President of the DPRK Kim Il Sung made public "Theses on the Socialist Rural Question in Our Country" in February, 1964.

Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, in his New Year Address said that 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the socialist rural theses by Kim Il Sung.

The DPRK is attaching great importance to agriculture in the economic construction and the drive for improving the people's living standard and holding fast to the socialist rural theses in the work for increasing agricultural production.

Great changes took place in the agricultural sector of the DPRK after the publication of the socialist rural theses.

In particular, the ideological, technical and cultural revolutions in the countryside have been stepped up and agriculture has made a big contribution to developing the national economy and improving the people's living standard.

The DPRK is now waging a dynamic drive for increasing grain production.

The great vitality of the socialist rural theses will be fully displayed in the future, too.
