North Korea published a propaganda photo book celebrating Kim Jong Un’s achievements this year, but images inside suggest that some of the country’s premiere 2020 initiatives — like the opening of a major hospital — are still not finished and are well past deadline.
The new photobook highlights large-scale events like the country’s Oct. 10 military parade and the opening of Samjiyeon City People’s Hospital that same month. However, the book does not mention opening the Pyongyang General Hospital or Wonsan-Kalma resort by their initial deadlines, nor does it show pictures of finished construction.
