Pyongyang: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a stern warning that his administration will "eliminate any movements" jeopardizing the authority of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). This proclamation comes as the nation commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Party's founding with grand celebrations in the capital, Pyongyang.

According to Anadolu Agency, Kim made these remarks during his visit to the Party Founding Museum in Pyongyang. He emphasized the importance of maintaining strict order and discipline within the Party. "We should continue to firmly consolidate strict order and sound discipline climate within the Party, while giving precedence to the process of finding out and eliminating in time all sorts of elements and acts that undermine the Party's leadership prestige," Kim stated.

The Workers' Party of Korea was established on October 10, 1945, by North Korea's founding leader, Kim Il Sung. He was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong Il, in 1994, and later by Kim Jong Un, who took over in December 2011 after his father's death. During his museum visit, Kim Jong Un paid homage to his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, and his father, Kim Jong Il, stressing that the party's purity and revolutionary ideals must be "preserved and defended at all costs."

Kim warned against any "ideological or political decay" that could undermine the party's dominance. The anniversary celebrations are anticipated to commence with a large military parade late Thursday, followed by nationwide events on Friday.

Several international dignitaries have already arrived in Pyongyang to partake in the celebrations, including Chinese Premier Li Qiang, former Russian President and current Deputy Head of Russia's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, Vietnamese leader To Lam, and Laotian President Thongloun Sisoulith. Additionally, a delegation from Tehran, led by Mohammad Ali Amani, the secretary-general of the Islamic Coalition Party of Iran, has also reached the North Korean capital.
