General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels, pointing out: "On the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, and through theoretical and practical breakthroughs since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization." "The modernization we promoted is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), and we must persist in promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization." In the 10 years of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core United and led the whole party and the people of all nationalities to make historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the country, successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization, and realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which entered an irreversible historical process.

　　Chinese modernization is based on the leadership of the party.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the foundation for the prosperity of the country and the nation and the happiness and well-being of the people of all ethnic groups in the country." Adhering to the party’s overall leadership is the fundamental guarantee for Chinese modernization to always adhere to the fundamental direction of socialism and forge ahead towards the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Ensure that Chinese modernization always has a strong leadership core. As a developing country with a large population, China is bound to bear all kinds of pressures and severe challenges that other countries have never encountered in the historical process of modernization. Only by adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership can Chinese modernization have a strong leadership core and overcome various risks and challenges on the road ahead. It is under the strong leadership of the party that the top-level design of China’s socialist modernization has been continuously improved and the political guarantee has become stronger. It took decades to complete the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, socialist modernization has marched with great success, and historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state, which has laid a solid development foundation and created many favorable conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　Ensure that Chinese modernization always advances in the right direction. Socialist modernization is an unprecedented undertaking, and there is no ready-made experience to follow, so it is bound to advance in exploration. Only by upholding the party’s leadership can we ensure that Chinese modernization will always move forward firmly in the right direction. In the new era, the Party’s overall leadership has been fully implemented and reflected in various fields such as reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and the management of the party, the country and the army. The Party’s core role of overall planning and coordination of all parties has been fully exerted, and the Party’s ruling ability and leadership level have been continuously improved, which has provided the correct direction for promoting and expanding Chinese modernization.

　　Ensure that Chinese modernization will always maintain strong vitality. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the backbone of the people of Chinese and the Chinese nation. In the course of long-term struggle, our party has continuously promoted the development of the cause of the party and the state with the sobriety and firmness of "rushing to the exam". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, effectively coping with the "four major tests" and resolutely overcoming the "four dangers", and the Party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal have been significantly enhanced. Our Party leads the great social revolution with the great self-revolution, leads the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics to win new victories, and injects great vitality into Chinese modernization.

　　Chinese modernization takes socialism as the fundamental direction.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The modernization we are promoting is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC)". The essential attribute of socialism determines the fundamental nature and direction of Chinese modernization, and highlights the unique advantages of Chinese modernization.

　　Adhere to the people-centered development thought. The people’s position is the fundamental political position of Marxist political parties. Different from the capital-centered modernization in the west, Chinese modernization always adheres to the people-centered development thought, thus forming a correct concept of development and modernization. The Chinese-style modernization concept of development and modernization is embodied in the people’s sense of gain, happiness and security, which is more substantial, more secure and more sustainable. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have won the battle against poverty as scheduled, built a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled, and the Millennium expectation of China people has come true. The people-centered development thought has condensed great power for the successful promotion of Chinese modernization; The continuous advancement of Chinese modernization has brought visible and tangible benefits to the broad masses of the people, which are beneficial to both the present and the long-term.

　　Unswervingly push for common prosperity. Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism. Chinese modernization is committed to promoting social fairness and justice and gradually realizing the common prosperity of all people by consciously and actively solving the regional gap, the urban-rural gap and the income distribution gap. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has deeply studied the goals of different stages in the process of leading and promoting Chinese modernization, emphasizing the promotion of common prosperity by stages. In the process of modernization, it constantly promotes common prosperity, profoundly embodies the socialist essential stipulation of Chinese modernization, and highlights the distinct advantages of Chinese modernization compared with western polarized modernization.

　　Promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society. It is the unremitting pursuit of socialism to promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society. Chinese-style modernization aims at promoting the all-round development of human beings and the all-round progress of society, and is committed to promoting the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, thus surpassing the modernization of western materialism. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has persisted in taking economic construction as the center, promoted the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinated the promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layouts, laying a solid foundation and providing a strong guarantee for promoting the all-round development of people and social progress.

　　Adhere to the path of peaceful development. Chinese-style modernization adheres to the path of peaceful development, benefits the world while developing itself, promotes the building of a community of human destiny, and constantly injects strong positive energy into world peace and development, which not only embodies the law of socialist construction, but also embodies the law of human social development, and realizes the transcendence of modernization of western expansion and plunder. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the concept of a community of human destiny, China has held high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, promoted the common values of all mankind, promoted global development and global security, enriched the path selection of human civilization towards modernization, and expanded the way for developing countries to modernize.

