DPRK News
Admin’s note: is DPRK economic success due to Russia? Since the incredible successes and victories in housing,industrialization and social services, capitalist medias have given up their strategy of proving DPRK is a country with only homeless and hungry…
Kim Ji Yong, "Struggle Against the Old with the Support of the People", Choson Sinbo, 29 March 2021:
The shortcomings and malpractices criticized at the Party Congress did not emerge suddenly overnight. They were repeated and accumulated over time, solidifying into misguided work methods that ultimately led to stagnation in various sectors of the economy.
For instance, during the period when the Party Congress was not held regularly, there was a time of trial known as the Arduous March and the Forced March. In the 1990s, the collapse of the world socialist market, the persistent attempts by hostile forces to isolate and stifle the country, and successive natural disasters dealt a heavy blow to the national economy.
Countless factories and enterprises ground to a halt, and the people continued to suffer from food shortages and difficult living conditions.
As the original socialist work system struggled to maintain order, various sectors and units fought their own battles to survive independently.
We also heard slogans calling for [local self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
However, looking back from today's standpoint, when our national power has grown and the country is pursuing normal development in all areas, these were merely transitional and temporary measures of the past.
If outdated management practices persist-such as each sector and unit trying to survive on its own while pursuing only narrow, immediate interests without regard for the national good—it will encourage disorder and departmentalism, gradually eroding the state's economic authority and control. Meanwhile, if the Cabinet fails to fulfill its role properly and unified guidance and strategic management of economic affairs are not carried out effectively, self-interested economic activities pursuing individual gain outside the state's control will never be eradicated.
To put an end to this vicious cycle, the Party Congress has been taken as a turning point to implement a major transformation, not merely partial improvements or reforms, but a fundamental overhaul of the overall work of the national economy.

Today's test is of great significance in improving the effectiveness of our strategic deterrent. The self-steered precisely guided flight system, which can neglect any outside intervention, is a major feature that demonstrates the superiority of this weapon system. As I have always emphasized, the relevant activities we conduct are clearly aimed at none other than further raising the level of our deterrent against a nuclear war.
