The
2nd Conference of the Workers' Party of Korea
was held in
Pyongyang
in October 1966. At the time the domestic and international situation of the
Korean Workers' Party
was complicated by the
Sino-Soviet split
, which had caused a rift among communist countries and parties.
Kim Il Sung
delivered the report
The Present Situation and the Tasks of Our Party
which emphasized unity between socialist countries and within the international communist movement, as well as directing the main blow to
United States imperialism
, particularly with regards to the
Vietnam War
. He also emphasized the need for "politico-ideological unity
of the revolutionary ranks".

Following the conference, a group called the "Kapsan faction" started voicing opinions critical of Kim Il Sung. The internal differences within the party culminated to a purge called the
Kapsan Faction Incident
that left Kim Il Sung's rule unchallenged.
