Whenever the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea holds congresses or important meetings, unusual social climate is created in the country.
The news about the Party meetings arouses hearty support and sympathy of the Korean people. This is because new policies for the people are advanced at the meetings of the Party whose political ideal is people-first principle.
At its Eighth Congress held in January 2021 the WPK made public a plan to build 50 000 flats for five years, i.e., 10 000 flats every year in the capital city of Pyongyang. The news created an immediate sensation among the Korean people. At that time the country shut down all its borders to provide against the Covid-19 pandemic and its economy was yet in a tense situation. The Korean people were well aware that the Party adopted the decision not because their country had surplus money but because it prioritizes their well-being. Such people-oriented decisions came out afterwards on.
The third and fourth plenary meetings of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK held in June and late December 2021 adopted decisions on supplying dairy products and other nutritious foods to children across the country at state expense and supplying the schoolchildren across the country with new-type quality uniforms and schoolbags, respectively. The 19th enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK held in January this year set forth the Regional Development 20×10 Policy on building new, modern regional-industry factories in cities and counties across the country in ten years. It is therefore quite natural that such policies receive ardent support and sympathy from the people.
Confidence and passion are another aspect of all-people sentiment towards major meetings of the WPK.
When the Eighth Congress of the WPK advanced the policy of building 50 000 flats in the capital city, the world people expressed doubt about its feasibility. But the Korean people believed that the policy would be certainly translated into a brilliant reality and set about the construction project in high spirits. The WPK took all necessary steps to ensure that the construction of 10 000 flats and all other projects for the good of the people could be flawlessly completed within the set time, even though the units and areas across the country were isolated from one another after the entry of the malignant virus into the country.
Under such a trying situation every year has witnessed a groundbreaking ceremony for starting the construction of 10 000 flats and a large number of families moving into new, modern houses, with the result that the phrase “house-moving season” has been coined.
This is just an example. The Korean people are always sure that every decision made at the major meetings of the WPK will bear perfect fruit without fail. And they readily devote their wisdom, passion and patriotic minds to implementing the tasks set by the WPK.
