The party conference was briefed about the work and activities of the provincial party committee and a report said that “the sacred history of the WPK shines as a glorious chronicle which has hewed out the unique road for building a revolutionary party and won only the great victory in the history of the country thanks to the outstanding idea and leadership of Kim Il Sung (Kim Il-so’ng), Kim Jong Il (Kim Cho’ng-il), and Marshal Kim Jong Un (Kim Cho’ng-u’n).”  Speakers at the party conference referred to “their wise leadership and its vitality” and expressed “their resolutions to proudly enter the venue of the Seventh Congress of the WPK with gifts of loyalty to be presented to the party.”  Meeting speakers also discussed the province’s contributions to the defense industry, work and activities of the Kim Il Sung Youth League in the province, the activities of its units of the Worker-Peasant Red Guard and Young Red Guards and critical infrastructure projects in South P’yo’ngan including the Namhu’ng Youth Chemical Complex.
