“I thought over what I would say first at this moment, when we will be looking back upon every page of our Party’s 75-year history filled with glory, but my heartfelt, sincere word for our people is only one, thanks.”
This is a part of what Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea, said in his speech delivered at the military parade held in celebration of the 75th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
His speech moved the Korean people and the whole world.
In retrospect, this year the DPRK was faced with huge challenges and difficulties, like dealing with the anti-epidemic emergency and recovering from the catastrophic natural disasters, when everything was in short supply owing to the harsh sanctions by the hostile forces. All of these hardships were undoubtedly a heavy burden and pain for every family and every citizen in the country.
The Korean people, however, did not feel pessimism or vacillation.
Rather they placed national affairs before their family ones, shared every difficulty experienced by the state with it, and firmly supported the guidance of their leader and the WPK with their sweats and sincere efforts.
As a result, the country witnessed unbelievable reality in which none of its population fell victim to the malignant virus, and houses better than the damaged ones were built in the areas stricken by natural disasters.
Kim Jong Un’s expression of this true feelings in the speech represented his heartfelt thanks to the people who have sincerely trusted in and followed their leader and firmly defended the WPK’s cause even in such hardships.
His speech also carries his steadfast will to put the dreams and ideals of the people into reality without fail.
The people’s dreams and ideals are just the same as his own.
In the speech he expressed his intention to invariably administer and continuously expand the advantageous policies and measures, which are aimed at improving the people’s wellbeing and providing more benefits to them, and said that sharing destiny with the people in the face of severe trials and experiencing the united strength of our people till now, he had come to know well what the WPK should do in the future. He continued that the Eighth Congress of the WPK to be held in January 2021 will advance plans and detailed targets for doing it, stressing that the ideal of the people is great, and the day when it is realized will surely come.
