One day in January 2016, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Textile Mill.

Looking round the factory, he stopped walking in front of a high-temperature high-pressure pattern jigger made by teachers and researchers of a university.

A teacher of the university explained in detail about the superior performance of the machine.

Listening to his explanation, Kim Jong Un said with a bright smile on his face: How good it is that we have made the machine by ourselves! Self-reliance is the only way to live.

The spirit of self-reliance cannot be got for money, he added.

The instruction reflected the great trust and expectation of Kim Jong Un who wants the officials, workers and technicians to more fully display the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance in building a powerful socialist country.

It is his noble intention to achieve the overall development of socialism overcoming all the challenges and difficulties in the spirit of self-reliance of the people.

True to his intention, the spirit of self-reliance is fully displayed in all sectors and units of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
