Lee Myung-bak, President of the Republic of Korea

PYONGYANG. — The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea celebrates its 65th national day on September 9. It was on this day in 1948 that the DPRK was established. Sixty-five years on, the DPRK government is now paying primary attention to the people’s living conditions and concentrating on the stabilisation and betterment of the people’s livelihood even under difficult conditions where everything is in short supply.

The government is vigorously pushing ahead with the building of a socialist economic power with a view to making the people well off in the near future. The convenience of the people is taken into consideration preferentially and absolutely.

Even when erecting a building, efforts go into setting it up in accordance with the aspirations and demands of the people under the slogan, “Everything for the sake of the people and everything in reliance upon the masses!”

Over the past twelve months many buildings, which satisfy the people’s needs for material and cultural well-being were put up including the people’s theatre, the Rungna People’s pleasure park, and towns and rural communities are being spruced up. — AFP.
