On October 10, 2015, a military parade and public procession of Pyongyang citizens were held to celebrate the 70th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
In the lead-up to the event, the West predicted that in case the DPRK’s leader Kim Jong Un delivered a speech, he would surely mention nukes and missiles.
But their prediction went wrong. His speech, as the world commented in surprise, was run through with the word “people.”
Commenting on his speech, foreign media reported that he repeated the word as many as 97 times in his 25-minute speech.
In the speech he said: As I stand in this square of victors, the venue for the celebrations, I am so grateful that this venue of today would have been unimaginable without our people, and at this moment I am seeing the dear people with deep respect.
Nothing is more precious than the people, as they constitute the foundation of the country, and nothing is more sacred than their interests. As the working people exist eternally, so lasting justice and victory will be ensured by the struggle for the people and together with the people, he added.
Stressing that our Party will, in the future, too, strive to add glory to the sacred history of the people-first principle, he concluded the speech, saying, “Let us all make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of our great people” and “Long live the great Korean people, united single-heartedly around the invincible party, the Workers’ Party of Korea!”
