North Korean leader Kim Jong Un toured the internal facilities of the newly completed Central Cadres Training School of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
On the 16th, the KCNA reported that Kim toured and gave field guidance to the completed Central Cadres Training School the previous day, stating, “He admired the grandeur of the educational hall, which assures the firmness of our party’s future for ten million years.”
According to the news agency, Kim expressed satisfaction during his tour of the completed Central Cadre Training School: “The more I see it, the more majestic it looks.”
Kim praised the school, saying, “We have built a school that is a model educational institution with our hands,” and, “We have set the highest standard among our country’s educational institutions.”
He added, “Central Cadres Training School of the Workers’ Party of Korea will contribute to the strengthening, development, and eternal prosperity of the Workers’ Party of Korea by always being faithful to its significant and sacred mission of nurturing real backbone personnel and pure followers of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.”
During his visit, Kim toured various places, including the educational section, administration building, the general lecture room and multi-purpose lecture hall at the school building, conference hall, library, gymnasium, dormitory, dining hall, and other parts of the school, and checked the fulfillment of the tasks he had assigned during his inspection of the construction site on March 30.
Previously, Kim had shown interest in the project, personally selecting the construction site and encouraging its completion by visiting it in March and suggesting improvements.
The Central Cadre Training School in Pyongyang is the highest educational institution that trains and re-educates party executives. It was established in June 1946 as the Central Party School (later renamed Kim Il Sung Higher Party School). It appears that the school will hold its opening ceremony on June 1, the anniversary of its establishment.
Since April of last year, North Korea has been promoting a project to improve the school’s scale, capacity, educational conditions, and environment in a modern and advanced manner. The Kim Il Sung Higher Party School appears to have been dissolved and renamed the Central Cadre School after being criticized for bureaucracy and corruption at the expanded meeting of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee held in February 2020.
Kim visited the Central Cadre Training School in October 2022. He gave a commemorative lecture, emphasizing the school’s crucial mission: “Today, our party is facing a responsible period where we must continue the rule of nearly 80 years for 100 years or more.”
