[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, emphasized dedication to the people and ideological education to the primary party secretaries, who are responsible for the party's grassroots organizations, according to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 1st.

At the closing ceremony of the 2nd Primary Party Secretaries Conference of the Workers' Party held in Pyongyang on the 28th of last month, General Secretary Kim stated, "The people's party, the servant party, this is the sole justification for our party's existence, the highest symbol, and the eternal essence."

General Secretary Kim pointed out, "The basic attitude expected of today's primary party secretaries is to promote the convenience and livelihood of the people to the utmost, cutting away their own flesh and bone without distinction between difficult and easy tasks."

At the same time, he instructed to strengthen ideological education for cadres, party members, and residents. Kim said, "First, it is to reform people's ideological consciousness, and second, to realize our party's policies for improving the people's welfare," emphasizing, "While economic stagnation and regression can be recovered, stagnation and regression in educational work will ultimately bring irreparable consequences."

He also called for innovation among the primary party secretaries. Kim stated, "There are still considerable serious shortcomings in the work of primary party secretaries," and added, "All primary party secretaries must thoroughly overcome inherent negative factors and innovate their work in accordance with the intentions of the Party Central Committee and the demands of realistic development."

At the closing ceremony, Kim personally awarded commendation certificates from the General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea to about 50 primary party secretaries who showed exemplary performance and took commemorative photos. It has been 5 years and 2 months since North Korea last convened a Primary Party Secretaries Conference.
