Kim Jong Un, chairman of the WPK, made the report on the work of the Central Committee of the Party.
The report on the work of the Central Committee of the Party is a great practical programme as it admits subjective and objective factors checking our advance and serious mistakes under the prevailing internal and external situation and indicates clear struggle tasks and ways for innovating overall work of the Party and the state and switching the socialist cause to the next stage of victory.
The gist of the report which clearly indicates the path of the Korean revolution at the present stage is that it is necessary to strengthen our own power and our own driving force in every way and make a clear advance by boldly overcoming the existing threats and challenges and making a new leap forward in the construction of our own-style socialism.

1. Achievements made in the period under review
2. For an epoch-making advance in socialist construction
3. For the independent reunification of the country and development of external relations
4. For the development of the Party work
Kim Jong Un in a preface of his report generally mentioned the guidance provided by the Central Committee of the Party during the period under review for fulfilling its heavy yet honorable mission given at the 7th Congress of the WPK.
1. Achievements made in the period under review
The report firstly reviewed the successes achieved in embodying the politics based on the people-first doctrine in the period under review.
During the period under review the Party Central Committee has made remarkable successes in consolidating the single-minded unity of the Party and the people as firm as a rock and building up the driving force of the socialist cause and enhancing its role by putting forward the politics based on the people-first doctrine as a fundamental issue and a main political mode decisive of the survival or ruin of the Party and the victory or failure of socialism and by vigorously and consistently unfolding it.
"Everything for the people and everything by relying on them!", this was a core of leadership idea to which the Party Central Committee has held fast without an inch of deflection and slightest concession during the period under review.
Through intensive endeavors for thoroughly making the people-first doctrine run through the Party and state activities, the Party Central Committee uninterruptedly carried out the struggle for eliminating all kinds of unpopular factors laying obstacles in realizing it.
When establishing and putting into practice its line and policies, the Party consistently maintained the principle of carrying out all the production and construction while respecting the urgent requirements of people in their living and their desire and putting their convenience in the first place and with the people's reflection and assessment as a yardstick. It also exerted special efforts to the work of making all the Party organizations and national institutions highly display the spirit of devoting themselves to the people.
Kim Jong Un reviewed the achievements made by our Party and people in the struggle for boosting our own power in the period under review.
The spirit of self-reliance and the policies for its embodiment stressed at the 7th Congress of the Party were detailed and put into practice at Party plenary meetings. In the course of this, the strategy of our Party for self-reliance has been developed into the offensive one of making the sordid sanctions of the hostile forces a golden opportunity for strengthening our self-development capability and internal motive force and into a political line to be constantly preserved in the socialist construction.
Through the all-people struggle for hastening the socialist construction by enhancing the self-development capability, self-reliance has developed into the national customs of Juche Korea and the one and only fighting spirit of the Korean revolution.
Kim Jong Un in his report referred to the successes made in the struggle for consolidating the state's nuclear war deterrent and the capabilities for national self-defence.
The peculiarities of the Korean revolution, which has to be carried out in centuries-old direct confrontation with the aggressor forces of the U.S., the world's first user of nukes and war chieftain which divided the Korean territory and nation, and the geopolitical features of our state called for pushing ahead with the already-started building of the nuclear force without interruption for the welfare of the people, destiny of the revolution, existence and independent development of the state.
The report detailed the historical course of steering a great revolutionary turn for rounding off completely new nuclear capabilities in order to attain the goals of modernizing the nuclear force.
Under the direct guidance of the Party Central Committee, medium-range and intercontinental ballistic rockets of "Hwasong Rocket" series and submarine-based and ground-based ballistic rockets of "Pukguksong" series were produced in our own style to meet their peculiar operational missions. This gave a clearer description of the status of our state as a nuclear weapons state and enabled it to cement its strong and reliable strategic deterrent for coping with any threat by establishing a perfect nuclear shield.
