A video is going viral online, showing North Korea’s President, Kim Jong-un, crying and asking mothers to have more babies.
The video, taken at a big meeting for moms in Pyongyang last Sunday, shows Kim Jong-un talking passionately to thousands of North Korean mothers. He’s asking them to have more babies because the country’s birth rate is going down, as reported by Sky News.
“Dear Mothers,” Kim Jong-un began, “Preventing a decline in birth rates and good childcare are all housekeeping duties we need to handle while working with mothers.
“These tasks include bringing up their children so that they will steadfastly carry forward our revolution, eliminating the recently-increasing non-socialist practices, promoting family harmony and social unity, establishing a sound way of cultural and moral life, making the communist virtues and traits of helping and leading one another forward prevail over our society, stopping the declining birth rate, and taking good care of children and educating them effectively.
“These belong to our common family affairs, which we need to deal with by joining hands with our mothers.”
