PYONGYANG: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in his address to the 10th anniversary of his rule and New Year's Eve, called for the restoration of the economy instead of nuclear weapons, contrary to tradition in his plans for 2022.
According to the International News Agency, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's views and goals have changed significantly, which he expressed in a speech on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of his rule.
Kim Jong Un, who has always focused on missile tests and the development of nuclear weapons, focused on economic development and improving the lives of his citizens.
Instead of threatening rivals and playing drums, Kim Jong Un pointed out the economic crisis facing the country, where North Korea has isolated itself from the world by imposing a self-imposed anti-epidemic border lockdown.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's speech referred to nuclear weapons or more tractors, factories and school uniforms than the United States. He said North Korea's main goals for 2022 would be economic development and improving people's lives, as it faces a great struggle for life and death.
Earlier, in a speech to the troops, Kim Jong Un wept bitterly, acknowledging his failure to improve the living standards of his citizens. Kim Jong Un has also lost a lot of weight and rumors about his health are circulating and most of the affairs of the country are being looked after by his sister.
