This is how the Korean language translates to English when speaking on serious matters. You must be another product of US education. I dropped out and am self-educated, but I'm so glad I'm not some uncultured midwesterner and got to grow up in a major city. I've been to many places in the USA. It's insane how shut off to cultural awareness the rural / flyover suburb are.

Conclusions from the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea
(Pyongyang, February 24, Korean Central News Agency)

Dear Comrade Kim Jong Un concluded the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea .
The conclusion is as follows:

Dear comrade representatives!

This congress, the ninth in the history of our Party, is considering and discussing important struggle plans for advancing the comprehensive development of socialism to a new stage in the current internal and external situation, as well as issues aimed at the continued strengthening and development of the Party.

Through the data report and work summary report, the work progress of the 8th Central Committee of the Party was specifically analyzed and summarized, and the principled demands, struggle line, strategies and tactics, and basic tasks to be taken to further accelerate the revolution and construction in the future were clearly presented.

In particular, the comprehensive analysis of the five-year struggle from today's perspective has been a valuable opportunity to clearly identify the valuable experiences that must be maintained and developed in the future, as well as the biases and lessons that must be corrected, along with a proper sense of pride in the fruits of our perseverance.

Through this, all representative comrades would have been able to grasp the overall changes and level of development that had occurred in socialist construction and party construction during the period of the general settlement, and in connection with this, accurately assess the current status of their sector and unit.

As we face the struggle direction of the new five-year plan, I believe there must have been a solemn mindset to cultivate confidence and determination, recognizing what kind of stance and attitude we should have in the face of the demands of the revolution and the demands of the times, which must lead the past five years of transformation into five years of even greater transformation.

This conference also deliberated and adopted a draft amendment to the Party Rules, including some provisions of the Party Rules that were to be amended in accordance with the requirements of the Party's work practice at the 8th Central Plenary Session, and new regulations.

And the 9th Central Committee of the Party, which will organize and lead the implementation of the more extensive and weighty revolutionary tasks ahead, has been newly formed with solid and excellent comrades who enjoy the trust of the Party members, have been proven through practical struggles, and whose success is expected.

With this, this conference successfully summarized the work of the 8th Central Committee of the Party and transferred the leadership responsibility and role for the Party work and the overall revolutionary work to the newly elected 9th Central Committee of the Party.

Representative comrades!

At this congress, I was honored to be re-elected to the highest leadership position of the Workers' Party of Korea with the high and deep trust of all the delegates and members of the entire Party .

Although the great undertaking to realize the people's ideals has only just begun and there is still a long way to go before we can fully fulfill the promises we made to the people of Lucha, I deeply accept the fact that I have been entrusted with this sacred responsibility once again as a sign of the heavenly trust and expectations that I will work harder and strive harder.

I solemnly swear that I will always hold the mission and responsibility I have before the Party and the people most sacredly and with the utmost weight, and that I will thoroughly observe and implement the Party's rules and program, reliably safeguard the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's right to development and security, and dedicate myself wholeheartedly and devotedly to serving the people, sparing every second, without betraying the great expectations and trust of all the comrades of the representatives and millions of Party members.

The newly elected 9th Central Committee of the Party will faithfully repay the high trust and expectations of all Party organizations and members by fulfilling its responsible leadership role, and will receive a fair evaluation of its work by accelerating the development of our great nation and ensuring that more tangible benefits are delivered to our people more quickly.

Representative comrades!

The main remaining tasks for this conference are the establishment of a five-year outlook plan for each field and the adoption of the results.

The fundamental achievements of the Party Congress will depend on how the research, consultation, and decision-making are conducted to determine the direction of the struggle for the next five years and to determine the goals to be achieved in each field.

Therefore, since the last 8th Party Congress, this process has been given special importance and the focus of the congress work has been concentrated here.

I believe that this time too, all of our representative comrades will faithfully and seriously fulfill the heavy mission and responsibility they have shouldered before the fatherland, the revolution, and the people, and will devote their creativity and wholehearted effort to ensuring that each and every point becomes a transformative task for the five-year struggle.

In particular, newly elected members of the party's central leadership body must demonstrate a high degree of responsibility and prudence in formulating policy tasks, as the party convention's decisions serve as a consistent action plan for the duration of their term.

As mentioned in the report, this new five-year plan period will be a stage of stability and consolidation and gradual qualitative development for our economy.

Therefore, when finalizing plans for economic sectors, we must carefully balance the two aspects of qualitatively strengthening and further developing the existing foundation and capabilities, and this direction must also be maintained when discussing plans for other sectors.

Representative comrades!

Today's struggle for transformation, which includes the implementation of the new Five-Year Plan and the comprehensive development of socialism, demands that the three great revolutions of ideology, technology, and culture be carried out more vigorously in all sectors and all units.

