The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un set forth the tasks for the building of a civilized socialist nation in the New Year Address of 2013.
He said in the New Year address:
“We should spur the building of a civilized socialist nation to usher in a new era of cultural efflorescence in the 21st century.”
First, the New Year address clarified what kind of civilized nation is the thriving socialist nation to be built by the Korean people.
The thriving socialist country is a civilized socialist one where all its people are possessed of profound cultural knowledge, sound physique and noble moral virtues, enjoying a socialist life to their heart’s content under the most cultured conditions and environment, and a beautiful and sound lifestyle pervades the whole society.
The building of a civilized socialist country set forth by Kim Jong Un is a grand plan that enables the DPRK to have a perfect appearance as befits a thriving socialist country.
The DPRK has already been raised to the status of a political, ideological and military giant under the wise leadership of Chairman Kim Jong Il, upholding his plan for the building of a thriving socialist country.
The Korean people who are making dynamic efforts to win a final victory in the building of a thriving socialist country are going to spur the building of a civilized socialist nation as well as the building of an economic giant to usher in a new era of cultural efflorescence in the 21st century.
Next, the New Year address put forward the important tasks to speed up the building of a civilized socialist nation.
All sectors in cultural construction should implement to the letter the ideas, lines and policies set forth by Chairman Kim Jong Il, and develop education, public health, literature and the arts, physical culture, public morals and all other branches as appropriate to an advanced civilized nation.
A civilized socialist country is the civilized one that all the sectors in cultural life such as education, public health, literature and the arts, physical culture and public morals come into bloom and develop in a comprehensive way.
Chairman Kim Jong Il put forward the theory on building the socialist culture and the specific tasks for a civilized country.
The theories on cultural construction clarified by him including bringing national form and socialist contents into close combination and holding fast to the Juche-oriented stand in the building of the socialist culture become the valuable guideline to be maintained by the Korean people in ushering in an era of cultural efflorescence in the new century.
Upholding the instructions of Chairman Kim Jong Il, the Korean people have already made several successes in the efforts to build a civilized socialist country.
The successes made by the Korean people for only one year in 2012 are praiseworthy.
Last year the Korean people built lots of monumental edifices across the country and turned Pyongyang, their capital, into the centre of Songun culture to open a new era of Pyongyang prosperity.
That the Moranbong Band representing and leading the arts of the DPRK in a new century were formed and its peculiar and fresh art performance applauded by all the Korean people is a manifestation of the DPRK’s Juche-oriented art that has been developed on a new high level.
The work to implement the law on enforcing the universal 12-year compulsory education that was promulgated in the 6th Session of the 12th Supreme People’s Assembly in 2012 was pushed ahead on a national scale. New turn was made in the sector of education to meet the requirement of the era of the knowledge-based economy.
Brilliant successes were made in the efforts to translate the WPK’s plan for the building of sports giant into reality in 2012 as well as in the past. In the 30th Olympics and other international games the Korean at
Next, the New Year address set forth the tasks to make the people enjoy a cultured life of socialism to their heart’s content.
Feature of a civilized socialist nation is clearly expressed in the fact that its people enjoy a civilized socialist life to their heart’s content.
It is necessary to develop Pyongyang into a more majestic and picturesque city as befits the capital of Juche Korea, the centre of Songun culture, turn all streets and villages, mountains and rivers in provinces, cities and counties into a socialist paradise and set up cultural and welfare facilities, parks and pleasure grounds in larger numbers for the people.
The tasks to build a civilized socialist nation clarified in the New Year address are the valuable guideline to be held by the Korean people in the building of a thriving socialist country in the future as well as in 2013, this year.
The tasks set forth in the New Year address are huge and tremendous, but the Korean people are now full of firm confidence and courage.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un leads the Korean people’s building of a civilized socialist country in the van. As long as the Korean people have vast prospects for the building of a civilized socialist nation and the wise leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, their final victory is sure.
The Korean people will surely build a Juche-oriented civilized socialist nation in the near future.
