There were several question and answer sessions in which participants had the opportunity to ask the lecturers any questions concerning not only the theoretical field, but also the practical realities of modern life in the DPRK. These sessions were very lively, with great activity and interest of the participants.

And the ebullient , energetic , creative and strong leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un , whose activity and  determination with which he rebuffs the American aggressors, today is a source of great inspiration for all those who fight against imperialism, throughout the world.