The three great revolutions of ideology, technology, and culture are our Party's general line for socialist construction.

The entire process of our socialist construction has been consistent with the Three Revolutions, and we have advanced through the struggle to implement the Three Revolutions line.

Because there were three great revolutions that prioritized ideological reform and ideological revolution while also accelerating technological and cultural reform, our style of socialism was able to carve out a single path of advancement without being frustrated even in the face of severe difficulties.

The grand feat of all-round development can be achieved more quickly and effectively only when the Party strengthens its leadership in carrying out the Three Revolutions, elevates the state's leading role, and the masses themselves participate in this work as masters.

Reality shows that people's ideological consciousness, technological level, and level of civilization do not automatically improve just because working conditions and living environments change.

As a clear example, less than a year after the Party and the state built new modern production and service bases, they are failing to properly manage and operate them, and their management and control are being neglected. This is an extreme case of negligence and irresponsibility, and the chronic problem of not knowing how to value the products of Party policies and focusing only on immediate gains is resurfacing.

Managing and operating these precious creations, which were never easily achieved, so that they can become a powerful foundation for the development of a truly socialist society is a revolutionary task no less important and responsible than the massive construction project itself.

Revolution does not only mean material change and the creation of material wealth. The basic content of revolution is to change people's ideology and consciousness and to develop them into powerful beings with high creative power.

If we do not carry out the three great revolutions to free people from the shackles of old ideas and raise their conscious enthusiasm, technological level, and level of civilization, it is clear that no matter how much wealth we create, it will soon turn into nothing and in vain.

We must vigorously pursue the Three Great Revolutions to cultivate and nurture all people as new masters of a new era, to consciously fulfill their original mission, and to establish the Japanese New Year throughout society.

In particular, deepening the ideological revolution to revolutionize and proletarianize the military and workers has emerged as an urgent task.

We cannot think of successful progress in socialist construction without working to revolutionize and proletarianize the people who are the masters of society.

Therefore, it is important for the Party, labor organizations, and government agencies to organize and execute all their work from the perspective of carrying out the Three Great Revolutions, especially from the perspective of awakening and developing people ideologically and spiritually.

We must purposefully and consistently realize the Party's demand that workers and laborers internalize revolutionary ideological consciousness, the collectivist spirit of the working class, and the fighting spirit, from today's perspective.

Only when we raise new tasks suited to the advancement of the times in all aspects of ideology, technology, and culture and carry out innovative projects of natural transformation, human transformation, and social reform can we achieve continuous progress in socialist construction.

The 8th Central Committee of the Party's work summary report particularly emphasized the idea of ​​accurately implementing the demands of the times for comprehensive development in socialist construction.

The demands of the new era are broadly categorized into five categories. Let's briefly summarize them again.

It is to ensure unity of action and establish strong discipline throughout socialist construction.

It is about constantly creating and innovating new things by breaking down old schemas, frameworks, conservatism, and empiricism.

It is about conducting business scientifically, predictably, and practically and valuing professional qualities.

It is to innovate the guidance methods and methods for production and construction and to enhance the commanding ability of the troops.

It is to thoroughly implement the principles of ideology first and people first.

This is a legitimate demand that has emerged as a practical matter, as we enter a period of comprehensive development, to improve and innovate all businesses. However, it is also an urgent task that arises from the serious lessons learned from the struggles of the past five years.

We all know that while the spirit of a new era is pulsating in every sector and unit of national and social life, especially in the economic sector, backward relics also coexist.

We cannot forever leave behind old and outdated relics, and we must be more bold in overcoming and eliminating backwardness and pedantry.

Since the Three Revolutions are essentially a struggle to eliminate all the old and create new things in the fields of ideology, technology, and culture, the contemporary demand for comprehensive development must be implemented in the process of carrying out the Three Revolutions.

We must vigorously advance socialist construction in our own way.

During the 8th term of the Party, we have accumulated experience in establishing short-term strategies and plans, responsibly implementing them, and using these as a solid foundation to expand and solidify our achievements.

Continuing to establish and faithfully implement a five-year plan as we do now is an essential step and process for building national strength and ultimately building an ideal society.

By going through this process and maturing in all areas, we can greatly increase our country's national power based on a solid foundation, as we envision.

In 10 or 20 years from now, we will be celebrating the 90th and 100th anniversaries of the founding of our Party. If we steadily promote national development and the improvement of the people's welfare with the same fighting methods as now, we will be able to transform the entire country and make all the people live well. At that time, our Party will be able to proudly say that it has been faithful to its mission and duty as a true people's party.

Representative comrades!

Just as the struggles of the past five years, which pioneered the era of comprehensive socialist development, have been like this, the struggles of the new five years will also depend entirely on our own subjective forces, the great strength of our people.

