[정치]North Korea’s Kim Jong-un Inspects Geomdeok District ‘Basassault Report’ … ’80-Day Battle’

[앵커]

As soon as President Kim Jong-un completed the schedule for the 75th anniversary of the founding of the party, he took a wide range of steps, including on-site orientation to the site of flood damage in South Hamgyeong province.

It is about strengthening the solidarity of the system by emphasizing the Aemin Leader Awards, and until the end of this year, we are also focusing on the so-called ’80-day battle’.

As soon as the program related to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the party was completed, such as a parademic ceremony and celebration, President Kim Jong-un rushed to Hamgyeong-do.

This is the Geomdeok district, a major mining area in North Korea that was badly damaged by the latest typhoon.

North Korean media hailed that President Kim had traveled through a dangerous gorge that has yet to be fully restored in the distant and rugged land of Geomdeok, and praised the efforts of the soldier builders who had cleared traces of severe damage.

President Kim said that he should be severely reproached for not paying attention to the livelihood of the people of the Geomdeok district and allowing them to live in an inferior living environment. They also promised to build 25,000 new homes.

In the midst of this, North Korea has entered the ’80-day battle’, which continues until the end of the year before the 8th Party Congress early next year.

In particular, we are encouraging increased production by saying, ‘If there is only rice, there is nothing to fear’ before the harvest season, while encouraging party members to take the lead before the attack, saying that the competition main of the ‘Battle of the 80 days’ are the party members.

While there are still no signs of accepting foreign aid in relation to the recovery from the floods, the government is also closely watching the North Korean trend.
