North Korea celebrated the grand inauguration of modern rural housing in flood-stricken areas of North Phyongan Province, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s pursuit of self-reliant development. Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), attended the event, reinforcing the government's commitment to prioritizing the welfare of its citizens.

The ambitious reconstruction project, undertaken in response to devastating floods earlier this year, was completed in just over four months. Thousands of new homes, along with nurseries, schools, hospitals, and public facilities, now stand in transformed villages, epitomizing North Korea's "Juche" philosophy of self-reliance and unity. The newly built embankments, designed to withstand floods for the next century, and modern flats have redefined the affected region, showcasing the resilience and collective strength of the nation.

Kim Jong Un’s speech highlighted the pride in achieving this feat without external assistance, despite offers of international aid. "Had we relied on others, we would not have achieved the dignity we feel today," Kim said, underlining the importance of self-sustaining efforts as a lesson for future challenges.

Kim Jong Un candidly addressed shortcomings during the project, including unrealistic planning and inefficiencies. He stressed that the initiative was not just a disaster response but a transformative step toward comprehensive national rejuvenation. By leveraging the strength of the army, youth brigades, and local workers, the DPRK demonstrated its ability to overcome adversity while learning critical lessons to prepare for future disasters.

Looking ahead, Kim Jong Un unveiled an ambitious blueprint for the region, including the establishment of large-scale greenhouse farms on Wihwa and Taji islands. These farms, modeled after successful projects in Pyongyang and Jungphyong, aim to boost agricultural productivity and improve living standards. Additional infrastructure, including a vegetable science institute, new public welfare facilities, and cultural activity hubs, will transform the area into a thriving hub of socialist development.

Kim also emphasized plans to modernize Sinuiju, the region's capital, to create a "socialist fairyland" blending modernity, originality, and national identity. These efforts aim to reinforce the country's border areas and elevate them as symbols of prosperity under Korean-style socialism.

The event culminated with Kim Jong Un cutting the inauguration tape amid a display of fireworks and enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. Touring the new residential districts, Kim expressed satisfaction at the transformations, remarking, "What was once a scene of despair has become a splendid ideal socialist village." He praised the residents' resilience and dedication, noting that the project further strengthened the unity between the Party and the people.

Kim Jong Un's remarks resonated with the participants, including members of the WPK leadership, local officials, service personnel, and youth shock brigades. The project symbolized the unyielding spirit of the DPRK, showcasing the power of collective effort in overcoming hardships and achieving prosperity.

As North Korea prepares for future projects, the focus remains on advancing construction techniques, improving workforce training, and increasing the use of modern equipment. Kim reiterated the Party’s commitment to making the DPRK’s socialist system the envy of the world, ensuring the happiness and welfare of its people.
