Regions Are Changing!
In the stirring period when the long-cherished dreams and ideals of the people come true everybody says the regions are changing.This is not an abstract word today, but a real fact that everyone sees, feels and understands for sure.
It is a fortune, pride and honour of our generation to feel in reality and vivid picture the validity of the great action programme for regional rejuvenation, a new nation-building programme of the Workers' Party of Korea unknown in human history and record its genuine weight in history.
Socialist Countryside Changed

These represent the consistent efforts of the WPK for realizing the dreams and ideals of the people.
Regions are changing!
It is less than four years after the rural revolution programme of the new era was presented and only a year and some months after the start of the regional industry revolution. But the Korean people witness the wonderful entities brought by it every day and every moment and the local people feel the benefits in their life.
Thanks to him, our era is very bright and the precious future of our people is so rosy.
