The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said in the opening address of the Fifth National Conference of Mothers that in moments of hardship or difficulty, one would think of their mothers before anybody else, who gave birth to them, fed and clothed them, and helped them with their first steps. He continued that the same was true of him and that whenever he had found it hard to tackle problems in Party or state affairs, the mothers had come to his mind first.

Kim Jong Un said that each time, the thought of our mothers lifts him up and encourages him, the strong-willed women who go against all overwhelming odds for the growth of their children, that even in the face of trials, they had remained unchanged in their confidence in the WPK and had been invariable in their lifelong commitment to the country’s prosperity, and that thinking of these daring and self-sacrificing women, he would renew his duty that he must keep going even in the midst of exhaustion, sharpen his sense of responsibility and get a fresh strength.
