Meeting of Reviewing State's Disaster Prevention Work Held in DPRK
Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Meeting
Pyongyang, September 6 (KCNA) -- Today when a dynamic struggle for opening up a new phase of development of our style of socialism is being waged, the comprehensive building of a counter-crisis capability to prevent various types of disasters threatening the prosperity of the state and the wellbeing of the people presents itself as a very urgent task.
A meeting of reviewing the state's disaster prevention work was held from September 4 to 5 in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, to examine the country's overall situation for disaster prevention and take decisive measures for strengthening the crisis response capacity.
Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, guided the meeting.
Attending the meeting were Kim Tok Hun, Jo Yong Won and Pak Jong Chon, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), officials of the Party Central Committee, the Cabinet, commissions, ministries and state's institutions, those of the public security, judiciary and prosecution fields and leading officials of the provincial-level guidance organs, cities, counties and major industrial establishments.
Also present were commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defense.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made an important speech.
Saying that the work for boosting the capability to prevent disaster is an important work for defending the prosperity and development of the state and safeguarding the people's lives and an important revolutionary task to be prioritized for the rising generation, to say nothing of our generation, Kim Jong Un expressed the plan of the Party Central Committee for building the national crisis response capability.
Stressing once again that nothing is more precious for our Party and state regarding the people-first principle as the main political ideal than the people's life and safety, he indicated the detailed tasks and ways for putting the state's disaster prevention capability onto a new level in the shortest period.
Premier Kim Tok Hun made a report on data at the meeting to be followed by speeches.
The meeting served as an important occasion in awakening and arousing the entire Party, the whole country and all the people out in the struggle for preventing disaster to carry out the state's far-sighted plan and in remarkably improving the national crisis response capability.
Love for Future Carried Forward through Generations
There has been no such great man as President Kim Il Sung who showed ardent love and affection for the posterity, looking far ahead into the future of the country.
There are so many stories which convey the love of President Kim Il Sung for children. Among them, the story of the members of the Children’s Corps in “Maanshan” is still pulling at the heartstrings of people.
Late in March, 1936 when the arduous anti-Japanese war was going on, he came to the secret camp in Maanshan to organize a new division. There, he received the report that scores of children are suffering in the camp - hungry, cold and ill. Upon hearing the report, he went over to see them.
He saw to it that his only blanket was allocated to the sick children. He also had new clothes made for the children with 20 yuan, the only legacy left by his mother which was meant to be used only when he was put in such adversity that he could not overcome without money.
Then he sternly said to the narrow-minded personnel at the camp as follows:
Contempt for posterity is tantamount to contempt for oneself. How can we say that we are making the revolution if we neither feed the children properly nor dress them properly? The more love we give them now, the more prosperous, the more civilized and the more beautiful our country will be in the future.
Even in the last period of his life, President Kim Il Sung said to the officials that the more “loss” our country suffers, the more satisfaction it will bring, and that as long as the socialist system exists in our country and as long as the tradition of Mt. Paektu is being carried forward, the state policy of providing children with clothes will be there, in the future, too.
Chairman Kim Jong Il constantly adhered to the creed that the Party and the state should take full responsibility for upbringing new generations. Even during the period when every penny counted, he resolved all the issues arising in producing school uniforms so that the production could continue without interruption.
Inheriting the noble will of the President and the Chairman – the love for posterity - respected Comrade Kim Jong Un took important measures to provide all students across the country with new types of school uniforms and school bags at the end of last year. He personally reviewed numerous school uniform designs one by one and gave detailed instructions including choice of the right color.
Hence bright and happy faces of schoolchildren looking smart in seasonable new school uniforms are adorning the streets from spring of this year to the delight of our people.
A personage from Bangladesh, looking at the bright faces of our schoolchildren wearing school uniforms, said as follows:
There is no country but the DPRK where the state supplies all the children and schoolchildren with school uniforms, school bags and school things. Though it is not affluent yet, the country would spare nothing for posterity. It is indeed the world of happy children, the kingdom of children.
The Nepalese newspaper “Arpan” reported that respected Comrade Kim Jong Un’s warm love for posterity knows no bounds.
As is appreciated by the international society at large, the people-oriented policy of providing children with school uniforms, school bags and school things at the expense of the state and the Party will continue throughout generations in our country for we hold in high esteem the benevolent leader who sets the greatest store by children and loves them most dearly.
Roof Greening in Pyongyang
Roof greening is actively carried on in several parts of Pyongyang, the capital city of the Democratic People’ Republic of Korea, including Changjon, Mirae Scientists and Ryomyong streets.
