While giving guidance to a conference of officials of economic sector on January 2, Juche 89 (1990), the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung taught that he had the Grand People’s Study House built in the best place of Pyongyang city for the intellectuals and all the other people to study to their hearts’ content.
He said in the past, an official in the construction field had recommended this place as a site for the President’s office building, for it was big enough to hold a grandiose building, but that he had rejected it telling him that we must overcome bureaucracy and construct a building to be used by all of our people here in the centre of Pyongyang. And he went on to say that this site had been left vacant for a long time, so in the past, some foreign guests to our country had often asked what we had been planning to build in such a good place suitable for a big structure, but now they were all envious of us having built the Grand People’s Study House wonderfully in the best place.
