North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the family mausoleum to commemorate his father, Kim Jong Il’s birthday. This was his first visit in four years, accompanied by his sister Kim Yo Jong. Kim expressed his dedication to the “sacred struggle” for the country’s prosperity and security. 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 stand more on his own feet without relying on his predecessors.
Kim also attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a housing project in Pyongyang, part of his five-year plan to strengthen the economy. The project aims to build 50,000 new homes in the capital, distributing 10,000 new apartments each year. Some analysts have questioned the feasibility of this initiative due to international sanctions and economic troubles in North Korea.
During the ceremony, Kim praised construction workers for their progress and pledged to continue expanding the city. The project is seen as a focus on producing tangible outcomes by mobilizing manpower and material where progress can be made more easily, such as housing construction. Kim aims to create a new era of prosperity in Pyongyang with ideal streets that the people can be proud of.
