In a lengthy commemorative message published in the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper, Kim said North Korea faces challenges both from within and outside, and said the party must take the lead in achieving a revolutionary communist victory.
“Workers must train themselves ideologically and cultivate party discipline in the midst of an inferno of criticism and struggle,” he said.
“The success of the work of growing workers into true communist revolutionaries who espouse the founding ideology and spirit depends largely on the role of the party organisation.”
Kim attended a performance at the Central Cadres Training School of the party and a banquet that was filled with the “joy of the participants greeting the significant day marking the ruling history of 79 years,” official KCNA news agency said.
