Kim Jong Un has urged officials in North Korea's propaganda sector to adapt their ideological work to align with changing times.
On September 19, during a speech at the third training session for propaganda officials of the Workers' Party of Korea held in Pyongyang, Kim stated, "We must actively explore new, innovative, and effective means and methods of propaganda that meet the demands of the party, the times, and practical needs. This will strengthen our ideological foundation."
He emphasized that "every revolution and struggle era requires a unique ideological power," adding, "Today, ideological work must lead the times." He cautioned against merely repeating outdated practices, calling it both easy and dangerous, and stressed the necessity of creating new approaches.
According to the Korean Central News Agency, the training session was attended by party secretaries including Ri Il-hwan, Ju Chang-il, and Park Yong-il, as well as Choi Chang-hak, the party's first vice chairman. This marks the third such training session since 2022, and it is the first time Kim's remarks from the event have been reported.
