New Era Shining in the History of the WPK
New Heyday of Pyongyang
In recent years, the Voice of Korea has reported the news of the capital city of Pyongyang which is being changed magnificently in the new era of prosperity.
Pyongyang has been changed with priority given to the interests and welfare of the people.
New streets have been built in Pyongyang every year since 2022 after the Eighth Congress of the WPK. Songhwa Street and the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District were inaugurated in 2022, Hwasong Street and apartment houses in the Taephyong area in 2023, Rimhung and Jonwi streets in 2024 and the third-stage 10,000 flats in the Hwasong area in 2025.
The flats reflect the demand and aspiration of the people.
In April every year, people moved into new flats in the capital city of Pyongyang, full of joy.
Jo Chang Il, Department Head of the Sogu Public Buildings Construction Company, said he took part in the construction of 50,000 flats in the city of Pyongyang every year, and continued:
"Building 10,000 flats every year, many workers of our company were provided with flats in Songhwa Street in the first year. Our Party's policy is good and we keenly felt the love of our Marshal
The new heyday of Pyongyang is entirely a precious fruition of the energetic leadership of the respected Comrade


He participated in the groundbreaking ceremonies of 10,000 flats every year, examined the designs, visited the construction sites and made great efforts to complete the projects on the highest level.
He attended the inaugural ceremonies of the flats every year, cut inauguration tapes and hardened his will to bring a better future earlier, seeing the happy people.


New History of Regional Rejuvenation
Today the Democratic People's Republic of Korea witnesses a new history of regional rejuvenation in which not only the capital city but also the regions change radically and constantly in the vast sphere including all sectors and fields of the state development and social life. This is an eye-opening event to be specially recorded in the history of the WPK.
Doctor Ri Yong Chol, Section Chief of the Academy of Social Sciences, said the WPK presented a unique state building strategy of overall national prosperity, and continued:
"The respected Comrade
The regional rejuvenation is so difficult and huge a task that no other parties in the world have ever involved it in their state building strategy.
Since the words of region and countryside came into being in human history, they have always been the synonyms for poverty and backwardness and the differences between the capital city and the regions and the backwardness of the countryside behind the towns are regarded as an inevitable and insoluble problem even in those countries with tremendous economic power.
The WPK regards it as its greatest desire to eliminate the centuries-old backwardness of the countryside and that of the regions as early as possible and make all people enjoy an affluent and civilized life. That is why it made a bold decision to accomplish the gigantic cause of regional rejuvenation at any cost in such a difficult time as now."
The WPK advanced the rural revolution programme in the new era at the Fourth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Party Central Committee held in December 2021.

The WPK presented the regional development policy on carrying out three essential projects of building modern public health facilities, leisure complexes and grain management facilities in parallel with the construction of modern regional-industry factories in 20 cities and counties every year for 10 years, and is stubbornly implementing it.


"The respected General Secretary
The regions are changing thanks to the energetic leadership of





Offshore farms and a coastal tourist area have been built wonderfully on the east coast, boasting of a new civilization of Korean style, and new houses are springing up in all parts of the country like mushrooms after rain.
Last year a new cultured rural town was built at the northwestern end of the country, once hit by disaster, and today the Sinuiju General Greenhouse Farm is under construction.
The Komdok area has been turned into a mountain gorge town unprecedented in history, overflowing with the people's happiness.
Five years of overall national prosperity, a new era opened up by the WPK, were a proud journey that brought about eye-opening events guaranteeing our future to be more beautiful, in which the capital city and the regions change altogether.
