Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Pays Congratulatory Visit to Central
Cadres Training School of WPK on Its 80th Founding Anniversary
Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- The Central
Cadres Training School of the Workers' Party of Korea, a prestigious political
school of the WPK and the highest seat of training cadres of the Party, is
proudly marking its 80th founding anniversary in its glorious history.
The Central Cadres Training School has
successfully carried out its strategic and historic duty, entrusted by the
times and the revolution, in the van of accomplishing the sacred cause of
eternally carrying forward the lifeline of the Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Party
and its ever-victorious leadership and firmly guaranteeing the bright prospect
of the Juche cause. Such contribution of the school serves as a solid
cornerstone supporting the immortal dignity and honor of the WPK which is
writing the longest history as a socialist ruling party.
The respected Comrade 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 a congratulatory
visit to the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK marking its 80th
founding anniversary on June 1.
The revolutionary university, which
stands imposingly in the historic Kumsusan area as a symbol of the absolute
prestige of the WPK and the invincibility of our cause, was filled with great
excitement and joy of all its teaching staff and students who had the greatest
honor and happiness of having Comrade Kim Jong Un on its campus on the
significant 80th founding anniversary.
When Comrade Kim Jong Un arrived,
all the participants broke into thunderous cheers of "Hurrah!".
They paid the highest tribute and
gratitude to Comrade Kim Jong Un, the most faithful successor to the
sacred cause of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, the peerlessly great political
master and the great teacher, who visited the school with ardent love, trust
and warm blessing.
Comrade Kim Jong Un was
courteously greeted by Ri Yong Sik, headmaster of the Central Cadres Training
School of the WPK, and Paek Hyong Chol, secretary of its primary committee of
the WPK.
He was presented with bouquets of
fragrant flowers by the school's educational workers.
He warmly congratulated all the teaching
staff and students of the school on its significant 80th founding anniversary
as they are performing brilliant feats with honor by making tangible
contribution to organizational and ideological strengthening of the Party and
its leadership activities through educational practice and scientific
activities and with good scholastic attainments at a time when the new era of
Party building and the great period of national rejuvenation are being ushered
in.
Present at the celebrations were
secretaries and other officials of the Central Committee of the WPK, the
teaching staff and students of the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK
and educational workers and students of the provincial Party schools across the
country.
Present there on invitation were the
veteran educators who made distinguished contributions to training Party
cadres.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un
made a significant speech on the occasion of the 80th founding anniversary of
the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK.
He appreciated the special position and
dignity and the high honor of the Central Cadres Training School, which has
vigorously developed into a reliable cadre-training base of the WPK both in
name and in reality for the past 80 years since it was founded with 80 students
holding in high esteem the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung as its first
headmaster on June 1, 1946, and is now purely glorifying its sacred original
name as a political and educational institution faithfully serving the cause of
Juche-oriented Party building and as a strategic fortress guaranteeing the
existence and development of the Party.
The original idea of founding the school
that it is hard to expect the building of a prosperous state apart from the
core and leading role of the Party cadres and the training of Party cadres
should be put above all other affairs remains an absolute truth even now after
80 years, he said, referring to the strategic intention of the WPK attaching
greater importance to the training of Party cadres and its inevitability at a
time when the socialist construction is in the era of transformation which no
one has ever experienced and the struggle for realizing the people's ideal is
being intensified as never before.
He said that if the Party is to become
strong and the country to develop, the pedigree establishment for training
hard-core cadres of the Party should be firm and the top-ranking talents of our
country should be trained. And he set forth in detail the important principles
and educational and practical directions to be adhered to by the Party
political school in remaining faithful to its character, nature and mission and
training the reserves of the Party into core elements possessed of the Juche
outlook on the revolution, life and morality despite the passage of time and
the steady replacement of generations.
He wished the Central Cadres Training
School of the WPK only glory in the future, ardently calling for making the
glorious moment of today, which marks another significant starting point in the
development of the WPK and the revolution, lead onto the brighter future and
more courageously opening up the great course of party building in the new era.
All the participants, receiving with
boundless excitement the profound guidelines guaranteeing the bright future of
strengthening the whole Party in the new era, broke into enthusiastic cheers
amid a thunderous clapping of hands, expressing their determination to remain
unfailingly faithful to the cause of Juche-oriented party building as the true
personifiers of the red-flag spirit firmly armed with the revolutionary idea of
the Party Central Committee and the standard-bearers of the revolution
steadfastly carrying forward the glory of the Party and guaranteeing its
future.