　　Chinese modernization aims at national rejuvenation.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the past 100 years, all the struggles, sacrifices and creations that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the people of China in unity have come down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the historical aspiration of Chinese people and the great dream of the Chinese nation, and it is also the goal of Chinese modernization.

　　National rejuvenation has become the mission pursuit of Chinese modernization. After modern times, China was passively involved in the process of world modernization led by the West, and the Chinese nation, which suffered unprecedented disasters, began to explore a modernization road suitable for itself and made unremitting efforts to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It can be said that China’s exploration of the road to modernization has the dual connotation of realizing modernization and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation from the beginning. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has anchored the goal of Chinese modernization. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the people of China have successfully embarked on the road of Chinese modernization, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

　　National rejuvenation highlights the internal logic of Chinese modernization. All the struggles that our Party unites and leads the people of China are aimed at building our country into a modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the historical process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our party keeps pace with the times to promote theoretical innovation and practical innovation, deepen its understanding, mature its strategy and enrich its practice in building a socialist modern country, and always firmly grasp the internal logic of Chinese modernization. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core proposed to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power in two steps in the middle of this century, and defined a series of new features of Chinese modernization, which provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual strength for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　National rejuvenation stimulates the spiritual power of Chinese modernization. Exploring the road to modernization is a hard course, which cannot be separated from the support of strong spiritual strength. Over the past hundred years, our party has always regarded the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its historical mission, and the realization of modernization as the historical ambition, unswerving goal, powerful motive force for continuous struggle and mission of seeking happiness for the people, which has provided lasting and strong spiritual motivation for promoting Chinese modernization. Inspired by this powerful spiritual power, our party united and led the people of China to successfully embark on the road of Chinese modernization and create a new form of human civilization. Pushing forward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization and strutting along the right path of our own choice will surely build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power.

CCTV News:Earlier, the United States announced sanctions against two China entities and one Russian entity involved in the development, production and transportation of Russian long-range attack drones. In this regard, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that China resolutely opposes unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that have no basis in international law and are authorized by the UN Security Council.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that China has strict control measures on the export of military products and dual-use goods for military and civilian use, requiring enterprises to conduct international trade in related controlled items in accordance with laws and regulations. Since the Ukrainian crisis, China has repeatedly issued announcements on the control of drones, and clearly stipulated that uncontrolled civil drones should not be used for military purposes in violation of regulations. Relevant departments have strengthened the review of export licenses for drones in accordance with the law, and intensified the inspection of illegal exports.

He Yadong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said that China resolutely opposes unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that have no basis in international law and are authorized by the UN Security Council. China will resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests against any vicious act of suppressing and sanctioning Russian enterprises on the grounds of China’s involvement.

Ministry of Commerce of China: Export control is an international practice.

At the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce of China on the 24th, spokesman He Yadong introduced that recently, the regulations on export control of dual-use items in People’s Republic of China (PRC) were issued. Export control is an international common practice, and this regulation is a refinement of the export control law, with the aim of integrating the existing decentralized system provisions.

He Yadong said that dual-use items are goods, technologies and services that have both civilian and military uses, or help to enhance military potential, especially those that can be used to design, develop, produce or use weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. Improper use after export may endanger national security and affect world peace and security.

He Yadong said that export control is an international common practice, and this regulation is a refinement of the export control law, with the purpose of integrating the existing decentralized system regulations, ensuring that the policy provisions are more unified, standardized and transparent, and enhancing operability.

Ministry of Commerce of China: The investigation of PVH Group in the United States is being promoted in an orderly manner according to law.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, recently, relevant institutions suggested and reported to the working mechanism of the list of unreliable entities that the PVH Group of the United States was suspected of violating the normal market trading principles and boycotting Xinjiang cotton and other products for no reason, seriously damaging the legitimate rights and interests of relevant China enterprises and endangering China’s sovereignty, security and development interests. According to the Regulations on the List of Unreliable Entities, the working mechanism of the List of Unreliable Entities decided to initiate an investigation into the relevant behaviors of PVH Group. In response, He Yadong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, responded at the press conference on the 24th.

He Yadong revealed that the working mechanism of the list of unreliable entities is promoting the investigation of PVH Group in the United States in an orderly manner according to law. During the investigation, PVH Group’s rights of statement and defense will be fully protected. After that, the working mechanism will make corresponding decisions according to the investigation in accordance with the Provisions on the List of Unreliable Entities.

