Admiration of Carter



Admiration of Carter

President Kim Il Sung was the father of people with warm human love.
The following is an anecdote of it.
In the summer of Juche 83(1994) Jimmy Carter, ex-president of the U.S. visited the DPRK.
President Kim Il Sung had a chat with Carter aboard a pleasure boat on the Taedong River.
The boat was passing by a place after leaving Pyongyang.
All of a sudden Kim Il Sung summoned a member of his suit and instructed him to slow the speed of the boat.
Wondering to see the boat slowing, Carter asked the reason.
Kim Il Sung pointed at the riverside with his hand, saying:
Look. Working people are fishing there.
If we make waves run high, it will disturb them.
We’d better go a little slowly not to disturb them.”
Carter was struck with admiration.
He had neither thought of nor imagined such a reality.
