North Korea’s already weakened economy has suffered even more from the pandemic and recent floods. Kim Jong-un apologized.
Kim Jong-un publicly apologized for his failures in governance during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The North Korean leader regretted not being able to “free the people from the difficulties” and had to remove his glasses to wipe his tears during a speech at the ceremony that marked the 75th anniversary of the Workers’ Party.
“Our people placed their trust in me, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, but I failed because I was not up to it. I am very sorry for that, ”said Kim Jong-un, quoted by the official North Korean news agency KCNA.