He Yadong said that China has always handled the list of unreliable entities cautiously, and only targeted at a very small number of foreign entities that violated the market rules and the laws of China. Foreign entities that are honest and law-abiding need not worry at all. As always, the China government welcomes enterprises from all over the world to invest in China, and is committed to providing a stable, fair and predictable business environment for law-abiding and law-abiding foreign-funded enterprises to operate in China.

△ Zhao Bin participated in the 16th Pyongyang International Film Festival.

Twelve years ago, Zhao Bin, a native of Shenyang, began to engage in Sino-Korean trade. He traveled between Liaoning and North Korea, doing business in used computers, clothing, building materials, etc., and thus gained a deeper understanding of North Korea.

The following is Zhao Bin’s self-report.

△ North Korean street

I first traveled to North Korea in 2003, when I was still in college, and I went there just out of curiosity. I’m from Liaoning, and I’m close to North Korea, so I’ll go and have a look. At that time, North Korea was still in the period of suffering March (Korean famine), the economy was relatively difficult, the power supply was tight, there were no lights at night, and even Pyongyang was dark at night. As I went to North Korea again and again in the later period, the power supply was more adequate.

△ Pyongyang subway station

When I was traveling in North Korea in the early days, I had some observations and thought I could do trade, so I naturally started to do it later. It’s not easy for Chinese to go to North Korea to do trade. If he doesn’t know people in North Korea and doesn’t understand the situation in North Korea, it’s still difficult to achieve. He needs someone to bring him to join the trade. I also found a relationship at first.

Not everyone in North Korea can do business, but all clubs (trade clubs under the army or state-owned enterprises) or trade representatives do foreign trade. North Korea is allowed to do business in the name of clubs, and the staff of trade clubs can get rewards and rewards from the state if they want to complete sales or production tasks. Many North Korean staff lived in China in those years.

Go to North Korea for gold

△ I visited Pyongyang No.1 Middle School, and students used laptops in class.

When I was a child, I remember that some people sent a lot of old TVs to North Korea. Probably in the early 1990s, when it was a big old TV set, it was not ultra-thin. In 2007, I saw someone buying a large number of laptops in Shenyang computer market. I was curious about how so many laptops were bought. The store told me that they were sold to North Korea. Because first-hand computers are too expensive for Koreans, many computers sold in many North Korean shopping malls are old.

△ Overlooking Pyongyang

I started looking for people with Korean relations, and I started slowly. I transported the recovered used computers from Dandong to North Korea by truck through an international freight company, and wrote down the contact information of the recipient of the DPRK. Trucks can be transported across the border, and trains can also be transported through international transport. At that time, North Korea did not have so many international sanctions, and trucks ran every day.

△ North Korean street

Trade is ever-changing and all-encompassing. We will do whatever North Korea needs, bit by bit, from small to big, and with the expansion of contacts, we will know more and more partners.

△ Pyongyang Dacheng Clothing Factory

Second-hand household appliances and clothing have had trade peaks in North Korea. After reselling used computers, I went on to do clothing trade. Xiliu Wholesale Market in Liaoning and Wuai Market in Shenyang are very famous in Northeast Asia. In the past, Russians and Mongolians would go there to purchase goods. We pack the clothes here, transport them to clubs in North Korea and sell them locally.

Many Koreans come to China with goods. Some North Koreans go to the wholesale market to buy a lot of clothes on business trips. Because they are cheap, they go back and add money to sell them. Now it is also the case.

△ I am accompanied by Ms. Hua Qing from North Korea.

Besides selling clothes, I have also done building materials, bulk commodities and so on. What North Korea lacked in the past, we immediately prepared it, and this kind of trade is very easy to do. When it was not sanctioned, the funds were relatively abundant. Now, after years of sanctions, North Korea’s economy is relatively weak. For example, it needs cash, but it can’t give you a refund immediately. Now both sides are afraid of being cheated in business, and there have been tragedies of being cheated before, so North Korea needs people like us.

△ I went to Pyongyang to have an interview with people from the club.

In the early years, I didn’t have to go to North Korea often. I communicated with clubs or trade representatives by sending international faxes and making phone calls. Conditional units would have a landline and fax to receive international calls. We couldn’t call their mobile phones, but only the landline. As soon as a dozen landline phones are called for someone, the person who answers the phone will shout all over the building, and then he will hear the footsteps of someone running to answer the phone.

I still use my computer to send emails. The other party needs to register my email address with the communication department before sending it to North Korea, mainly to prevent espionage. North Korea’s network is disconnected from the Internet. As soon as the club staff turns on their computers, they log on to the e-mail page and can only send and receive e-mails, but other websites can’t be opened.

