Mother's Day in DPRK
Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- November 16 is Mother's Day in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The happiness of family and the future of the nation lie in bringing up sons and daughters into true human beings, revolutionaries devoting themselves to the country and the people. This is the noble outlook on happiness and future the mothers of this country cherish.

Among them are a mother on Kubong Pass who put forward her all sons and daughters as road keepers while working as a road keeper for several decades, a woman scientist who devoted herself to the agricultural development of the country and a patriot who has cultivated green woods in a remote mountain recess with her husband.

Our revolutionary ranks are growing stronger as there are many diligent and tender-hearted mothers who sent their sons and daughters to the posts for defending the country and bring up orphans as they would do their own children, and mothers who devote themselves to the prosperity of the country.

Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un puts on the meridian of happiness and glory the mothers who bring up children, the future of the country, while pushing one of the two wheels of the revolution.

He is successfully carrying forward the noble intention of the great leaders who brought the flower garden of respecting the women. He saw to it that November 16 was instituted as Mother's Day. President Kim Il Sung delivered a speech "The Duty of Mothers in the Education of Children" at the 1st National Meeting of Mothers on November 16, 1961.

Kim Jong Un made sure that the 4th National Meeting of Mothers was held on the occasion of the first Mother's Day in Juche 101 (2012) and had a photo session with the participants of the meeting.

On the significant Mother's Day every year, all the sons and daughters of the country extend warm congratulations to the mothers bringing up their children with their love, feelings and devotion and upholding the socialist country.
