North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a family mausoleum to honor his late father, Kim Jong Il, on his birthday. This was the first time in four years that Kim visited the mausoleum, pledging to continue the “sacred struggle” for prosperity and security. Kim was accompanied by his sister and other aides during the visit, expressing his dedication to the well-being of the country and its people.
The Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea since its founding and has built cults of personality around its leaders. Kim Jong Un has shown signs of trying to establish himself independently from his predecessors. He also attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a housing project in Pyongyang, part of a five-year plan to boost the economy. Some have questioned the feasibility of the project amid sanctions and economic challenges.
Kim praised the construction workers and officials for their progress and pledged to continue expanding the city. The project aims to build 50,000 new homes and create a modern city that citizens can be proud of. South Korea’s unification ministry noted that North Korea is focusing on producing tangible outcomes in areas where progress is easier to achieve, such as housing construction. Overall, Kim’s actions reflect his commitment to strengthening the economy and improving living conditions in North Korea.
