Tremendous human and material damage by the influence of disastrous abnormal weather, which gets more serious with each passing day, has become a difficult problem of the world.

A damage by heavy rain was caused in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in July.

Many public buildings, facilities, roads and railways, including more than 4,100 houses and nearly 3,000 hectares of farmland, were flooded in the city of Sinuiju and Uiju County located on the lower reaches of the Amnok River.

Recently, floods and heavy rain seriously and consecutively damaged some areas of the country, including North Phyongan and Jagang provinces. In this regard, the 22nd emergency enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea was held in an afflicted area in the city of Sinuiju, North Phyongan Province, from July 29 to 30 to take urgent rehabilitation measures.

Before calling the meeting, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, went round the flooded areas and expressed his determination to take powerful state measures for the rehabilitation project in the shortest time to provide the people with a better cradle for life.

He presided over the meeting. Saying the people are observing the meeting even at this moment as they trust the Party, he underscored the need to take all measures in a powerful and detailed manner to remove the aftermath as soon as possible, mindful of the expectation of the people and the important mission before them, and set forth important tasks and ways to this end.

The meeting adopted a decision which represented the noble intention of the Party Central Committee to relieve the people of their sufferings and provide them with cradle for their happy life as soon as possible.

Concluding the meeting, Kim Jong Un said:

We have faced a crisis several times, but each time we have been brave and offensive in the face of it and always wrought only miracles. There is nothing impossible as long as there are the leadership of the Party and the army and people that are faithful to the Party.

And he ardently called for stoutly turning out in the face of this crisis and making miraculous achievements.

Why and for whom was the 22nd emergency enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK held?

No work is more important than to relieve the people of their misfortune and pain for the WPK which regards the people-first principle as its nature and sacred political idea.

For the Party, the lives of the people are most precious. When the entire people are in good health, there will be the Party, the state and everything on this land. This is the firm faith of Kim Jong Un who makes an uninterrupted journey of devoted service for the people's well-being.
