolution for reconstructing the medical field of
the country in an advanced way and remarkable achievements made in the fields of science, education,
sports, literature and arts one after another. This is the fruition of the outstanding leadership
of Kim Jong Un who has pioneered a high stage of development of the state, guiding all fields
of socialist construction.
Clearly recorded in the history of the Party and the country are the outstanding leadership mode and
sacred annals of the revolutionary activities of Kim Jong Un who has made sure that the might of
single-minded unity with patriotism is steadily displayed, boosting the pride and self-esteem of Koreans
with his great examples, and trained a large contingent of reliable socialist builders and successors
faithful to the country and the revolution through practical struggle.
Kim Jong Un has ensured that the people really benefit from the most advantageous socialist policies,
firmly defended the life and security of the people in any crisis and taken warm care of them. His noble
world of devoted service for the people’s wellbeing is attracting all the people and adding luster to our
motherland as a genuine people’s country.
He has energetically led the work to turn the Korean People’s Army, the pivot of national defence and
pillar of safeguarding peace, into an elite and powerful army and thus built the revolutionary armed
forces capable of coping with any threat of aggression on their own initiative and fully prepared for any
form of war.
The leadership of Kim Jong Un who has strengthened our army into the vanguard ranks supporting
the ideology and cause of the WPK is the driving force that enabled the WPK to dynamically carry out
the epochal great tasks and accelerate the advance of the revolution.
As we hold in high esteem the peerless patriot possessed of the steadfast revolutionary spirit, iron will
and unusual pluck and courage as the top leader, the war deterrence of the country with the nuclear
forces as its pivot has been radically improved and our state has dynamically advanced in the orbit of
prosperity and the future destiny of the country and the people has been reliably guaranteed despite
the stern challenges of history.
With his strong revolutionary principle and extraordinary strategy and through his seasoned external
activities Kim Jong Un has remarkably raised the dignity and prestige of the DPRK, created an international environment favorable for the Korean revolution and made a great contribution to the
common cause of mankind for independence and justice.
He has ushered in a golden age of building the WPK, fully demonstrated the prestige and national
power of Juche Korea and brought a new era of comprehensive socialist construction in which the
people’s ideals and desire are realized. He is the outstanding political activist of the DPRK nobody can
take place, and the most ardent patriot, the prominent representative of the Korean nation, the great
dignity of our Party, state and people and the symbol of all victories and glory.
It is the solemn requirement of the times and history to hold in high esteem Kim Jong Un, who has
enjoyed boundless trust and respect of all the Korean people for his noble sense of mission for the
destiny of the country and people, warm love for them, outstanding political caliber and immortal
exploits, as the top leader of the WPK again.
The Ninth Congress of the WPK decides to elect Kim Jong Un as general secretary of the WPK in
accordance with the unshakable will and unanimous desire of all the delegates, millions of Party
members, all the people and service personnel of the People’s Army for the development of the WPK
and the prosperity of the state.