Just as we held high the ideals of putting people first, single-minded unity, and self-reliance as banners of struggle and advancement during the 8th term of the Party, we will continue to hold high these three ideals during the 9th term of the Party Central Committee.

Our ideals, goals, and the pace of our progress are constantly changing and developing, but the unique ideas of the Korean revolution—people-first, single-minded unity, and self-reliance—are unchanging, and the boundless power they embody will confidently propel our socialist construction toward a bright future.

No challenge, no change in circumstances can delay or stop our progress.

Let us all, with a hundredfold redoubled confidence, passion, and fighting spirit in the advancement of the socialist cause, fight vigorously to hasten the day when our people's ideals and aspirations will be splendidly realized. (End)

I've studied the korean language, that's just incorrect. It's a codified rhetorical style influenced by Stalin-era propaganda. Native Korean speakers outside NK would find that kind of wording unintentionally funny and absurd for the same reason English speakers do. That quasi-mythological cult of personality language makes them much prone to outside mockery and suspicion.

Thanks. Had a lot of fun showing people this IRL whilst asking them to guess the country. :)

Why are you talking about the south Korean dialectic in this thread?!? I never said a thing about it. North Korea purged foreign loanwords. There were differently linguistic shifts, according to the era and it never really changed.

So you aren't wrong. Imagine watching the state media in the US, or the old US propaganda films. It seems plain, or very exaggerated in its display by today's standards. American PR will still make propaganda on the same issues from that past, but in a more complex and subtle fashion than the old. In north Korea, this use of wordplay is a relic from that world. Even just watching old movies from that era, even if they're from your culture; they will seem unnatural or rather direct and exaggerating the social interaction. If there were a regular Korean guy in the 20s, who wanted to give someone highest compliments, the language would appear the same to an extent; it's beyond stalinism alone.

An undefeated party that has risen steadily through the power of thought
On February 25, 2014, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un presented the immortal classic work “Let Us Hasten the Final Victory through a Revolutionary Ideological Offensive” at the 8th Congress of Ideological Workers of the Workers’ Party of Korea .

This is a programmatic document that declares our Party's unwavering belief and will to carry forward the history and tradition of our revolution, which has advanced through the power of ideology, and to further raise the banner of ideology in the new era of the Juche revolution.

Our Party's long history, spanning over 80 years, is a history of ideological battles, overcoming overlapping difficulties and trials with the power of ideology and creating miracles and innovations that astonish the world in each era of revolution and construction.

The wise leadership of the respected Comrade General Secretary , who put forward the militant slogan, “Let us hasten the final victory through a revolutionary ideological offensive!” in his work and overcame all difficulties encountered through a great ideological battle , became the driving force that brought about a spirit of new creation and leap forward throughout the country.

By holding higher the banner of Juche ideology, our people have ushered in a new era of great change in all areas, including politics, economy, national defense, education, culture, and the improvement of people's living standards, over the past decade.

The proud achievements and miraculous events taking place in our country today clearly demonstrate the legitimacy and vitality of our Party's ideologically oriented line, which seeks to grasp ideology as an all-powerful sword and bring victory to the revolutionary cause of Juche. (End)

>>2704127
Segment from “Let Us Hasten the Final Victory through a Revolutionary Ideological Offensive” chosen by me:
The Party's ideological front should actively encourage all Party members and other working people to follow in their forerunners' footsteps and become standard-bearers and meritorious workers in the struggle to champion the Party Central Committee by bringing about a revolutionary upsurge.

If all service personnel and people, rallied firmly around the Party, make substantial progress in socialist construction, those who are wavering for lack of confidence will be brought to their senses and the monolithic leadership system of the Party will be established solidly across the Party and society.

Another important task facing the ideological work of our Party is to raise a strong wind of ideological campaign to give an impetus to the struggle for defending socialism.

In the present era, as in the past, socialism represents the ideals of mankind, and it is an irreversible trend of the times.

We are now following the untrodden path of history as we risk the dignity of our independent people and the destiny of socialism in the struggle to repulse the imperialists' frantic attacks. Today the path of socialism and the inevitability of its victory depend on the struggle of the Korean revolutionaries.

In performing this honourable mission our Party and people have assumed for history, ideological workers, the red, hardcore elements of the Party, should become undying torchlight and loud bugles.

They should give Party members and other working people a clear understanding of the essence and character of the present struggle to defend socialism.

In the struggle we waged in defence of socialism in the 90s of the last century, we created a historic miracle of safeguarding our ideology and system against the allied imperialist forces' moves to isolate and stifle our country.

The ongoing struggle to defend socialism can be said to be aimed at prevailing over imperialism in all fields of social life by consolidating the victories and successes achieved so far and giving fullest play to the advantages and might of socialism.