△ Visit Pyongyang Dacheng Garment Factory

North Korean personnel are also very smart now. They have a relatively accurate understanding of the prices in China. They send an email directly in the form of a list, write down the prices clearly and ask me if I can do a certain price. Recently, I cooperated with the largest air-conditioning factory in North Korea, as well as the refrigerator and washing machine factory, which required tens of thousands of parts, and these parts were not new, and they were all used.

Go out accompanied by three Koreans.

△ I and North Korea accompanied Ms. Hua Qing to say goodbye at Pyongyang Railway Station.

△ stewardess of Koryo Airlines

In the past five years, I have traveled to and from North Korea more frequently because I gradually started to do business and cultural exchange of bulk commodities. Every time I go to North Korea, I take a train or a plane. It takes me 40 minutes to fly from Shenyang to Pyongyang. People from the Korean club will meet us at the airport or the railway station. Generally, there are three people, one driver and two escorts.

△ I am staying in a foreign-related hotel.

Then drive us to foreign-related hotels in Pyongyang. These hotels only allow foreigners to stay, such as Koryo Hotel, but the reception staff of the North Korean unit will accompany us throughout those days, so all of them will stay in hotels. Accompanied by North Korean personnel, you can ask where you want to go, and you can go to most places.

Sometimes the North Korean club entertains, and the atmosphere comes together, singing and dancing, and shouting "Long live the friendship between China and North Korea", which is often the case. Among all countries in the world, North Koreans should have the deepest feelings for Chinese.

△ at the entrance of international communication bureau

△ Inside the business hall of the International Telecommunication Bureau

Every time I enter the country, I will take my mobile phone card to the business hall of the International Telecommunication Bureau to activate it. I used to run a mobile phone card for foreigners in North Korea. It costs 200 dollars to open a 3G card, and the traffic fee is particularly expensive. I have to activate it before I can use it. When I went to North Korea in 2003, there was no internet, and I was not allowed to bring my mobile phone into the country. I had to stay in Dandong.

△ Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen cut the ribbon for opening a small shopping mall.

△ Small commodities sold in the shopping mall of Yimitai

Some time ago, I took businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to cut the ribbon in a small shopping mall opened in Pyongyang, and I planned to try it first. They are all bosses of small commodities in Yiwu, and some have their own factories, which make stationery, fabrics and clothing. They also contacted the clubs in North Korea through intermediaries and found the docking unit in North Korea before opening the shopping mall.

△ Small multifunctional ATM

North Korea Future Bank has recently developed a small multi-functional cash machine, and a small number of them are currently being promoted and used. North Korea develops software and we provide hardware equipment for the machine. These deposit machines look very simple. Insert the bank card, and the screen shows that you can withdraw money, recharge your mobile phone, and buy games and movies on them.

Korean people all have mobile phones, and you can also see low-headed people on the subway. But mobile phones have to pay to download games and movies, which is very cheap. A movie costs 1,000 to 2,000 won, which is equivalent to 2 yuan, and ordinary people can afford it.

△ I am wearing a portrait stamp with the head of the North Korean leader printed on it.

After years of trading, I was awarded a portrait seal by the North Korean government. This chapter is awarded to people who have made outstanding contributions to North Korea and needs the help of relevant units and clubs to apply. There is also a small ceremony when you wear it. It is very formal. A circle of people or several people surround you. A leader gives a speech first, praising his contribution to North Korea, then puts it on my chest, and then the people around him applaud.

If I continue to develop in Pyongyang, I may prepare to open an office in Pyongyang next year, that is, a branch. The Koreans call it a branch, so I can be more free. I can buy a car in Pyongyang and hang a red license plate for foreigners, which means "outside" in Chinese.

Life and consumption of Koreans

△ High-rise buildings on the streets of Pyongyang

△ Korea Hospital

Although I have been doing business with North Korea for more than ten years, I can only understand Korean, but I can’t speak it very well. The accompanying staff often introduce me. The North Korean government attaches great importance to education, and it is difficult for the country, but the welfare policy is better, providing free housing and education for the people. Although there are some signs of buying and selling real estate, there are not many, and the government does not advocate or oppose it. Medical care is also free, which is called the national health insurance system.

I have visited the Learning Hall of Renmin University in Kim Il Sung Square, where people are taught many things for free, such as five foreign languages, Chinese, English, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. North Koreans are now working hard to learn foreign languages, and they are full of learning spirit. Their homes are all for people to study and train college students.

△ Pyongyang people like to eat cold noodles in Yuliu Pavilion.

