In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, it is the foremost duty of the state to respect the people as the most sacred and omnipotent beings and thoroughly protect and take care of them.
The people are the foundation of the country and no state is greater than the one where the people are masters--this is the noble idea of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
Kim Jong Un once said that what the people desire is the Party policy and the state policy.
It is the most important policy of our Party and state to provide the people with an affluent and civilized life to be envied by the world. Herein lie the popular character of the Workers' Party of Korea and the essential superiority of the socialist system, which are guided by the people-first principle.
One day in August 2020, Kim Jong Un visited the area of Taechong-ri, Unpha County of North Hwanghae Province hit by flood.
At that time, hundreds of hectares of paddy fields and hundreds of dwellings had been inundated in the area due to days of rain and downpour.
Learning about the damage that day, Kim Jong Un said it was fortunate that there was no loss of life and it was most important to stabilize the life of the victims as soon as possible by promptly supplying them with bedding, daily necessities, medicines and other essentials. And he gave a task to the departments of the Party Central Committee and the families of officials of its headquarters to carry on the work with responsibility.
He added that the dwelling houses should be designed well, fully reflecting the will of the farmers and built in the forms they like and that the designs should be examined by farmers, not officials.
As said above, the DPRK gives top and absolute priority to the interests of the people and regards the people-first principle as its most important policy.
