N Korea`s Workers Party to conf to elect party`s highest body.

PYONGYANG, September 21 (Itar-Tass) - Korean Workers Party, the ruling
political force in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is expected
to hold a conference September 28, a committee in charge of preparing the
assembly said Tuesday.
Korean Central News Agency /KCNA/ quoted the committee statement as
saying the conference is due to elect the party's highest governing body.
It also said party committees of the People's Army units, cities,
districts and provinces have been held recently and delegates for the
conference have been elected there.
DPRK's political leader, the chairman of the National Defense
Commission, Kim Jong Il, was named candidate number one for the conference
at each party meeting, and this reflects the unanimity of will of all the
party members, the servicemen of the People's Army and the entire Korean
people, the KCNA said.
Other delegates elected to the conference are the workers and
employees who have displayed patriotism at their workplaces and have
proved their loyalty to the party course and the revolution, the news
agency said.
It notes the great surge of the people's enthusiasm, which made up the
background for the party meetings. This enthusiasm opens up the paths to
building a mighty and affluent country, the KCNA said.
Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's leading daily newspaper writes in this
connection that the party conference will have an epoch-making
significance, as it will demonstrate the Korean people's unity, which is
impossible to break up even with the aid of nuclear weapons.
The newspaper says the people will bring the "Great Juche cause" to
the eventual success whatever the obstacles and trials that may have been
put up in its way.
An official report published June 23 suggested the DPRK leaders
planned the conference for the beginning of September initially.
The KCNA did not say anything about the causes of postponement of the
gathering or about its agenda but regional media surmise the aftermath of
natural calamities -- a devastating flood and a typhoon the pounded in
the country in August and early September -- might be one of the causes
for postponement.
The previous party conference was held here in 1966.
