In a now-trending video, North Korea’s President, Kim Jong-un, broke down in tears while urging mothers to have more children.
The emotional moment occurred during a National Mothers’ Meeting in Pyongyang on Sunday, and the video has surfaced online, as reported by Sky News. Addressing thousands of North Korean mothers, Kim Jong-un pleaded with them to combat the country’s declining birth rate by having more babies.
“Dear Mothers,” he began, emphasizing that preventing a decline in birth rates and ensuring good childcare are crucial housekeeping duties. These responsibilities include raising children to carry forward the revolution, eliminating non-socialist practices, promoting family harmony and social unity, establishing a sound cultural and moral life, fostering communist virtues, stopping the declining birth rate, and effectively educating children.
Kim Jong-un stressed that these tasks are common family affairs, requiring collaboration with mothers. This plea was captured in the emotional video, providing insight into the President’s concerns.
