Deep Trust

  The magnificent and modern Jonwi Street is at the northern gateway to Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

  It is a large architectural group of the iconic 80-storey apartment house and other high-rise and super-high-rise apartment houses of diverse styles and public buildings. It was built by young people only in one year's time.


  On February 25, 2023, the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un gave the young people a huge task of building a new street.

  Coming out to the venue of groundbreaking ceremony, he broke ground first to signal the start of the project and gave strength and courage to the young people, saying they should become performers of feats and victors in the capital city construction.

  That day, he ardently called for struggling courageously for the great honour of the Korean youth, for the eternal prosperity of our socialist state and our capital city of Pyongyang before awarding the flag of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade.

  Looking at the reliable and presentable young people at the venue of the groundbreaking ceremony, he said they will have the youthful pride and honour of having shed precious sweat for the capital city construction just like the generations of their grandfathers and grandmothers, fathers and mothers and they will record in their autobiography the stories about their merits, in which they can be proud of their capital city, their Pyongyang.

  His trust served as the motive force that enabled the young people to fully display their spirit and valour in the construction of the new street.

  Encouraged by his love and trust, the young people could wonderfully complete the huge project of building Jonwi Street in a short period.


  Lecturer Kim Hui Yon at the Korean Revolution Museum said Marshal Kim Jong Un participated in the inaugural ceremony of the new street and spoke highly of merits of the young people, and continued:

  "On May 14, 2024, the fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un took part in the inaugural ceremony of Jonwi Street, met the young innovators who performed labour feats in the construction of the street and highly appreciated their efforts. 

  He said it is the greatest pride incomparable to anything for the party making a revolution to have its reliable successors and reserves. Certain is the victory of the cause of building a powerful socialist country thanks to the large contingent of the passionate young people who are faithful to the call of the country and to the society and collective and devoting themselves to the future."

  The deep trust of Marshal Kim Jong Un in the young people represents his profound intention to train them as vanguard fighters and genuine successors to the revolution who would powerfully shoulder the revolution.

From Voice of Korea -Leading the Young People to Glorify the Honour of Patriotic Youth

  The young people lead a worthwhile life as patriotic youth in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

  The respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un leads them to glorify the honour of patriotic youth, showing his love for and trust in them.

  When he visited the construction site for damage rehabilitation in North Phyongan Province on November 4, 2024, he beamed all over his face, looking at the dwelling houses being built by young builders.


  Looking round the construction sites that day, he highly praised the youth shock-brigaders for their efforts, saying they were said to have completed the frameworks of dwelling houses in two months and they had done a great work.

  Lecturer Kim Sol Hui at the Korean Revolution Museum said that in August that year Marshal Kim Jong Un, in his speech made at the departure ceremony of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade to be dispatched to the sites for damage rehabilitation of North Phyongan Province, encouraged the young people to demonstrate the dignity, stamina and valour of the honourable Korean youth, saying that about 300,000 young people volunteered to work at the rehabilitation sites in response to the decision of the Workers' Party of Korea. She continued:

  "At that time our young people left for the northwestern area of the country upon the speech of encouragement made by the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un.

  Marshal Kim Jong Un visited the construction sites where the young people were working and highly praised them for their merits and innovations.

  He said the height of a structure is not based merely on engineering and dynamic calculations, but determined by that of our ideal and confidence that we can realize it without fail. The structures built there are a crystallization of the boundless loyalty and patriotism of our young people supporting the Party."

  The Korean young people regard the trust and love of Marshal Kim Jong Un as their greatest honour and work miracles and perform feats in their workplaces.


From Voice of Korea-Immutable Strategic Line

One day in January 2016 the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un called at the Youth Movement Museum.
Looking at the full-length statues of the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il among youth and children in the Introduction Hall of the museum that day, he said with great pleasure that it represented really well our society where the leader and the masses form a harmonious whole.

