Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Regional-industry Factories under Construction in North Phyongan Province

Pyongyang, October 6 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the regional-industry factories under construction in North Phyongan Province and guided the construction project.

Accompanying him were Ri Yong Gil, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, Jong Kyong Thaek, director of the KPA General Political Bureau, Jong Myong Do, first deputy chief of the KPA General Staff, Kim Yong Bok and Ri Chang Ho, deputy chiefs of the KPA General Staff, and other KPA commanding officers and cadres of the WPK Central Committee.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was greeted on the spot by the commanding officers of KPA units involved in the construction project.

The officers and men, involved in the construction of regional-industry factories in the province, are pushing ahead with the construction project at the final stage after setting it as a primary requirement to ensure quality in construction, true to the important task Kim Jong Un advanced while giving field guidance at regional-industry factories under construction in different areas.

Going round the construction sites, Kim Jong Un learned in detail about the construction work.

Expressing great satisfaction over the fact that soldier-builders have ensured high quality in construction as required by modernization and standardization, he noted with high appreciation that they did construction well. Fully reflected in each building are our army's spirit and stand of devotedly implementing the Party's policies, and this is patriotism, loyalty to the Party and the revolution and love for hometown, he added.

To establish a correct ideological viewpoint is important in construction, too, and there is nothing impossible to do when people are stimulated ideologically, he said, noting that the service personnel have grown up, through construction process, to be pioneers of the times and masters of creation who know the true meaning of patriotism and uphold the country and people with pure conscience and practice. This is a precious success that can not be compared with anything, he added.

Saying it is hard to find here such defects revealed in the construction of regional-industry factories in some cities and counties, he noted that they have made fresh progress in improving quality by actively applying the excellent Korean-style building methods created in practice. He added that the construction regiments dispatched to cities and counties should learn from the experience gained in the construction of regional-industry factories in the province.

He said it is worthy of appraisement that the People's Army has strengthened the force of commanding officers of construction units at all levels, promptly solved the problems arising in the construction and powerfully pushed ahead with the construction project, mindful of the noble intention of the Party Central Committee which set forth the construction of regional-industry factories as an important task for hastening the regional development.

A new change is now being made in the view of officials and builders on construction and the traits of giving priority to quality are prevailing over the whole area of construction, he noted, saying it is an affirmative trend guaranteeing the development of our architecture.

As is always emphasized, architectural structures reflect our ideology, policy and aesthetic view and the indications of the times and, accordingly, architecture is an extension and an epitome of politics, he said, adding that even if a structure is erected, it should be built wonderfully and perfectly as a symbol of the era, in no way inferior to the younger generation, shouldering upon the honor of our times and our generation.

He taught in detail such important and principled orientations and ways for expanding the regional construction as the issue of designing advanced public health facilities, facilities for science, education, life and cultural amenities and grain management facilities in a rational and practical way suited to the use of relevant buildings, the issue of thoroughly ensuring the practical utility and modernity in design of industrial buildings and the issue of building up the force of skilled workers.

He expressed belief that the soldier-builders dispatched to the province would as ever uphold the implementation of the Party's Regional Development 20×10 Policy with signal successes in construction and play the role of pacesetters in the vanguard of the 10-year revolution for the regional development.

The officers and men of the unit were filled with steadfast determination to contribute to the prosperity of our great state and the promotion of the people's well-being by pushing on the gigantic creation campaign for bringing about a epochal change of regions, cherishing the great trust and expectation of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un as their lifeblood. -0-
