People often say that mountains and rivers change in ten years.

However, the DPRK witnesses a change in ten years every year.

In a year—this expression represents a calculation method of a Korean style today and is a catchword symbolic of acceleration in the new era.

Songhwa Street, the first product of the construction project for 50 000 flats in the capital city of Pyongyang which is the long-cherished desire of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, was inaugurated in April 2022 after ground-breaking in March 2021. Then followed the construction of Hwasong, Rimhung and Jonwi streets every year in succession to dramatically improve the appearance of the city. And with a new era of rural development ushered in, there have mushroomed modern houses on farms across the country.

One day, in a meeting with officials, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that if we toil one year, the country will develop ten years earlier.