He also said the core of the history of leadership of the youth movement by the great leaders is that they firmly believed in the young people and always held them up as heroes of the era and that elated by the trust and love, the Korean young people could cover the glorious road while glorifying those chronicles of the revolution with heroic merits and proud victories.
After a while, he stressed that in order to advance the revolutionary cause of Juche along the road of victory and glory it is necessary to have the noble outlook on the future and coming generations and hold fast to the idea of attaching importance to the youth as an immutable strategic line as the great leaders did.
All the countries regard it as a very important issue to solve the youth problem correctly as it is decisive of the prospects of the revolution and the future destiny of the country.
With the firm will that when the young people are robust, the Party and the State become powerful, Comrade Kim Jong Un has considered the youth issue to be the most important of state affairs and ushered in a new heyday of the Korean youth movement.
Under his loving care, the Korean young people are fully demonstrating their wisdom, passion and spirit, keeping deep in their hearts the worthwhile dignity and honour of the Korean youth.

Politics - Devoted Service for the People's Well-being 

e

  It is the will of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, that there is nothing more to be desired even if he is scattered on the road as a grain of sand for the people.

  Comrade Kim Jong Un goes on making selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people.

  One day in September 2016, he visited the Medical Oxygen Factory and said with great pleasure that it is a factory intensively showing the outlook of the WPK on the people and its spirit of making selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people that stars should be plucked from the sky and flowers be grown even on the rock for them.

  Once, he covered a long and rugged road to call on the people in the typhoon- and flood-stricken areas, saying they were waiting for him, looking at the sky of Pyongyang, and that the people left homeless were waiting for him in the rainstorm.

  He is making painstaking efforts only for the people's happiness day and night, rain or shine.

  That's why all the Korean people say they are living a happy life under his loving care.

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on U.S. Hostile Moves

 

Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on Thursday as regards the fact that the U.S. is repeatedly resorting to a series of hostile moves adversely affecting the security environment of the DPRK and the regional situation:


Recently, the U.S. Department of State decided to sell the ROK AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, the latest ultra-modern tactical missile currently operated by the U.S. army and which can be used to attack ground targets, and their related equipment worth 125 million US$.


Earlier, it announced its plan to allot millions of U.S. dollars to the "human rights" smear campaign in order to create conditions favorable for grasping so-called "human rights situation" in the DPRK and gathering information about the DPRK.


The above-said acts are another case proving the persistence and sequence of the U.S. hostile moves to add a new threat to the security sphere of the DPRK and create instability in the social system of our state.


This year alone, the U.S. approved the sale of various lethal equipment worth an astronomical sum of money, including the latest air-to-air missiles, new-type helicopters for naval operation, attack helicopters and precisely guided bombs, encouraging the ROK to boost its capability to fight a war.


Now that the military integration of the U.S. and its allies is being accelerated in the Asia-Pacific region, we can not overlook the adverse effect of the U.S. sale of its weapons to the ROK on the regional security environment.


The reality clearly proves how actively and zealously the U.S. is trying to expand the new threat to the DPRK.


We once again and clearly recognized the expression of the U.S. open attitude to be always hostile to the DPRK.


The DPRK is well aware of the reality that there always exists outsiders' malignant attempt and threat to the DPRK's security and its political stability, and will make a serious, immediate and powerful response to the hostile acts in different spheres. -0-

Crime of Japan, Sworn Enemy of Korean Nation


Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- Even after their defeat, the Japanese reactionaries persistently pursued the heinous hostile policy toward the Korean people, oppressing the Koreans in Japan and mercilessly violating their human rights.


After their defeat, the Japanese reactionaries enacted and promulgated the "decree on foreigner registration" aimed at registering and oppressing all Koreans in Japan, which accounted for 90 percent of foreigners, and forcibly expelling them if necessary.


As a result, the Japanese reactionaries, who laid the foundation for indiscriminately oppressing Koreans in Japan at will, committed such cruel human rights abuses as monitoring and disturbing their residence, entry and exit under unreasonable pretexts.


Koreans were harassed or killed under the pretext of "stowaway crackdown". In 1946, they arrested more than 26 000 Koreans and imprisoned them in camps in Kyushu area. Not content with subjecting them to all sorts of insult, the reactionaries killed hundreds of Koreans from April to August that year.