After Kim Jong-un took office, North Korea can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Many new high-rise buildings have been built, and large national projects have been completed one after another. The whole North Korea has also set off a wave of making money. It is not shameful to make money, and the people also have the determination to invigorate the economy. In the past, North Korea did not allow consumption, even if it had money, it might not dare to spend it. Now it’s all liberalized. As long as you have money and can make money, you can spend it.

△ Department Store in Guangfu District of Pyongyang

The newly opened Dacheng department store in Pyongyang has luxury goods and international cosmetics, and many people go shopping. In the past, Koreans were not allowed to sell things secretly, but now they all turn a blind eye. At night, there are many stalls in bridge opening, a bicycle lane. Everyone sets up a stall and supports an LED lamp. The lamps are all the same, so many people go there to buy things.

△ Accompanied by North Korea who hosted me

Walking on the streets of Pyongyang, you can see that women’s clothes are also very popular, and all kinds of colors look pleasing to the eye. People don’t save much money. Without that concept, they spend money and pay more attention to the quality of life. North Koreans make their homes beautiful, and they are willing to spend money on decoration.

After all, it is the capital. Ordinary people have money. Some people also spend RMB in their wallets. There are exchange rates in shops. Many foreign currencies in North Korea are in circulation, including US dollars, British pounds, euros, RMB and Japanese yen. Some markets can only use Korean currency. I can only change RMB into US dollars first, and then change US dollars into Korean currency.

△ Round restaurant

The signs of shops on the street are particularly simple and interesting. In some places, restaurants just write the word "restaurant", which is called canteen in Korean, and shops only write shops, and the place where hair is cut is called barber shop, and it’s over, unlike our ever-changing signs here. North Korea’s signboards are not allowed to go too far, and their names must be approved, and they must be famous, such as Donghai Hotel and Yinhe Shopping Mall.

△ North Korean couple’s wedding

I once met a Korean couple getting married at the entrance of the hotel, and the escort told me that the red envelope given by the Koreans when they got married was US dollars, which was 50 dollars for a normal relationship, 100 dollars for a better one, and 1,000 dollars for relatives and friends.

North Korea’s fertility rate is not high, and the country now attaches great importance to improving the fertility rate and is slowly carrying out reforms. Women who give birth to more than five children in North Korea will be called "heroic mothers" and the state will issue certificates. If twins are born, a gold ring will be given to the boy, and a silver makeup knife will be given to the girl. The silver makeup knife is a dowry item, and it is a knife made of silver.

△ North Korean street

Visiting and trading in North Korea, I also saw more about the daily life of North Koreans. There are many taboos in wearing clothes in North Korea, such as clothes that are too exotic, jeans and more exposed ones. There are discipline pickets in North Korea. On the way, I saw the retired old lady standing on the street and watching. As soon as any girl wore something special, she immediately came out to stop: Why did you come out dressed like this? Not next time. Which unit is it?

△ Hanging paintings in North Korean hospitals

North Korea attaches great importance to the education of the main idea, and often holds meetings. In the supermarket, books with red covers are also sold, which are political and ideological study report books. Koreans will buy them, and the unit will organize study every Saturday, which has become a habit. Foreigners are not allowed to buy it, but I secretly asked the Koreans to buy one.

△ In the Enqing Hotel of Pyongyang Acrobatics Institute, North Korea accompanied the singing performance.

△ Korean people dancing in the park

The Korean nation has been a nation that can sing and dance since ancient times. In Pyongyang’s parks, people often dance together, and children can basically play one or two musical instruments, which seems to be very happy. Although North Korea is now cut off from the international community, to a certain extent, I feel that people sometimes don’t know too much and have no pressure.

△ Indoor volleyball court in Wanjingtai Children’s Palace

Koreans love sports very much. Every unit has a dual-purpose court, volleyball and basketball. They especially like playing volleyball and table tennis. From 12 noon to 2 pm, all units are closed. The whole company, regardless of men, women and children, came out to dance in groups, which was very passionate.

△ At the Pyongyang Marathon, Europeans and Americans came to participate.

△ I participated in the marathon in Pyongyang.

I have run two marathons in Pyongyang, and I have met many people from Chinese and Europe and America. Foreigners are so energetic that they are particularly curious about North Korea, but they don’t feel much after reading it.

△ I am accompanied by North Korea

North Korea is not mysterious, nor is it as terrible as outsiders think. In fact, it has been trying to integrate into the international community. It is a very normal country, but outsiders don’t understand it.

I feel honored to engage in economic activities and cultural exchanges with North Korea now, which can enhance the outside world’s understanding of North Korea. The longer I have been in contact with North Korea, I will have some feelings for this nation, and I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever.