Recently, our Party has put forward both the agricultural and scientific fronts as outposts for defending socialism. Its intention is to constantly remind our people that not only on the frontline where guns are levelled at each other but also in all other places where they live, they are engaged in invisible, fierce confrontation and competition against imperialists. If we, resting on our laurels and praising ourselves, do not give spur to the revolution and construction and thus fail to bring real benefits to the people, such socialism is doomed to lose its appeal.

We should build a thriving country at an early date by giving fullest play to the advantages and might of socialism, which capitalism can never imitate nor possess, so as to make socialism as different in all respects from capitalism as heaven is from earth.

CONGRESS EXPLAINED
>>2704134
TBH I don't understand how one could read stuff like this and conclude that DPRK is not attempting and succeeding to build socialism.

9th congress explained

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un paid a congratulatory visit to the Sangwon Cement Complex and encouraged the working class that has risen up in a new struggle to implement the decisions of the Party Congress.
(Pyongyang, March 2, Korean Central News Agency)
The historic 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea unfolded a grand plan to further expand construction projects for comprehensive national development and the promotion of the welfare of the entire people during the new prospective plan period, and made an ardent appeal to all related units, including building materials production bases, to bring about a productivity surge surpassing that of the past five years.

Sangwon Cement Complex, which has faithfully repaid the Party's trust by proudly increasing cement production over the centuries, is seething with revolutionary enthusiasm to fulfill its honorable mission and vanguard role in the grand struggle to brighten the 9th term of the Party with continuous success and leaps forward.

Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, paid a congratulatory visit to the Sangwon Cement Complex, which was advancing under the banner of the March 1 patriotic production increase movement, and encouraged the working class that had risen up in a new struggle to implement the decisions of the Party Congress.

He was accompanied by members of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and other Party Central Committee officials.

The great excitement and joy of all employees, who had the dreamlike honor of being the first to welcome the great Father, whom they had always longed to see, to their enterprise right after the historic Party Congress, on the day of new innovation and new miracles that illuminate the era of great transformation, boiled over like lava.

When Comrade Kim Jong- un arrived, a storm of cheers of “Hurrah!” erupted, shaking the heavens and earth.

All participants expressed their deepest gratitude to Comrade Kim Jong Un, who has always placed the working class of the DPRK first in their hearts and has repeatedly bestowed upon them the heavenly trust and love, allowing them to continue to perform feats in the vanguard of the heroic struggle.

Comrade Kim Jong- un was cordially welcomed by the leading officials of the joint enterprise, including Comrade Yun Jae-hyeok, the manager.

Comrade Kim Jong Un sent warm and encouraging greetings to the working class of the upper house, who are brimming with extraordinary determination and enthusiasm to uphold the grand construction plan presented by the Party Congress with remarkable cement production results.

Comrade Kim Jong- un gave a meaningful speech of encouragement.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed his feelings about visiting the Sangwon working class first after the 9th Congress of the Party, and paid warm tribute to the development history of the Sangwon Cement Complex and the entire working class of the complex, which has faithfully supported the bold choice of our Party with unwavering loyalty over the past five years, which were by no means easy, and has greatly contributed to its implementation, and has engraved only the miraculous record of loyalty and patriotism from the first step of its operation to this day.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that there are many large and important enterprises in the country, but there is no working-class group as solid and fighting-capable as Sangwon, and highly praised the 40-year history of the powerful enterprise that has brought to light its name as a powerful enterprise that can do anything, especially the fighting achievements of the combined enterprise during the 8th term of the Party Central Committee that firmly guaranteed the Party's plan for groundbreaking development and overall upsurge of socialist construction with its cement production performance and ushered in the golden age since its establishment through expansion of its own production capacity and unceasing increase in production.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that boundless loyalty to the Party and the country, bold innovation that denies limitations and consistent emphasis on science and technology are the secrets of the Sangwon's leap forward and the formula for increased production of our working class and development in our time, and he affirmed that the Sangwon's overwhelming patriotic enthusiasm and momentum for increased production, which continue to innovate and advance, will become an absolute support for the ideology and cause of our Party and a beacon calling the whole country to a heroic struggle.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great faith that the honorable history and traditions of the Supreme Council, which have always been a great strength and support to our Party, will continue to be carried forward with vigor, and he made a fervent appeal to all to fully display the strong spirit and wisdom of the Korean people and once again rise up like a mountain for our great motherland and fight vigorously forward and forward.

As Comrade Kim Jong Un finished his speech of encouragement, all the participantsburst into passionate cheers, looking up to the Marshal who gave them the highest and most valuable evaluation and gave them the same trust that they would remain the standard-bearers in carrying out the new prospect plan.

Comrade Kim Jong- un visited the Central Control Room and learned about the status of cement production.

