Korea in Kim Jong Un's
KOREA IN KIM JONG UN’S ERA Foreign Languages Publishing House DPR Korea Juche 108 (2019) PREFACE Entering the 2010s, Korea still had to endure trials and hardships because of the death of Chairman Kim Jong Il and the ever-increasing political, economical and military pressure imposed by the hostile forces. However, it has dynamically advanced without frustration and retreat only along the road of socialism it chose itself, braving all hardships, and it is now making leaps and bounds at a maximum speed towards the realization of the people’s ideals. What is behind these leaps and bounds? What does Korea today under the global eye rely on for its existence and under what banner does it advance and develop? The Editorial Board publishes the book Korea in Kim Jong Un’s Era, hoping it will help those people with such questions. 1 CONTENTS 1. ENJOYING TRUST OF THE PEOPLE ………………………… 3 2.

Surviving Through the Post-Cold War Era: the Evolution of Foreign Policy in North Korea
UC Berkeley Berkeley Undergraduate Journal Title Surviving Through The Post-Cold War Era: The Evolution of Foreign Policy In North Korea Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4nj1x91n Journal Berkeley Undergraduate Journal, 21(2) ISSN 1099-5331 Author Yee, Samuel Publication Date 2008 DOI 10.5070/B3212007665 Peer reviewed|Undergraduate eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Introduction “When the establishment of ‘diplomatic relations’ with south Korea by the Soviet Union is viewed from another angle, no matter what their subjective intentions may be, it, in the final analysis, cannot be construed otherwise than openly joining the United States in its basic strategy aimed at freezing the division of Korea into ‘two Koreas,’ isolating us internationally and guiding us to ‘opening’ and thus overthrowing the socialist system in our country [….] However, our people will march forward, full of confidence in victory, without vacillation in any wind, under the unfurled banner of the Juche1 idea and defend their socialist position as an impregnable fortress.” 2 The Rodong Sinmun article quoted above was published in October 5, 1990, and was written as a response to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union, a critical ally for the North Korean regime, and South Korea, its archrival. The North Korean government’s main reactions to the changes taking place in the international environment during this time are illustrated clearly in this passage: fear of increased isolation, apprehension of external threats, and resistance to reform. The transformation of the international situation between the years of 1989 and 1992 presented a daunting challenge for the already struggling North Korean government. -

North Phyongan province. In brief Programme Summary: Although the torrential rains and flooding in August and September 2007, naturally affected the progress of the programmes in the last part of 2007, the Red Cross Society of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) was able to continue striving towards its objectives set forth in the 2006-07 operational plan. The floods were some of the worst seen in more than 40 years and DPRK Red Cross efforts during these months were greatly focused on bringing relief to those affected throughout the country. The Federation supply of drugs to health clinics in five provinces continued, but a large portion of these clinics were flooded and a number of them completely destroyed. An emergency appeal launched on 20August was revised 1 October with a focus on the re-equipping and refurbishing of the affected clinics. The challenge of the latter part of 2007 was to implement the emergency relief efforts while continuing the ongoing programmes in a coherent way. -
