Ten years ago on the 29th of June 2016 respected Marshal KIM JONG UN was elected as Chairman of the newly created State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK ) by the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK . Later the title of Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK became known as the President of the State Affairs of the DPRK . Respected comrade KIM JONG UN had been guiding the party and the state since April 2012 and his election to the post of President of State Affairs of the DPRK reflected the trust and confidence of the Korean people in the leadership abilities of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN .
The years from 2016 in the DPRK have been truly ten remarkable years; ten years of growth , prosperity, innovation , dynamism and development which even the capitalist reactionaries like the Wall Street Journal now have to grudgingly admit that People’s Korea is developing rapidly . The source of the DPRK’s miraculous development is not outside assistance or a benefactor but the DPRK’s own internal strength which is based on self-reliance and single -hearted unity .
During the past ten years in which Marshal KIM JONG UN has presided over the DPRK’s growth I have visited the DPRK 11 times and each time I have seen big changes particularly on my last two visits in 2024 and 2025. Literally high rise buildings has risen up from bare earth one after another , the whole face of Pyongyang has changed . The area between Pyongyang Sunan International Airport and the centre of Pyongyang looks unrecognisable , my guide told me that Hwasong Street was only a few years ago rice fields .
The pace of construction work has been truly massive ; new streets and residential areas such as Ryomyong Street , Songwha Street, Hwasong Street , Jonwi street , Saeppyol Street and the Kyongru-dong residential area. Over 100, 000 new homes have been built in rural areas . Recently the 2nd Plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea took the wonderful decision to build new housing in mining areas of the DPRK .
It is not just new housing that has been built but also new Greenhouse farms such as the Kangdong Greenhouse Farm which I visited in 2024 , this is a state owned farm that is the size of a town and equipped with the latest technology , in fact it looked like something out of science fiction . A new state of the art hospital, the Pyongyang General Hospital , has been constructed in the centre of Pyongyang and there are plans to build 100 new hospitals .
It can be said that the pace of construction in the DPRK has accelerated considerably in the DPRK in the last ten years but these has not been under ideal conditions for the DPRK has faced sanctions by the US imperialists , the UN Security Council and entities such as the EU . The DPRK also suffered a lot of natural disasters which would have caused any other country to crumple up and disappear but thanks to the leadership of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance , People’s Korea has prospered and is entering a period of the comprehensive development of socialism .
Respected comrade KIM JONG UN has also most actively pushed forward the work of national defence in order to make sure that the great achievements outlined above will not be reduced to naught by a destructive war .The DPRK is a nuclear power and a missile power and it will soon become a great naval power .
We salute the 10th anniversary of the election of Marshal KIM JONG UN as President of the State Affairs of the DPRK and wish for another ten remarkable years of the dynamic leadership of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN !
