Not affected by the situation, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is pressing ahead with construction projects in the capital city of Pyongyang.

In this regard, KCNA met Kim Song Dok, vice-chairman of the Pyongyang City People's Committee.

Q: DPRK-targeted war drills have been kicked off one after another in the area south of the Military Demarcation Line.

But, Pyongyang is now overcome by enthusiasm to finish the projects of edifices in time. Some days ago, a ceremony for the completion of Changjon Street took place in the city.

What do you think about it?

A: Modernly-built Changjon Street represents the will of the dear respected Kim Jong Un to build a thriving nation on any accounts as well as the determination of the DPRK people to bring about a rosier future.

The U.S. and its allies' anti-DPRK moves are getting more undisguised in military, political and economic aspects.

For example, the U.S. forces, together with the south Korean puppet army, launched the biggest-ever joint firing exercise in the area south of the Demilitarized Zone, with the DPRK flag as the target.

Our economic situation is still difficult due to the sanctions and blockade of the hostile forces.

Furthermore, the farming in the country has been severely affected by the devastating drought.

However, the DPRK servicepersons and civilians do not feel dismay at such difficulties.

The People's Theatre was already opened and a primary school, kindergarten and nursery in Changjon Street are ready to open.

Removal to new houses has begun, and the first wedding ceremony was held at a restaurant in the street, under the deep attention of Kim Jong Un and amid great interest of Pyongyang citizens.

The DPRK people will surely build a thriving nation as they have the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un, the best socialist system and the single-minded unity.
