The DPRK is a genuine people's country which ensures the position and role of the popular masses on the highest level, it notes, and goes on:

In the DPRK the broad popular masses directly choose their representatives through elections to power organs at all levels and get their will and wishes realized through them.

It is a socialist state centered on the popular masses which fully guarantees the people an independent and creative life.

It is the steadfast stand of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK to always make the people central to every thinking and design and not to tolerate even the slightest element encroaching upon their interests.

The DPRK has paid primary attention to the people's living and channeled all efforts into the work for improving its standard and invariably pursued the popular policies such as free education and free medical care even under the conditions where everything was in short supply.

It is the WPK and the DPRK that make a flower come into bloom even on a rock, if desired by the people, and spare nothing for them.

The DPRK is now demonstrating its dignity as a political power which maintains a strong independent stand in the international arena, an invincible military power which no formidable enemy dares provoke and a scientific and technological power capable of successfully producing anything as it wishes under the great banner of Songun.
