To Embody Juche Character and National Identity Even in a Structure
The respected Comrade
Looking round Pyongyang International Airport under reconstruction in July 2014, he said: Terminal 2 under construction does not reflect the national identity. It would be good to set up a gatepost of national style bearing the inscription Pyongyang International Airport at the entrance to Sunan Bridge leading to the airport and decorate the space under the roof of the terminal a bit conspicuously with a pattern of white tiger of the same colour.
And in late October 2014, he visited again the construction site at the final stage and stressed: It is necessary to introduce the world trend and what is good from other countries into the project. But what is more important is to keep our feet firmly planted on our land and design and build the airport as a structure with our features to meet the ideological feelings and national sentiment of our people.
Thanks to the wise leadership of him who paid close attention to ensuring that the Juche character and national identity was fully embodied even in a structure, the terminal of Pyongyang International Airport was built as a monumental structure representing the soul and spirit of the Korean nation and the might of Juche Korea.