In the period under review the already accumulated nuclear technology underwent a rapid development to minimize and standardize nuclear weapons and make them tactical ones and complete the development of a super-large hydrogen bomb. By succeeding in the test-fire of the ICBM "Hwasong-15" on November 29, 2017, the Party Central Committee declared with pride to the world the accomplishment of the historic cause of building a state nuclear force and the cause of building a rocket power.
The Party Central Committee achieved new great victories by vigorously leading the struggle for rapidly developing the nuclear force even after the great historic November event in 2017.
Recalling that the Party Central Committee decided to develop a global strike rocket with more powerful warheads and an improved warhead control system and carried out this historic task by relying on the patriotism and loyalty of the national defence scientists, the report affirmed that the new type gigantic rocket on a 11-axis self-propelled launcher displayed during the military parade marking the 75th founding anniversary of the Party fully demonstrated the strike capability of our ultra-modern nuclear force.
As the Party Central Committee successfully carried out the great cause of building a state nuclear force and brought about a great change in the strengthening of the state defence capabilities in the period under review, it upraised the country to the position of a world nuclear power and military power in both name and reality and put an end to the era in which big countries tended to make bargain with the interests of our state and nation.
Kim Jong Un reviewed in his report the rapid development of the DPRK's external position in the period under review.
After the great victory in the line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of a nuclear force, the Party Central Committee has stepped up external activities to place the state's dignity and prestige on a high level.
In the period under review, the external environment encircling the DPRK was severe, unprecedented in its history since its founding, due to the desperate offensive of the U.S. and its followers characterized by frantic maneuvers to pressurize and blockade the DPRK.
The Party Central Committee has resolutely rejected any attempt to hurt the supreme interests and dignity of the country and never made even a slightest concession in the revolutionary principle, while more firmly adhering to the independent stand despite the worst situation, which made it clear all over the world that the sovereignty of the DPRK can never be infringed upon and the improved relations with it is absolutely impossible without the respect for its sovereignty.
The Party Central Committee has created a trend towards peace and the atmosphere of dialogue, which is accepted by the international community, by making a bold switchover in its line and pursuing offensive strategy, and organized and led adroit external activities to elevate the status of the DPRK in the international arena.
Our Party has prioritized the development of the long-standing and special DPRK-China relations to develop the friendly relations with China as required by the new century and open a new chapter in the DPRK-China friendly relationship with socialism as its core, the report said.
The Party Central Committee has also provided a cornerstone for the expansion of friendly relations between the DPRK and Russia through external activities for the development of friendly and cooperative relations with Russia, while attaching importance to the fresh development of the traditional DPRK-Russia relations.
Through the DPRK-Cuba Pyongyang summit and the DPRK-Vietnam Hanoi summit, the Party Central Committee developed the bilateral relations, forged and verified in the common struggle for accomplishing the cause of socialism, into the special ones between comrades, the strategic ones, thus rapidly strengthening the unity and solidarity with socialist countries.
The Party Central Committee has brought about a dramatic change in the balance of power between the DPRK and the U.S. during the period under review, thereby wonderfully demonstrating the dignity and prestige of our state.
At the face-to-face meetings of the top leaders of the two countries, the first of its kind in the hostile relations between the two countries, the Party Central Committee yielded with strong stand of independence the joint declaration that assures the establishment of new DPRK-U.S. relationship.
The several rounds of DPRK-U.S. summit talks came to be event of the greatest concern in the history of world politics, through which the strategic position of the DPRK, which defends its independent interests, peace and justice against a superpower, were manifested worldwide.
Saying that the rapid rise of the external position of the DPRK, though it is small in territory and population, has been witnessed in the face of the encirclement by the imperialist reactionaries, the report stressed that it is a precious fruition of the long-running hard-fought struggle waged by our Party and people, and a great historic miracle made by the great unity of the people who have believed and upheld the line and policies of the Party as absolute truth and more closely rallied around the Party despite the worsening difficulties.