Comrade Kim Jong Un praised the enterprises for achieving high production results every month this year, the first year of the new five-year plan implementation, and said that the December 2024 plenary meeting, when the Sangwon pledged to the Party that he would solve the most difficult cement problem by increasing production, is still imminent, and that it is a great strength and pride of our Party and state to have such a large force of ardent and sincere patriotic loyalists who know how to read the Party's grievances and the country's situation before others and put their whole heart and soul into it, and such a large force of genuine revolutionaries who immediately turn the Party's plans into nominal capabilities and the Party's resolutions into reality unconditionally.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that during the 9th term of the Party, even more enormous fighting tasks are facing the enterprises and the whole country seething with transformation is looking towards the upper house, and he stressed that the joint enterprises should bring about a vigorous upsurge by mobilizing the boundless spiritual power of the masses to the fullest extent in all undertakings in accordance with the immutable truth that the reserves for increased production lie in the hearts of the producing masses and the intention of the Party to attach absolute importance to ideological resources among the three major resources of the revolution, and by using the power of self-reliance based on advanced science and technology.

Comrade Kim Jong Un took meaningful photos with labor innovators, meritorious workers and workers to commemorate his visit to the joint enterprise.

As the commemorative photo session concluded, the oath of loyalty to the great Comrade Kim Jong Un , who was the first to light the flames of a vigorous struggle to ignite the entire nation toward achieving new visionary goals, erupted into thunderous cheers, shaking the heavens and the earth.

DAE notice more plain red flags in DPRK over recent years?

Comrade Kim Jong- un 's speech at the Sangwon Cement Complex
(Pyongyang, March 2, Korean Central News Agency)
Dear Comrade Kim Jong- un gave a speech at the Sangwon Cement Complex.
The speech is as follows:

Comrades!
The proud working class and workers of the Sangwon Cement Complex, the nation's pride, strength, and most revolutionary force!

Having successfully concluded the 9th Congress of the Party and now facing a new struggle, the first thing that came to mind was the working class of the Sangwon, to whom I wanted to express my special gratitude as I looked back on the struggles of the past five years throughout the Congress period. So, I visited this enterprise first after the Congress.

The deeds of our esteemed comrades who faithfully upheld our Party's bold choices with unwavering loyalty over the past five years, which were by no means easy, and who greatly contributed to its implementation, should be widely known throughout the country and deserve everyone's respect.

The five years of unprecedented upsurge and transformation in socialist construction are imbued with the boundless devotion and sincere efforts of the working class of the upper class, and the entire nation must be deeply aware of this.

Although many people now know that Sangwon Cement is good, no one knows all the hard work of the Sangwon working class.

Comrades!

Just by looking at the passionate and combative comrades at this very moment, we can feel the overwhelming spirit of the working class, the fundamental force of the revolution and its strength.

First, I would like to pay tribute to the history of development of the Sangwon Cement Complex, which has engraved only the remarkable record of loyalty and patriotism from its first steps in operation to this day, and I would like to extend my warmest greetings to the entire working class of the complex.

Comrades!

There are many large and important enterprises in the country, but there is no working class group as solid and fighting as our Senate.

A powerful enterprise that upholds the Party's plans and intentions through thoroughgoing production performance and a struggle to increase production, not through words or resolutions, and that does nothing it cannot do. This is the honorable business card that has run through the history of the Senate for over 40 years.

In particular, the Sangwon Cement Complex under the 8th term of the Party Central Committee has firmly guaranteed the Party's plan for groundbreaking development and overall upsurge in socialist construction through its cement production performance, and has ushered in the golden age since its establishment by expanding its own production capacity and continuously increasing production.

In fact, all the tumultuous moments that have rocked the nation over the past five years are connected to the Senate.

In 2025, the final year of the five-year plan, the working class in the upper house upheld the Party's militant appeal and raised the torch of increased production, invigorating every site of socialist construction with great vitality and making a remarkable contribution to ensuring that the struggle tasks set forth by the Party could be proudly summarized.

Among all the precious things dedicated to the grand construction projects that have brought about the opening of the capital and the provinces, and the countless creations that have provided greater welfare to the people and led them into a new era of civilization, the one that holds the greatest weight is the extraordinary efforts of the working class in the upper ranks.

In the campaigns of creation and construction unfolding across the nation, the Senate was always at the forefront, not the rear, and its role was to act as a vanguard that transcended the mission of the guarantor.

The Sangwon's struggle, which raised cement production, which was unthinkable even ten years ago, to a level far exceeding maximum production capacity starting with the 8th Congress of the Party and continued to break the record for the highest production year every year, adding confidence to every step of our struggle and creating the possibility of success for such massive projects, can only be described as heroic.

Thanks to the unwavering support of the working class, our Party has been able to formulate and expand policies aimed at a century-long transformation, and along with the miracles achieved in the construction sector, we have been able to anticipate the fruits of the revolution that become more substantial each year.

