Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance over
Construction of Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area

Pyongyang, July 18 (KCNA) -- The leadership of the great father, who has
always worked heart and soul to provide our people with the most civilized
and happy life, gave birth to another story of love in the Wonsan Kalma area
turning into a beautiful cultural tourist resort for the people.

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,
gave field guidance over the construction of the Wonsan Kalma coastal
tourist area on July 16.
Accompanying him were Kim Tok Hun, member of the Presidium of the
Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK and premier of the Cabinet, and Jo Yong
Won, Ri Il Hwan, Kim Jae Ryong, Pak Thae Song and other secretaries of
the C.C., WPK, Pak Jong Gun, vice-premier of the Cabinet and chairman of
the State Planning Commission, major commanding officers of the armed
forces organs, officials concerned of the C.C., WPK, Kangwon Province and
the design sector.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un personally initiated the construction
of a unique and modern coastal tourist city of Korean style, of which we can
be proud in the eyes of the world, and visited the construction site several
times to indicate the orientation and ways for the successful development
project and has guided the whole course of construction step by step. Thanks
to his ceaseless devotion and wise leadership, a magnificent and grand
panorama is taking on its shape as a paradise of people in Myongsasipri, a
scenic spot in the East Sea of Korea.

All the builders have turned out in high spirits with a firm determination to
successfully complete the construction of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist
area and fully demonstrate the validity of the people-first politics of the
WPK. They perform fresh miracles and feats every day, true to Kim Jong
Un's noble intention to make devoted service for the well-being of the
people, thus carrying out the construction goal set forth by the Party Central
Committee without fail.
Feasting his eyes on the panoramic view of the vast tourist area stretched
along the coastline, Kim Jong Un, with a broad smile on his face, said that
it's really beautiful and spectacular and the peculiar sight of the picturesque
coastal scenic spot refreshed him, repeatedly expressing great satisfaction at

the fact that it has taken on its impeccable appearance as a world-level
coastal tourist city as planned.

He highly praised the builders for bringing about collective innovations in
ensuring both the speed and quality of construction, true to the Party Central
Committee's plan to build the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area as a
monumental edifice of eternal value for the people.
He stressed the need to further expand the successes in the construction, not
slackening the spirit, as the project has entered the final stage, calling on the
commanding officers to put higher demands, the builders to display
redoubled efforts and the construction inspection organs to enhance their
responsibility and role to the maximum.
He convened a consultative meeting with officials accompanying him on the
spot to discuss the practical matters for making full preparations for the
operation of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area according to a well
thought-out plan as the 19th Enlarged Meeting of the Political Bureau of the
Eighth Central Committee of the WPK decided to open the coastal tourist
area by next May.
Stressing the importance of making good preparations for the operation of
the tourist area, he said it is important to build a fine resort but it is also a
key issue to ensure perfect service and operation appropriate to its class.
However fashionable its facilities are, it will depreciate in its value as a
tourist area if the level of the service and operation is low, he added.
Noting that the capacity of the service and operation and its feasibility
should be scientifically examined to properly select service units, he called
for making preparations for operation on a full scale from now on. And he
specified the orientation for doing so and took a series of important
measures.
The meeting discussed all the issues arising in the preparations for ensuring
smooth operation of the tourist area, including the issue of ensuring the
parking space suitable for the capacity of the tourist area, building an
amusement park and a leisure activity area, ensuring the capacity for
garbage and sewage treatment and training experts for all services.
Wonsan is a coastal city of natural and geographical beauty, and, in
particular, Myongsasipri of the Kalma peninsula has long been known as one
of the most famous scenic spots, he said, adding that a coastal wonderland to
be known to the world as the best tourist resort of the DPRK would be

successfully built as its national treasure to surely win Myongsasipri the
fame as a pride of Wonsan and the best tourist attraction in the near future.
Stressing the need to boost tourism in a long-term manner on the basis of the
experience gained in the construction of the coastal tourist area, he said that
as our country is surrounded by the sea on its eastern and western sides and
has lots of scenic spots on its eastern coast, including Mt Kumgang, Mt
Chilbo, Majon, Kumya, Riwon and Yombunjin, it is needed to steadily
implement the policy of concentrating on making rational use of the
abundant coastal resources of tourism. And he called for taking long-term
steps to exploit the resources of sports-based, leisure-oriented, sightseeing
coastal tourism as the resources of coastal tourism in a unique manner.
After receiving the important instructions of Kim Jong Un that clearly
indicated the path for new development of national tourism and advanced
the precious guidelines and ways for achieving comprehensive rejuvenation
of Korean-style socialism and providing the people with a happier life, all
the officials deeply realized once again the faith that the plan and
determination of the WPK Central Committee are an immutable science and
truth, and made a firm pledge to fulfil their responsibility and duty in the
important and worthwhile struggle for creating better civilization of the
Korean people, true to his leadership. -0-
