North Korea has called for ‘glorifying’ the era of leader Kim Jong-un as a large-scale conference on carrying out a mass movement for the country’s development wrapped up.
According to the reports, the 5th Conference of the Frontrunners in the Three Revolutions, which kicked off in Pyongyang on November 18, closed with the adoption of an appeal that calls for the glorification of “the great era of Kim Jong-un. The three-revolution movement is a mass movement devised under Kim Il-sung, the North’s late founder and grandfather of the current leader, to continue the revolution in the realms of ideology, technology and culture even after the establishment of the socialist system.
The conference took place as North Korea has been continuing to elevate Kim’s political status ahead of the 10th anniversary of Kim Jong-un’s leadership. He rose to power in December 2011, following the sudden death of his father and former leader Kim Jong-il. It marked the second of its kind held under the current leader after the fourth conference took place in November 2015.
