Kim addressed the audience ” saying, “Dear Mothers, “We are confronted with a number of social tasks that our mothers should join us in tackling.”
‘These tasks, ‘include bringing up their children so that they will steadfastly carry forward our revolution, eliminating the recently-increasing non-socialist practices, promoting family harmony and social unity, establishing a sound way of cultural and moral life, making the communist virtues and traits of helping and leading one another forward prevail over our society, stopping the declining birth rate, and taking good care of children and educating them effectively.’ he said,
‘These belong to our common family affairs, which we need to deal with by joining hands with our mothers,’ he added.
