North Korean Supremo Kim Jong Un became emotional during a speech at a military parade in Pyongyang marking the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers’ party.
The North Korean leader removed his glasses and wiped away his tears. He thanked his troops for their sacrifices. He also delivered a rare apology to the citizens for failing to improve their lives. At one point in his speech, the Supreme leader appeared tearful and seemed to choke up.
His speech stated, “I am ashamed that I have never been able to repay you properly for your enormous trust. My efforts and devotion were not sufficient to bring our people out of difficult livelihoods.”
Kim thanked thousands of the gathered troops for responding to the recent damaging storms, and for helping in preventing the COVID-19 outbreak in the country. He was grateful that not even a single North Korean had been infected with the virus in contrast to the claims of US and South Korean officials.
During the parade, the leader unveiled a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and new multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). He also unveiled fast and maneuverable short-range missiles ideal for striking targets in the South.
