He also stated, "On the occasion of the 5th National Mothers' Conference, the noble lives of the mothers of this country, who cultivate the freshness and beautiful future of society, have become a great pride and honor for all children growing up uprightly, and have shone even more as the inexhaustible strength of our Party and state."

Furthermore, the newspaper reported that he also took photos and held hands with the Choson Sonyeondan Celebration Group, who recited poems and performed congratulatory performances at this Mothers' Conference.

Chairman Kim, while embracing the student youths, encouraged them by saying, "Just as your bright and cheerful appearances at the conference brought joy and new strength to all mothers, I hope you will always keep the earnest wishes of mothers in your hearts and grow up more vigorously as the future leaders who will carry this country forward."

This Mothers' Conference was held for the first time in 11 years since 2012. Chairman Kim attended the event throughout the conference period (December 3-4), delivering the opening address and speeches, encouraging mothers, and specially taking care by urging their roles. It is interpreted as an effort to promote childbirth and prevent ideological deviation of the younger generation through the role of mothers within the family.
