N. Korea's Kim calls for strict discipline ahead of key party anniv.

Yonhap | English | News | Oct. 10, 2025 | North Korea

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has pledged to eliminate movements that undermine the authority of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and called for strict discipline within the party ahead of its 80th founding anniversary. During a visit to the Party Founding Museum in Pyongyang on October 8, 2025, Kim emphasized the need to consolidate strict order and a sound discipline climate by timely identifying and removing elements that damage the party's leadership prestige.

Kim warned party officials to change their attitude and avoid negative behaviors such as ignorance, incompetence, irresponsibility, self-protection, formalism, expediency, arbitrariness, high-handedness, and abuse of power. He was accompanied by high-ranking officials, including members of the WPK Central Committee and the Presidium of the Political Bureau.

The 80th anniversary celebrations will feature a large-scale military parade, which is a traditional practice for North Korea on significant party anniversaries ending in zero or five. Senior officials from China and Russia are expected to attend the event.