The Japanese reactionaries massacred Koreans in Japan by charging them with "violation of registration decree." On September 7, 1947, a Japanese gang in Kitami City, Hokkaido, at the instigation of the government, attacked more than 40 Koreans with clubs, daggers, etc., killing two and seriously wounding five.


Such atrocities continued later.


In the 1960s Koreans were killed in Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture, Tenri City of Nara Prefecture, etc.


Japan's frantic chauvinistic moves against the Korean people, including the vicious atrocities the Japanese reactionaries committed by raiding and destroying the dwellings of Koreans in Japan, are countless. -0-

 Fourth Enlarged Meeting of Political Bureau of Ninth Central Committee of WPK Held






Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea convened its fourth enlarged meeting on August 25 to take more political and practical measures for guaranteeing the successful implementation of the major policy tasks for 2026, the first year for implementing the new Five-Year Plan set forth by the historic Ninth Congress of the Party.


Present there were members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK, and members and alternate members of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK. Present as observers were vice-premiers of the Cabinet, major ministers, commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence and senior officials of relevant departments of the C.C., WPK.


Comrade Kim Jong Un guided the meeting.


The Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee first heard a report on the progress made in this year's major policy-oriented projects, adopted and assigned by the first and second plenary meetings of the Ninth Central Committee of the Party, and on the current situation of major economic sectors.


The Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee positively appreciated the important changes and successes demonstrating the transition to a new phase of development, being made in overall state work from the first year of implementing the decisions of the Party Congress.


The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau underlined the need to set a clear goal and orientation of the struggle and secure a scientific and efficient guarantee for bringing about certain attainment, now that the valuable successes, achieved by strenuous efforts, are being accumulated and the plans, greater than the past, are being worked out.


The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau recalled the character and significance of this year's struggle, which is crucial for successfully attaining the gigantic long-term goals set forth by the Party Congress, and stressed the need for the Cabinet, the State Planning Commission and other economic guidance organs and the policy-oriented guidance departments of the Party Central Committee to display extraordinary responsibility and high prudence.


The Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee examined the strategic coordination and timely measures for successful completion of the projects planned for this year and strengthened capability for implementing short-, intermediate- and long-term tasks on the principle of encouraging successes and experience, constantly drawing lessons and securing solutions in conformity with the characteristics of the times and the requirements of the reality, in which a creative struggle, unprecedented in terms of the width and depth of state development and the gigantic nature of its long-term goals, is underway.


The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau specified the principles and a series of policies for the state economic guidance organs to prudently and strategically tide over the unfavorable conditions and difficulties arising alongside ever-changing circumstances, and ensure concentration in the construction of major policy-oriented objects, in particular.


Pointing out a series of deviations revealed in the course of implementing the decisions of the Party Congress, Comrade Kim Jong Un said that they are the consequences of the immature operation and leadership of the economic guidance organs failing to keep abreast of our greater ideals and progress and such shortcomings can be overcome and eliminated by the efforts redoubled with a new determination and struggle will.


Noting that the important duty to steer all sectors of socialist construction to fresh innovations and changes and eye-opening rate of growth has been placed on the shoulders of the leading cadres, he called upon all the Party organizations to more dynamically conduct their organizational and political work to give full play to the spiritual strength of the masses as required by the invariable policy of the Party Central Committee on giving priority to ideological work in every undertaking.


Saying that the on-going advance requires extraordinary courage and strenuous efforts beyond precedents and limits, he noted that the goals of transformations set forth by the Ninth Party Central Committee are not merely the numbers in practical plans but important political tasks for preserving the dignity of the country and proving the superiority of the social system.


He stressed the need for the officials responsible for the implementation of the Party decisions to successfully conclude this year's struggle without fail and thus pave a broad avenue to attaining the new long-term goals, always mindful that the current daily successes, symbolic of the on-going accelerated advance and development, will just lead to the promotion of the people's wellbeing. -0-
