Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects
Newly-inaugurated Combined Missile
Production Line of Major Munitions

Enterprise

Pyongyang, September 1 (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, went round the newly-inaugurated combined
missile production line of a major munitions enterprise to learn about the
overall condition of the state missile production capacity and its prospect on
August 31.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Jo Chun
Ryong, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, Kim Jong Sik, first
vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK, Jang Chang
Ha, general director of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, managers of
major missile production enterprises and members of the non-permanent
committee for modernizing the defence industry.
Kim Jong Un appreciated that the plan for expanding the missile production
capacity ordered by the Eighth Congress of the WPK to meet the long-term
demands for the operation of the state missile forces has been successfully
fulfilled by this year, the last year of the Five-Year Plan, and various kinds of
missiles were put into serial production, saying that this result would be the
most important core and strategic success achieved by the munitions industry
field in carrying out the plan for developing the defence capability during the
period under review.
Kim Jong Un learned in detail about the newly designed automated
assembly-line missile production system.
He was greatly satisfied to hear the report that the automated assembly-line
production system was established with the process of preparing materials,
the process of manufacturing all components of the airframe and the
equipment specialized in precision processing, measuring and assembling
different parts, thus increasing the productivity and ensuring qualitative
character of the products in a scientific and technical way.
He noted that the state missile production capacity has rapidly been increased
and a sure guarantee has been provided for raising the fixed quantity for

major missile units according to plan as a result of the establishment of the
modern production line capable of meeting the long-term demand of the
development-oriented missile forces of our army. He said that the eye-
opening change has been made in the struggle for implementing the Party's
core defence building policy on strengthening the missile forces, adding that
this is a clear fruition of the remarkably increased spiritual strength, wisdom
and enthusiasm of our research group and workers in the field of defence
science.
He stressed that the missile production sector should be fully prepared to
unconditionally accept and fully implement the new long-term production
goals set forth by the Ninth Congress of the Party.
That day, he ratified three new long-term plans related to missile production
capacity and the draft for defence expenditure on the plans.
The senior officials of the Missile Administration and major missile production
enterprises pledged to uphold our Party's cause of building a powerful army
by producing many more powerful war deterrents. -0-