Comrade Kim Jong Un went round
the room dedicated to the history of the school.
Our cause of Party building has never
experienced a moment of stagnation or frustration even in the years of the
arduous revolution, thanks to the Party cadres training bases which have
invariably served as a nutrition for the Juche-oriented cause of Party building
from the very day of the Party founding, he said, adding that it is the great
pride and strength of the WPK to have such a prestigious educational base and
strong theoretical base as the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK which
is reliably supporting the struggle of the socialist ruling Party while
maintaining the high sense of responsibility for the revolutionary cause,
sincere research attitude and substantial teaching strategy.
He stressed that even though the Party's
revolutionary idea is great and its exploits enormous, it is impossible to
expect the Party's long-term development and steady succession to the
revolutionary cause if the Party fails to successfully train its successors,
and that the Central Cadres Training School should ceaselessly enhance the
leadership and fighting efficiency for the permanent existence and continued
victorious development of the Party and consolidate its eternal prosperity in
conformity with the important mission given by the times and the revolution.
It is the guarantee for invincibility of
the revolutionary Party and the law of its rule to highly value its sacred
first page and steadfastly carry it forward as the history becomes longer and
exploits are accumulated, he said, stressing that the school should steadily
glorify its noble position and duty as the main base and think-tank of the
Party's ideo-theoretical building in the work of intensifying the education and
struggle to maintain and give full play to the Party's original ideals and
determination and qualitatively training the hard-core elements possessed of
the revolutionary climate inherent in the Party as their mental qualities.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un
had a photo taken with the teaching staff of the Central Cadres Training
School, who are devoting their high qualifications as educators, Party
conscience and revolutionary enthusiasm to the sacred school platform related
to the eternal future of the Party, on the occasion of the significant founding
anniversary of the school.
The role of the Central Cadres Training
School of the WPK just means the strengthening and development of the WPK and
the eternal future of the Party building depends on every step of this
political school, he said, expressing expectation and belief that the school
will further strive to strengthen the Party and brilliantly accomplish its
sacred action programs, always sharing the intention, will and practice with
the Party Central Committee.
Then, he also had a photo taken with the
educational workers of the provincial Party schools who were invited to the
celebrations of the 80th founding anniversary of the Central Cadres Training
School, which will be eternally recorded in the history of Party building.
All the participants hardened their will
to more creditably and steadfastly carry out the duty of the glorious political
school with their great efforts and successes in the educational work, bearing
deeper in mind the honor of being committed revolutionaries who are training
the reserves of the Party.
The women's soccer teams, who won gold
medals in the international games for the honor of the motherland, had a
demonstration match to commemorate the 80th founding anniversary of the school.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un
watched the match together with the participants in the celebrations.
Prior to the match, he met and warmly
congratulated the players and coaches of the National Soccer Team, the winner
of the 2026 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup, and the Naegohyang Team who won the
trophy in the 2025-2026 AFC Women's Champions League.
He warmly took the trustworthy women
players, proud daughters of the motherland, to his arms and had a photo session
with them, hoping that they will support the country by winning more gold
medals, more brilliant trophies associated with their patriotism.
The conspicuous match started amid high
spirit and excitement of the women players honored with great love and trust of
the fatherly Marshal.
The match, in which the players
displayed high competitive spirit, impressively decorated the end of the
celebrations.
At the end of the match, the
participants raised roaring cheers of "Hurrah!" as an eruption of
their joy and excitement of spending together with the benevolent father
dream-like pleasant and happy time that they would recollect in their lifetime.
Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly waved
back to the enthusiastically cheering participants, expressing his hope that
the pedigree establishments for training the backbone of the WPK, which upheld
its glorious history as a ruling party, would achieve more remarkable successes
in education and gain higher academic authority.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un's
guidance to the supreme political school of the DPRK will be registered in the
history of Party building in the new era as a sacred footprints he made to
ensure forever the eternal continuity and invincibility of the Juche revolution
and usher in the more bright and hopeful era of prosperity before the Party and
the country by giving definite precedence to the work for the future of the
Party over all other affairs.
