The history of Korean-style socialism is the one in which it was pioneered and emerged victorious on the strength of self-reliance and self-development.

The Korean people have stepped up the revolution and construction by relying on their own efforts, technology and resources, not depending on others, and by their own style of struggle and creation.

From the outset of the building of a new Korea to eradicate the aftermaths of Japanese imperialist colonial rule, they strove to implement the Juche-oriented line which was adopted with a firm viewpoint that they are masters of their destiny. And during the postwar reconstruction to rebuild the country, which had been reduced to ashes through the fierce war against the US imperialist aggressors, they created miracles of history in firm unity with a strong belief in their own strength.

They completed socialist industrialization in a matter of 14 years, thus establishing a socialist state independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence. In the grim years of the 1990s when the imperialists were talking about the “end” of socialism, they boosted their capacity of self-development under the uplifted banner of independence to defend socialism and lay the eternal foundation for building a prosperous country.

Today they are making amazing achievements in the struggle for the overall development of socialist construction.

A new era of rural development has been opened and eye-opening changes are being brought about in all parts of the country, in which the capital and the provinces develop together, while removing the centuries-old backwardness in the regions.

Under the wise leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea, houses for 10 000 families have been built in the capital city of Pyongyang every year and modern and splendid rural houses built in rural villages across the country.

With the powerful promotion of the Regional Development 20×10 Policy, modern regional-industry factories have mushroomed and carries on production on a normal basis and each region has consolidated the foundation for development by making the most of local conditions and characteristics.

Wonderful creations rise up one after another including the Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Area, a world-level coastal tourist resort, and the Sinpho city and Ragwon county offshore farms, ideal cultural fishing villages.

With their burning love for the country and firm will to exalt its honour for the whole world to see by their own efforts, the Korean people will bring earlier a better tomorrow and a more prosperous future by supporting the Party’s leadership with one mind and purpose.
