“Cultured Rural Town” Springs Up at Flood-hit Area
A grand ceremony was held on December 21, 2024, in the presence of Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, to inaugurate the dwelling houses built on an island in the lower reaches of the Amnok River flowing along the country’s northwestern border.
The island area was hit by a devastating flood in July that year.
Thanks to the strong relief measures taken by the Workers’ Party of Korea and the government, however, the area has turned into a wonderful “cultured rural town” in a little over four months which comprehends rock-solid embankments immune to any floods, thousands of modern houses, nurseries, kindergartens, schools and hospitals.
