North Korea dictator, Kim Jong profusely broke down in tears in front of thousands of women as he begged them to give birth to more children saying it’s in their duty to stop the child declining rate in the country.
Kim Jong Un while in a emotional plea is seen dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief while addressing thousands of women at a “National Mothers” Meeting in Pyongyang on Sunday, December 3.
“Preventing a decline in birth rates and good childcare are all of our housekeeping duties we need to handle while working with mothers,” Kim said at the event as he also urged the women to impel the values of his communist party in their children.
It was also seen that the Korean women who were present at the event, dressed in their traditional attire also wept along their leader.
The event – the first National Mothers’ Meeting in 11 years – was put on amid a fall in the isolationist state’s birth rate, which has evidently prompted concern among the DPRK’s (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) top officials.
Addressing the audience as ‘Dear Mothers’, Kim told them “we are confronted with a host of social tasks that our mothers should join to tackle these tasks,” he said’.
“Include bringing up their children so that they will steadfastly carry forward our revolution, eliminating the recently-increasing non-socialist practices, promoting family harmony and social unity, establishing a sound way of cultural and moral life, making the communist virtues and traits of helping and leading one another forward prevail over our society, stopping the declining birth rate, and taking good care of children and educating them effectively.
These belong to our common family affairs, which we need to deal with by joining hands with our mothers,” he added.
A teary Kim Jong Un said on Monday it is a duty of women to halt the freefall in North Korea’s birth rate in order to strengthen national power, as his government steps up the call for the people to have more children.
