Kim Jong-un, the General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, engaged in a tree planting event on March 14 at the Saebyul District Park in Pyongyang, as reported by the Rodong Sinmun on March 15. This day corresponds with North Korea's Tree Planting Day, which is celebrated on March 2, while South Korea observes a similar event on April 5. Kim emphasized the importance of each tree in symbolizing the history and heroic spirit of the nation, calling on current generations to embody these values in their actions.

During the event, which coincided with the inauguration of a housing complex for the families of fallen soldiers from the Korean War, Kim expressed that patriotism is a powerful force capable of producing miracles and driving transformation in the country. He vowed to build a powerful and prosperous nation through this patriotic spirit, reflecting the regime's ongoing focus on national strength and resilience.

The participation of Kim's daughter, Ju-ae, in the tree planting effort underscores the regime's effort to promote family values and the involvement of future generations in state affairs. Photos published by the Rodong Sinmun depicted Kim and his daughter working together, reinforcing a narrative of unity and dedication to national development, following previous public appearances where the family was also seen engaging in similar activities.
