Newly Built Swimming Complex at Kim Il Sung University

The swimming complex built on the personal initiative of Kim Jong Il has a large swimming pool and wading pool. They have been built in such a peculiar style that they not only offer the teachers and students an ample opportunity of training their bodies and enjoying cultural rest but can host international competitions.

After being briefed on the formation of the building and interior structure of the complex, Kim Jong Il looked round its outside and inside for a long while to acquaint himself in detail with the construction and technological equipment of the complex.

Noting that the complex was not only designed well and a high level of quality was ensured in its construction but also all its facilities meet the scientific and technological requirements, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that another precious treasure has been created to be bequeathed to the generations to come.

Saying that every place of the flawless complex clearly shows the sincere efforts made by the builders, he extended high appreciation and thanks to the soldier-builders for having constructed such splendid structure in a brief span of time.

He stressed the need to successfully bring up the university students and pay deep attention to their living as they are treasures of the country who are studying hard for the prosperity of the country, sparing every minute and second.

Our party stints no money for the rising generation, the future of the country, and is pleased and proud of doing so as the education of the younger generation is one of the basic issues on which hinge the rise and fall of the country and the future destiny of the nation, he said, showing again such great solicitude for the youth and children as giving an instruction to build a world-level skating rink and wading pool in Pyongyang.

He indicated tasks to be fulfilled to manage and operate the swimming complex and ways to do so.

After going round the complex, he enjoyed a bird's-eye view of the university town which occupies a vast area at the foot of Mt. Ryongnam.

Kim Il Sung University, the first genuine university for people established in the country on the personal initiative of President Kim Il Sung and under his guidance, has turned into a leading university in the world, he noted, adding that the WPK and the people are highly proud of having the prestigious Kim Il Sung University, the highest seat of Juche-oriented education.

He highly appreciated the shining exploits performed by the university, saying that the university is, indeed, one of great merits as over the past 60 odd years it has trained a large number of revolutionary talents in the crucible of the arduous revolutionary struggle, thus successfully playing a pivotal role in carrying out the policy of training native cadres and the policy of intellectualizing all members of the society, and actively conducted scientific researches, making a great contribution to the development of the nation's science and technology.

Saying that Kim Il Sung University is a precious treasure for national prosperity to be bequeathed to posterity, he set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines for developing the university including a modern library under a long-term plan.

Let's push Kim Jong il in the pool!

[Galv140577]

Do a search on "Kim il sung" all you get is propaganda saying how great he was. The evil sick mass-murdering extremely cruel despotic totalitarian dictator's legacy lives on, and North Korea is still the cruelist most evil place on Earth. Millions are starving, brainwashed to death, and suffering the unimagineable nightmare equivalent of George Orwell's psychological horror novel "1984" brought to life in full gruesome colour 3-D actuality.

Kim Jong-il probably told the people of North Korea that the swimming pool was his latest invention.

Lol, if you peed in the water .. I can't imagine what punishments one would get.

I like this propaganda: first, they do something and, then, they say that "they did it". That´s reasonable!—I love it!

On the other hand, everything these capitalist imperialist agents want, is that DPRK starts obeying their bosses´ orders..., but they won´t; they are not capitalist slaves like many western countries are. DPRK is a sovereign country and has real knowledgeable people and honest leaders; no, they are not dictators, because they are not imperialists, like american leaders are.

North Korea is the ultimate archetype of a communist draconian state: like Stalin's Russia or Auscwicz, the best, the honest, the generous, are the first gone---all that is left are sycophantic slaves--all trying to outdo one another --- "Save me, oh great leader, no problem dooming my children and descendants into a slave's hell---just protect ME!. I don't know what sort of dogs bred li'l sung and jongdong....but their litter should have been put to sleep at birth.

[Squad2ND]

Ok, hands up those of you who thought about taking a piss in the poolwater!

[bryanthompson1]

@Galv140577 exactly. those who are defending the regime should look at video taken without the approval of the NK government. This looks great, but it is propaganda and doesn't reflect the actual lives of people in NK.

[bryanthompson1]

@saizobacon just look at the difference between North Korea and South Korea in terms of standards of living, and it is a world of difference.

[bryanthompson1]

@scoppy80 China got the way it did by adopting pro-market policies and becoming the factory of the world. North Korea is attempting to isolate themselves completely. North Korea doesn't have a well educated populace, it also has horrible long term effects from the malnutrition that swept the country for a decade and is still reeling from the disastrous policies of Kim Jong Il. This is a beautiful facility, but is is only enjoyed by a very small subset of the country.

@scoppy80

I don't think it is that we have this impression that North Korea as a whole is poor (although there are poor people in NK). It is more like we get the impression that the people are oppressed. NK is considered to be a third world country in terms of political and civil rights. Their people are also fed government propaganda their whole lives. So can NK become powerful? Yeah. Do we want them to? No. Who the hell wants North Korea's 'values' to spread? Not me.
