President Kim Il Sung among the students of Tongju Middle School in Pyoktong County in October 1957
April 15, 2026 is the 114th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
Regarding “The people are my god” as his motto, he devoted his all throughout his life for the wellbeing of the people.
Continuing the journey of on-site guidance, he discussed state affairs with the people to encourage them to work miracles and innovations, and lent an ear to their simple opinions to reflect their aspirations and demands in the policies of the state and the Workers’ Party of Korea and bring them into reality.
The units he gave on-site guidance at from August 1945, the year when Korea was liberated, to 1994, the year when he passed away, number over 20 600.
Under his guidance, the Koreans became an independent and heroic people, and a people-centred socialist system was built in their country.
Holding him in high esteem as the eternal leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Korean people are dynamically pushing ahead with the efforts to build theirs into a powerful socialist country true to his lifetime intentions.
