People Are Masters of Everything

A few years ago, a video edited by a TV reporter of a Western country after visiting the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea drew people’s attention. The video showed the Korean people enjoying modern civilization at such bases of cultural and leisure activities as the Munsu Water Park, the Rungna People’s Recreation Park, the People’s Open-Air Ice Rink and the May Day Stadium, and trams and trolley buses running along the streets.

The people who saw it said: I didn’t know that Pyongyang is such a beautiful city; I want to visit Pyongyang someday.

Singaporean media reported:

The DPRK has reached a high level of urban development. The streets are full of life. Mirae Scientists Street and Ryomyong Street, which are formed with modern skyscrapers, demonstrate both the mettle and aesthetic beauty of the times–posh, dignified and weighty.

What is more noteworthy in the country is not the developing urban areas, but the fact that masters of those things are the working people.

In fact, the country provides the working people free of charge with such houses, dream houses for the Westerners.

Also needed here is to see the impressions of foreigners from the Songdowon International Children’s Camp on the eastern coast of the country.

In brief, the impressions are that first, it provides modern facilities to young campers free of charge; second, sons and daughters of the working people and even orphans go to such a wonderful camp, where in other countries only children of millionaires and other privileged persons go; third, these are all application and fruition of the consistent and unshakable policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the government.

Upholding the slogan “Everything for the people, everything by relying on them!” the Party and the government see to it that all officials make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people.

The policy speech Kim Jong Un delivered at the Fifth Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK, held in September 2021, testifies to this. 

Saying that the Party and government will be infinitely loyal to the great people and will display to the full their heavy mission and responsibility with their greatest efforts, Kim Jong Un called on them to work vigorously for the prosperity and development of the great country, the DPRK, for the happiness and security of the great people, and the new development of socialist construction of the country’s own style, upholding the slogans of “The people are God,” single-hearted unity and self-reliance.

As Kim Jong Un, who devotes his all for the people, administers people-first politics, the DPRK will develop into a country where the people enjoy all the benefits as masters of everything.
