The State Stamp Bureau of the DPRK has produced new stamps (two sheets and six individuals) in commemoration of the Ninth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

Depicted in the sheets embossed with letters “Ninth WPK Congress” together with the Party emblem is the ennobling image of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , who made an important concluding speech at the Party Congress and was elected as the general secretary of the WPK according to the unshakeable will and desire of all the delegates and millions of Party members, all other people and service personnel across the country.

The individual stamps visually show the important tasks set forth by the Ninth Congress of the Party.

A stamp dealing with the content of bringing about a fresh turn in strengthening the whole Party and developing its work reflects the ideology of the WPK on dynamically conducting the three revolutions and embodying the principles and requirements of the five-point Party-building programme in the new era in its work and activities while invariably holding high the ideas of “The people are god,” single-hearted unity and self-reliance as the banner of struggle and advance.

A stamp bearing such letters as “Strong guarantee for the growth and development of the overall economy by consolidating the production foundations of the key industrial sector in a qualitative way” highlights the importance of the duty and role the metal, chemical, power, coal and machine-building industries assume in carrying on the era of comprehensive national rejuvenation.

Another stamp deals with the idea of holding fast to the seed improvement, scientific farming, tideland farming, double cropping and land improvement as an important guarantee for increased grain production in the agricultural sector and the idea of boosting the production of consumer goods with the main stress put on the improvement of quality and development of new products and building a new foundation of the light industry.

The other stamp shows the appearance of our country where the capital city and provinces are simultaneously changing. Reflected in it is the patriotic enthusiasm and will of the Korean people to renew the looks of regions and countryside every year through accelerated regional development and rural construction and turn Pyongyang into a world-class city through continued construction project.

There are also stamps reflecting the intention and idea of the WPK that a more vigorous struggle should be waged for the development of science and technology and socialist culture and the building of powerful national defence capabilities.
