While global tensions simmer, Pyongyang is leaning into celebration to bolster domestic unity. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a high-profile ceremony to commemorate the 53rd anniversary of the country's Socialist Constitution, originally promulgated on December 27, 1972. State media KCNA reported on Sunday that a national flag-raising and oath-taking ceremony took place at the Mansudae Assembly Hall the previous day.
A Landmark Anniversary and a Symbolic Oath
The event wasn't just a routine formality. It served as a platform for Kim to reiterate the state's ideology. According to KCNA, the leader made a commemorative oath, followed by attendees who vowed to "dedicate themselves" to the people's well-being and state growth. This year's Constitution Day arrives as North Korea continues to navigate significant geopolitical shifts, making internal stability a top priority for the regime.
Honoring Champions of Sport and Industry
The guest list highlighted the regime's efforts to showcase recent successes. Among those invited were the players and coaches of the national team that won the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup earlier this year. Kim personally met the athletes, wishing them greater success. He also lauded "labor innovators" for making 2025 a year of "great turn" in the country's developmental history.
The country is prospering and our cause is dynamically advancing without a moment's stagnation, thanks to the well-known and unsung patriots.