Comrades!

The spirit of the Senate, the way of the Senate, the traditions of the Senate hold the secret of our progress.

Unwavering loyalty to the Party and the Fatherland, bold innovation that rejects limitations, and consistent emphasis on science and technology—this is the secret to the advancement of the Sangwon Party and the formula for the increased production of our working class and the development of our time.

Even at the last limit, which the Senate had deemed impossible, the working class, relying on extraordinary mental strength and scientific power, opened a new way forward for increased production.

When they were faced with production and increased production tasks, they were loyal and truthful people who knew how to read the party's determination to plan and prepare for another grand transformation in those numbers, and the working class of the Senate was the indomitable creators who believed that no matter what the demands of the country and the revolution were, they had to do it no matter how beautiful it was, and they definitely did it. It is because of this that the air in the Senate is always fresh and there is no enterprise that can match the Senate in fighting power and ability.

The fact that the entire working class and workers of the Sangwon Cement Complex are constantly raising and carrying out high demands, both ideologically and technically, so that they can perfectly discharge the tasks assigned by the Party at any time is a manifestation of the purest and most ardent loyalty in upholding the Party and the State.

As I witnessed the working class here rise up to increase production and its enthusiasm spread throughout the country, powerfully sublimating into a continuous surge of new innovations, I felt a warm sense of pride in the fact that we truly have a wonderful working class.

As a noble example of the times and a precious role model, he took upon himself the role of the eldest son of the nation, defending the Party and the revolution and carrying forward the advancement of our cause. His strong spirit and driving force have always been a great source of strength for our Party.

On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I once again extend my heartfelt thanks to all the workers, technicians, and staff of the Sangwon Cement Complex, who are upholding the great honor of our fatherland with their unwavering dedication and innovation , and demonstrating the power of the Korean working class and the advancing spirit of socialism.

Comrades!

The new journey ahead, with its grand summation of arduous struggles , strides forward with greater strides and goals of new development, and with greater ideals and ambitions, entrusts an even more important mission to our working class, the driving force of socialist construction.

We face a mountain of greater and more difficult tasks that must be accomplished for the revival and prosperity of our country, for the happiness of our people, and for the future of future generations. In carrying out these tasks, the pioneering position and role of the Sangwon Cement Complex are absolutely essential.

Here, where the indomitable spirit of the Korean people and the potential of our nation, which knows no bounds and advances tirelessly through transformation, are condensed, I have today become firmly convinced of the victorious conclusion of our revolution at a new stage, and I have confirmed once again that the powerful driving force for struggle, which is its decisive guarantee, has been firmly prepared.

The Senate's overwhelming patriotic enthusiasm and the momentum for increased production, which continues to innovate and advance, will become an absolute supporter of our Party's ideology and cause, and a beacon that calls the entire nation to a heroic struggle.

The Party and the government attach great importance to the Senate's production performance as the most important strategic indicator of national development. The more firmly the Senate supports us and the greater its growth, the more vital our struggle will be.

The working class and workers of the Sangwon Cement Complex!

I believe that the Senate, which has always been a great source of strength and support for our party, will continue to carry forward its honorable history and traditions.

Let us all unleash the unwavering spirit and wisdom of the Korean people in a new struggle to bring eternal glory to our beloved fatherland and fulfill the people's long-cherished desires.

I firmly believe that the working class of the Senate will always stand with me in the pursuit of the prosperity and development of the country.

Supported by the dedication and efforts of our comrades, this country will undoubtedly move forward, turning the calendar every day with vibrant changes.

I am firmly convinced of this.

I extend my warmest greetings to all, and I once again ask the working class of the Senate to play an irreplaceable role and exert itself for the prosperity and development of the country and the happiness of the people.

I wish that the sacred path of struggle of this proud enterprise, which embodies everything about our heroic working class, will always be filled with victory and glory.

Comrades!

Let us once again rise like a mountain for our great homeland and fight vigorously forward, forward, forward. (End)

I would like to retire in DPRK please. Kim save me from western state-pension destitution…

A haven for the elderly - Pyongyang Nursing Home
On the banks of the Taedong River in Pyongyang, a picturesque city, stands the Pyongyang Nursing Home, a distinctive Korean-style building with a gable roof.
Pyongyang Nursing Home is a wonderfully constructed sanctuary for the elderly, with Comrade Kim Jong Un personally initiating its construction and meticulously caring for it from design to material supply.
The residents here say that there is not a single thing in the ondol bedrooms, including the mats laid on the floor, the fluffy cushions, the backrests, and the wardrobes, that is not imbued with the warm affection of the respected Comrade General Secretary .
Everyone's heart is filled with emotion as they listen to their stories of tasting the first fruits of the season and receiving new clothes from the government.

