The Korean People and National flag

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said.

"However the situation and circumstances may change, Party members and all other working people should cherish the principle of our state first as an element of their faith and step up socialist economic construction in our own way. They should glorify the country's great history by working with sincere devotion and a patriotic desire for developing their homeland by their own efforts before the eyes of the world, the precious land of socialism which they have defended from generation to generation."

Today the Korean people live in the most dignified era in their history, the era of our state-first principle.

The era of our state-first principle is a dignified and proud new era brought about by the ardent and warm love of the respected General Secretary for the country and people.

The Korean people living in the era of our state-first principle are working hard to add lustre to the DPRK, the great country, with the great pride and honor of being the masters of the greatest and strongest country in the world.

The Korean people's intense ideological sentiments, expressed as the great pride that our state is the best in the world and the ardent will to build our country into the best socialist power in the world at an early date, are associated with the ardent love for the national symbol.

The national flag is defined by the constitutional law, the main law of the country, as one of the important symbols symbolizing a dignified state.

The love for the national flag is precisely the love for the state and the ardent desire to glorify the national flag all over the world will be more fully displayed on the road of building the dignified country into the world's best power.

As they keenly realized that the road of firmly defending and glorifying the national flag is the road of leading a glorious life as a dignified people, all the Korean people are living with the national flag as their life and soul.

It is a social trend in the DPRK to love the national flag and to treat it with dignity.

The Korean people's love for the national flag is growing stronger along with the era of our state-first principle.

The Korean people's ardent thoughts and feelings about the national flag are more intensely displayed in showing loyal respect for President Kim Il Sung, Chairman Kim Jong Il and General Secretary generation after generation.

The ardent thoughts and feelings about the national flag displayed by the Korean people are not merely respect for the flag symbolizing the sovereignty or territory of the country.

It is a resolute and persistent practice to remain loyal to President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, who liberated the country deprived by the Japanese imperialists, put forward the people who had suffered exploitation and oppression as the full-fledged masters of the country and trained them as independent people building a powerful socialist country without yielding to the vicious sanctions and blockade by the imperialists, and to remain loyal to General Secretary, who regards all the Korean people as the best people in the world as the great leaders did.

Looking solemnly at the national flag rising high in the sky, the Korean people are looking back upon the proud history of the DPRK implied in the national flag and cherishing the patriotism to bring earlier the hopeful future to shine under the flag.

The Korean people celebrate splendidly with the national flag even at major events displaying the proud history and invincible might of the DPRK.

The parade for celebrating the 90th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army held in Juche 111 (2022) and the ceremony for marking the 69th anniversary of the great victory in the motherland liberation war showed the Korean people's noble thoughts and feelings about the national flag.

The paratrooping technique holding the large-size national flag and peculiar flag raising ceremony and parade flight of the Air Force of the Korean People's Army vomiting red, blue and white smoke tells about the noble respect of Korean people towards national flag.

The Korean people's ardent thoughts and feelings about the national flag can also be found in the fact that the national flag is a part of their worthwhile life full of creative work.

The solemn image of the national flag of the DPRK can be found at the office desk of officials who are making selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people, in streets and houses full of joy and optimism, in the whole area of grand construction where new miracles and innovations are performed everyday, every morning and every evening, in the vast fields of the farms, and in the schools where the children are reading the textbook with clear voices.

Such a proud national flag, which represents their love for the dignified and powerful DPRK and their ardent pledge to glorify it and their enthusiasm for repaying it, is a part of the Korean people's daily life.

The Korean people will cherish the precious national flag of the DPRK with their unstinting blood and sweat and glorify the era of the state-first principle forever as they always did.
