Expressing his feelings of visiting the old home, where the ever-victorious history of the WPK started and the supreme General Staff of the Korean revolution which led the start towards a powerful socialist country was situated, ahead of the 80th founding anniversary of the WPK, he paid the most ennobling tribute to President Kim Il Sung and the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners who pioneered the original road of building a revolutionary party during the bloody struggle for liberating the country, accomplished the historic cause of founding the Party and laid a solid cornerstone for its durable existence and victorious development.

Looking back upon the decades of Party founding and inheritance at this special and auspicious moment of greeting its 80th anniversary at the watershed of new development and prosperity will serve as an occasion for renewing the understanding and awareness of the revolutionary obligations and duties of our generation, who have to reach without fail the finish line of the socialist cause that was started and advanced by the forerunners, he said.

Noting that the 80-year history of our Party is so great not only because it was founded in an original way but also because it etched in its banner the socialist ideals of achieving the independence of masses and invariably held fast to it, he enunciated the journey peculiar to the WPK which has pioneered an original road of socialist construction from the first day of its founding, with the Juche idea and self-sustenance and self-determination, i.e. believing in the people and relying on their strength, from A to Z, the key secret behind the Party’s recording of the longest ruling history in the history of the socialist movement, the main characteristics of party building and the prominent exploits it has recorded in the human history of political parties.

Saying that the ability of courageous leadership and mode of struggle of the WPK which formed the purest, the most powerful ideological lineage and the revolutionary traditions peculiar to it and left the immutable truth about victory and valuable spiritual assets in the course of turning adversities and trials into victory and miracles are illuminating the road of victory and glory to be followed by the present generation and rising generation, he indicated the ideals and prospective goal of the WPK in building a state and developing the Party, the orientation of struggle to realize them and overall principles in the comprehensive development period which can be called the second era of nation building.

Saying that it is a proud thing to recall the course the Party has followed from one century to the next at this historic house where the Party was founded and to make a pledge to give steady continuity to the great course for all ages, he affirmed that the Party Founding Museum would shine forever as the sacred sanctuary which carries on the lineage of the WPK and its ever-victorious tradition for all ages.

When he finished his speech, all the participants paid the greatest tribute to him, raising the thunderous cheers of "Hurrah!" out of their boundless respect for and trust in the outstanding leader of the Juche revolution who is ushering in the great heyday of Party building in the new era and the socialist cause with his profound ideological and theoretical activities and energetic leadership practice.

The important speech made by Kim Jong Un serves as the immortal revolutionary programme and the banner of vigorous advance as it clarified the guidelines for the WPK to firmly carry forward forever the noble political ideal the Party had put forth in the initial days when it was founded and to further demonstrate its might as the most dignified socialist ruling party which has taken the deep root in the masses of the people.

Kim Jong Un looked round with deep emotion various places of the museum.

Saying that the eternity and invincibility of the vitality and leadership ability of the Party depends on how its noble original ideals and revolutionary nature are preserved and glorified as the revolution achieves victory after victory, he stressed that our Party should cherish more deeply the noble sense of responsibility and mission for the destiny of the country and the people and powerfully lead the state and the people to a fresh peak of victory and glory with enthusiastic spirit and inexhaustible vitality free from decrepitude and discolouration, maintaining its purity, even though a generation is replaced by another.

Expressing the belief that officials, lecturers and employees of the museum would as ever remain faithful to their duty as powerful information workers and educators, who acquaint the masses with the glorious history and tradition of our Party, with the pride and honour of defending the sacred place associated with the Party building exploits of the President, he had a photo session with them.

All the participants pledged to carry forward the lineage and immortal reputation of the WPK for all ages by thoroughly implementing the original Party-building idea and line of Kim Jong Un, cherishing the boundless loyalty to the revolution and spirit of making selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people, displayed by the pioneer generation of the cause of Party building, as their lifeblood.
