West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, called the scientists, technicians, workers and officials who contributed to manufacturing light aircraft to the building of the Party Central Committee and had a photo session with them.

He said the development of the Korean-style light aircraft is another brilliant success made in the struggle to glorify the undying exploits President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il performed for the development of Juche-based air industry and to build a thriving nation. He highly appreciated the scientists, technicians, workers and officials for manufacturing the light aircraft whose all equipment and apparatuses were home-made.

He noted this success fully displayed the validity and vitality of the party's idea of breaking through the cutting edge and the might of Juche-based science and technology keeping up with the world.

A firm springboard was provided for the rapid development of the air industry of the country, he added.

He again spoke highly of the developers of light aircraft who worked in the spirit of the workers in Kunja-ri in the 1950s to show once again that the DPRK does whatever it determines to do and provided a proud gift presenting to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the WPK. And he had a picture taken with them.

Accompanying him were Kim Chun Sop, Ri Pyong Chol, Jo Chun Ryong and Jang Chang Ha.