When the residents miss their grandchildren, they visit the children at the nearby Pyongyang Orphanage and Pyongyang Children's Home. They also enjoy a peaceful life, tending to plants in the home's beautifully decorated hydroponic greenhouse. They are also provided with delicious and nutritious meals, so all the residents at the Pyongyang Nursing Home say they truly envy nothing.
There are days when our people recall with passion the more they see their bright faces.
On the first full moon of the lunar year in 2015, the respected Comrade General Secretary visited the construction site of the Pyongyang City Nursing Home (at the time) and gave valuable instructions regarding the construction of the nursing home.
He paid meticulous attention to every detail, from the problem of arranging the bedrooms with the right combination of ondol rooms and rooms with beds, to the tiles for the washrooms and bathroom floors, to the gardens and greenhouses where the nurses could work to their heart's content.
Even on this national holiday, when the entire nation enjoys a moment of respite, the elderly are enjoying the rest of their lives at the Pyongyang Nursing Home, which was built thanks to the warm love of the respected General Secretary , who cared for their well-being with the same kinship. (End)

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the destroyer Choe Hyon and learned about the operational capability evaluation process underway for the ship ahead of its commissioning.
Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the destroyer Choe Hyon on March 3 and 4 and learned about the combat and political training of the ship's sub-unit and the ongoing operational capability evaluation test process of the ship ahead of its commissioning.

He was accompanied by Comrade Jo Chun-ryong, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea , Comrade Kim Jong-sik, First Vice Department Director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Comrade Pak Kwang-seop, Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People's Army Navy, and officials from the shipbuilding sector.

Comrade Kim Jong- un was cordially welcomed by the Nampo Shipyard officials on March 3.

Comrade Kim Jong Un boarded the destroyer Choe Hyeon and learned about the marines' ship operation training and the performance and operational capability evaluation test process of the ship.

Comrade Kim Jong Un praised the achievements of the marines of the ship division in the new year's combat and political training aimed at thoroughly acquiring the military and technical qualifications set forth by the Party Central Committee for the operation of the new destroyer.

Comrade Kim Jong- un boarded the destroyer and learned about the marines' readiness for ship operation and weapon system service.

On this day, a sailing test was conducted to evaluate the destroyer's maneuverability elements with Comrade Kim Jong- un in attendance.

The morale of the destroyer marines who were able to conduct sailing tests with Comrade Kim Jong- un on board their ship was high.

Comrade Kim Jong Un highly praised the ship's maneuverability, which met operational requirements, and the excellent construction of the ship's control system.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed satisfaction with the smooth progress of all system tests for the operational commissioning of the destroyer and said the following:

《The operational evaluation tests of the new destroyer, which will become a new symbol of our nation's maritime defense capabilities, are proceeding smoothly as planned.

This is another angle of evaluation of the ship's design superiority.

We must build two warships of this class or higher each year during the new five-year plan period and accurately implement the plan for building a massive warship force.

Ensuring the concentration and sustainability of national defense economic power is the basic guarantee for the implementation of this plan.

We have ample potential, namely a strong research group and shipbuilding industry.

Our Navy's underwater and surface attack capabilities will grow rapidly.

The nuclear armament of the Navy is being carried out satisfactorily.

All of these achievements represent a radical change that has not been achieved in the maritime sovereignty defense zone for half a century.

Our navy will have a powerful offensive force, and this is a thorough defensive force.

If there are any forces that are skeptical about our strengthening of defense capabilities, it means that they are our enemies.

I will build the most powerful navy.

As I have already emphasized, I have no doubt that the five-year implementation process of the National Defense Development Plan will be a transformative process that will once again transform the structure of our armed forces and establish a robust defense capability.

We will protect our sovereignty not through words or writing, but through actual action and practice.

Comrade Kim Jong Un mentioned again the goals to be achieved in the shipbuilding industry during the coming five-year plan period, and revealed a series of tasks, including measures to be taken at the national level to modernize the Navy and the issue of enhancing the cooperative role of the Second Economic Commission and the National Defense Science Research Group.

Comrade Kim Jong- un observed the test launch of a sea-to-ground strategic cruise missile conducted from a ship on March 4.

Comrade Kim Jong- un said that this test is an important key element in evaluating the operational capability of the ship.

The test launch of a strategic cruise missile from a destroyer was successful.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction with the fact that the destroyer's marines were very well-trained in strategic attacks.

Comrade Kim Jong- un said that this powerful demonstration of force is a clear expression of the country's will to defend sovereignty based on firm confidence, and at the same time, it is a responsible exercise of war deterrence.

Comrade Kim Jong- un learned about the progress of the construction of the third Choe Hyeon-class destroyer currently underway at the shipyard.

