North Korea prioritizes the people: housing, healthcare, factories, and disaster relief under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.

If something is for the people, the DPRK practices it unfailingly regardless of favorable or unfavorable conditions, which draws the attention of the world.

Despite the difficulties, policies for the people are consistently implemented, measures for their health and safety are implemented, and efforts are made to improve the lives of the population.

At the end of July 2024, parts of the northern provinces were damaged by flooding. However, within four months, a perfect "cultural city" and wonderful villages were built in the same areas.

In the four years since the announcement of the construction of housing for 50,000 households, construction has been underway in the Songhwa, Hwasong, Rimhung, and Jonwi subdivisions. Also that year, another modern subdivision was built in the Hwasong area. Upon completion of the first year of the "20x10 Local Development Policy," numerous modern factories for local industries were built in 20 cities and districts. In mountainous and remote villages, housing tailored to the specific characteristics of their regions and areas was built and distributed free of charge to agricultural workers.

This reality is unimaginable without the appreciation and love for the people of Kim Jong Un, Chairman of State Affairs.

His policy is based on the priority of the popular masses. His absolute guideline is to give top priority to the interests and comforts of the people, and his goal is to realize their dream and ideal to the highest degree. His slogan is "Everything for the people, and everything with the support of the popular masses!"

For him, what is the people?

The President paid a congratulatory visit to a helicopter unit of the Korean People's Army Air Force, which had been quickly deployed to the affected area in the northwest region of North Phyong-an Province last August and had performed significantly in rescuing 4,200 victims. He delivered an encouraging speech to the pilots, during which he made the very significant remark that "the people are the heavens."

And at the opening ceremony of a greenhouse and seedbed farm far from the capital, he said that geographically there is a faraway place and a close one, but in his soul there is no faraway town and a close one, and with the aim of supplying a variety of vegetables to the inhabitants in all seasons of the year, he had the important military bases removed to build large greenhouse farms there.

On April 15, the groundbreaking ceremony for the third phase of the Hwasong area, a residential complex featuring skyscrapers and other high-rise buildings, as well as distinctive, highly symbolic commercial and food service centers, took place in Pyongyang's Hwasong district.

At the ceremony, Chairman of State Affairs Kim Jong Un cut the ribbon and, during a meeting with workers and the elderly who would be moving into the new homes, said he was sorry for the late delivery of the modern homes, that seeing the citizens so excited and happy reaffirmed his determination to work harder for the people, and that he wished everyone health and happiness in their new homes.
