Strong and Prosperous Nation
Strong and Prosperous Nation (Korean: 강성대국; MR: kangsŏngtaeguk; lit. "powerful and great country") is a policy initiated by North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-il. The term first appeared in North Korean media in August 1998 in reference to Kim Jong-il having provided "on-the-spot guidance" in Chagang Province in February 1998.[1] In an effort to build a “strong and prosperous” nation, North Korea focuses on four areas: ideology, politics, the military, and the economy.[2] Kim Jong-il's son and successor Kim Jong-un declared 2012, the centennial of the birth of Kim Il-sung, as the year of Strong and Prosperous Nation.
