Kim Jong Un called for an end to the worship of imports, calling the popular preference for foreign-made goods a “disease” that must be eradicated.

The North Korean leader, known for his fondness of French wine, Swiss watches and British fabrics, made the statement at the seventh assembly of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea on Tuesday, in a letter titled “The contemporary mission of the working class of Kim Il SungKim Jong Il“, state-controlled news agency KCNA reported Thursday, local time.

GFTUK is the sole legal trade union federation in North Korea formed on November 30, 1945.

In the letter Kim said North Korean workers must “uphold the honor of the fatherland and the know-how of the people, and with pride and courage make with their own hands products better than [other countries], thereby eradicating the disease of imports.”  [UPI]
