We need more little Uns! North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un CRIES in front of thousands of women as he calls on them to have more children to halt country’s falling birth rate
• The dictator hosted a National Mothers Meeting amid a decline in birth rate
• Forecasts suggest the country could see a fall of two million people by 2070
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un cried as he called on women to have more children, saying that it was their duty to halt the country’s declining birth rate in order to strengthen national power.
In his seemingly highly choreographed emotional plea, the authoritarian leader was seen dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief while addressing thousands of women gathered at a National Mothers’ Meeting in Pyongyang on Sunday.
‘Preventing a decline in birth rates and good childcare are all of our housekeeping duties we need to handle while working with mothers,’ Kim said at the event, while also urging them to instil the values of his communist party in their children.
Many in the large audience – made up of women dressed in traditional multi-coloured garments – openly wept along with their leader.
But it wasn’t all a sombre affair. Pictures released by North Korea’s state media also showed the adoring crowd clapping and cheering Kim as he waved back from his seat, flanked by male officials in suits and military uniform.