Comrade Kim Jong Un highly praised and encouraged the working class of the country's reliable large-scale shipbuilding base and the technicians and officials in the shipbuilding sector, who are redoubling their spirit in opening up a breakthrough in the historic undertaking of rapidly raising our country to a maritime power in the 21st century by building the first multipurpose destroyer of the new generation, and in their struggle with renewed vigor to successfully build another Choe Hyon-class destroyer by the Party Founding Anniversary this year when the historic Party Congress is held.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that the workers and the working class in the shipbuilding industry should faithfully uphold our Party's line of building a military power by building powerful new-type ships, and that they should steadily push forward the pace of continuous innovation and continuous progress that will accelerate the radical transformation of our Navy.

Comrade Kim Jong- un 's visit to the destroyer Choe Hyon and the Nampo Shipyard is a significant moment, marking the beginning of the development of the Party Central Committee's strategic plan to gradually and qualitatively strengthen naval power, which will assume a crucial role in implementing the national defense strategy and exercising war deterrence.

Our women who enjoy a true life
(Pyongyang, March 8, Korean Central News Agency)

Our women, who live a true life with the proud title of Joseon women, celebrated the 116th anniversary of March 8th International Women's Day.
Every year on this day, husbands and children are more excited than ever, wanting to cherish, care for, and show off their mothers and wives who consider hardships a blessing and giving more happiness than receiving.
In the flower shops, flower rooms, and souvenir shops scattered throughout the city, you can see people busy selecting flowers, bouquets, congratulatory messages, and souvenirs to give to our women who nurture the freshness and beauty of our society and families.

Along with March 8th International Women's Day, when the blessings of the entire country are woven into a beautiful bouquet, our women are looking back on the days when they lived with dignity and pride as true female revolutionaries and staunch patriots, supported by the love of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .
Women across the country were filled with emotion and shed tears of gratitude as they looked up to the respected General Secretary who attended the grand concert held to mark International Women's Day on March 8, 2012, sent warm congratulatory messages, and wonderfully developed the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital Mammary Tumor Research Institute into a comprehensive medical service base and scientific research base for women.

Among them are female soldiers who reliably defended the defense line of the fatherland, their families, female scientists, female labor innovators, and female athletes who brought honor to the fatherland with gold medals.
The workers and employees of the Kim Jong Suk Pyongyang Textile Mill are forever passing down the great benevolence of their great father , who transformed the workers' dormitory into a stylish palace and hotel for ordinary working women and allowed them to hold a grand workers' meeting to celebrate May 1st.
Truly, no other women celebrate this day with such immense pride and self-esteem, boundless joy and passion, as our women do.

A quick reminder that oil is not only important as an energy source, but also for the chemical industry. In fact, the war against Iran and the shockwaves through the world oil supply are generating serious disruptions in a wide variety of sectors, one of the most sensitive being the production of synthetic fertilisers for agriculture. Pivoting toward nuclear for domestic energy needs has the benefits of dual use - electricity for the civilian economy plus making more nukes - and of freeing up oil for the chemical industry and/or its sale abroad in a time of high oil prices.
Btw, wholesome daddy-daughter time as usual in the DPRK.

What does the DPRK have to say about the US/Israel war on Iran?
Do DPRK citizens even know what is happening?

>>2740363
Of course they are aware, what kind of question is that
http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/134a0eb1839cb01381c703e9914418217c803522c57cfe459d330b95774ab08d.kcmsf

Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) – A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued the following press statement on Sunday:

Israel's military attack on Iran, launched under the U.S. active support and patronage, and the military action of the U.S. which joined in it are an illegal act of aggression and the most despicable form of violation of sovereignty in their nature from A to Z.

It was fairly predictable that the prolonged U.S military threat to Iran in the region would lead to an actual military invasion and it is a sure logical result of the U.S. hegemonic and rogue nature.

The DPRK condemns in the strongest tone the shameless rogue act of the U.S. and Israel which put their domestic law before the recognized international law and do not hesitate to abuse military muscle in order to realize their selfish and hegemonic ambition.

The U.S. increased acts for hegemony witnessed by the international community this year are an example proving their destructive role destroying global peace and stability and its grave consequences.

The tyranny's high-handed and arbitrary practices free from powerful counteraction and adequate resistance make those countries directly related to the regional situation pay dear price and give rise to concern that they may have a negative effect, which can not be disregarded politically, economically and geopolitically, on the region which has no connection with the present Iranian situation.

The world history highlights again the fact that the U.S. destroyed peace in the Middle East for its hegemonic interests decades ago but met with the geopolitical failure and strategic setback after all.

The unjustifiable war of aggression by the U.S. and Israel can never be tolerated in any case.

The relevant and interested parties in the region would be well advised to correctly grasp the nature of the offenders who chose aggression and war under the pretext of fake peace, and to fulfill their due responsibility in switching the trend in the situation of the Middle East back to peace and stability. -0-
