Party and government.

Expressing his surging emotion of facing a moment that signals the second
inauguration season for implementing the regional development policy and
seeing the first entity of modern regional hospitals, he said that proclaiming
inauguration in the year of groundbreaking is the standard speed of achieving
our ideals and this will be sufficient to show the acceleration of the substantial
rejuvenation of the whole country. And this is the speed of transformation and
advance–the speed of Korea, he added.
This hospital has helped completely reversing the existing conception of a
regional hospital; the course of its construction was exemplary and its
operation will serve as an ideal model for the development of public health in
the regions, he said, hoping that the medical workers, who will work at this
wonderful hospital and are more excited than anybody else, will always
approach patients with heartfelt sincerity, tender care and warm affection and
protect their health with high skills.
Declaring that it is our Party’s determination to take revolutionary steps and
advance more vigorously towards our-style modernization of public health to
bring benefit to the people, he stressed that modernization of public health will
guarantee the long-term development of the country and assure our socialist
state of a bright future.
He ardently called for working harder with ardent passion and soaring spirit
befitting the pioneers of a great revolution for the good of our motherland and
people, for the day when the regions have transformed themselves and we
prosper while leading a cultured life and for the beautiful future when peace,

The participants responded with enthusiastic cheers to the passionate speech
made by Kim Jong Un that gives a vivid picture of the future changes to be
made in the life of the people across the country as soon as possible along

with the realization of the long-cherished desire of the WPK which regards the

Kim Jong Un cut the inauguration tape.
Confetti was thrown and a large number of balloons rose up over the venue of
the inauguration ceremony to be specially recorded in the nation-building
history in the new era.
Warmly acknowledging the cheers of the participants,
Kim Jong Un wished the people in Kangdong County great joy and

Kim Jong Un, looking up with deep emotion to the benevolent father of the
large socialist family, who is devoting himself to translating into reality the
ideal life in which the whole country grows prosperous and everyone enjoys
happiness and comfort and making the contemporaries lead the life.

He said that the hospital is a new sphere of regional rejuvenation developed
by the WPK, a valuable result of making a breakthrough in accomplishing the
historic cause of rebuilding the public health infrastructure on an advanced
basis and a nation-wide scale and an epochal entity which newly formulated
the concept of regional hospital in the true sense of the word.
For the WPK intended to guarantee the people's rights and interests and
promote their health and build a more brilliant and affluent future, there is no
more worthwhile and honorable revolutionary work than the struggle to build
faster many more creations of new civilization warmly welcomed by the
people so that they can see with their own eyes, get substantial benefits and
feel happy about it, he added.
Saying that we must neither slow down nor come to a standstill in our struggle
to comprehensively and scrupulously create a development environment for
advanced civilization in all regions of the country, he stressed the need to
expand the construction of regional public health on a full scale from the
coming year on the basis of reviewing the experience gained in this year's
construction of model hospitals of different categories.

Going round the hospital, the participants in the ceremony were struck with
admiration at the civilized treatment environment and conditions of the
hospital fully equipped with every condition for enabling inhabitants to fully
enjoy an advanced medical service in their region like those in Pyongyang.
The inauguration of the Kangdong County Hospital serves as a significant and
auspicious event of convincing the people of a new life and well-being to be
come true in all parts of the country and an occasion of leap and progress of
great practical significance in further expanding and implementing the WPK's

Speech of Respected Comrade Kim Jong
Un at Inauguration Ceremony of Hoeyang

Army-People Power Station

Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) — The respected Comrade Kim Jong
Un made a speech at the inauguration ceremony of the Hoeyang Army-
People Power Station.
The full text of his speech is as follows:
Citizens of Hoeyang County and other people of Kangwon Province, who
have come here with the most honourable and dignified memory of the quite
arduous days,
Officials of the provincial Party committee and other Party organizations and
government organs of the province,
Comrades,
In the period when the whole country is filled with enthusiasm to substantially
wind up the year 2025 that must be recorded in history without fail as a year
of victory, it is very auspicious that the Hoeyang Army-People Power Station,
another creation by the people of Kangwon Province, is to be inaugurated.
This is a precious success the province has achieved after taking a huge step
in exploiting and enlisting the hydraulic resources as suited to its
characteristics to solve its electricity problem, and at the same time
meaningful fruition that demonstrates the self-reliant willpower and

inexhaustible strength of its people who advance unyieldingly towards
ambitious goals.
Today, seeing a transformation in the new era, which has been effected in
another part of the country, and feeling personally the patriotic and loyal mind
of the people of Kangwon Province, I cannot suppress the surging emotion.
Imprinted under the soaring dam and those mountains and their ridges are the
traces of persevering efforts, and shining under them like gems are the pure
patriotic minds. To think of it, I cannot look at them casually.
It is an appraisal the Party makes for the course of struggle of the people of
Kangwon Province, who, after building the Anbyon Youth Power Station No. 2,
Wonsan Youth Power Station and Wonsan Army-People Power Station,
turned out to build another six power stations and, bravely overcoming
manifold difficulties, have successively built them in Ichon, Munchon, Sepho,
Phyonggang and Kosong and now in Hoeyang.
They are patriots, who have written our era in a chapter of history by building
power stations. Those power stations, which have sprung up in different parts
of the province that truthfully tells the history of the struggle of the army and
the people to defend the country together, are fortresses of faith in socialism
built by the concerted efforts of the soldiers and civilians to make firmer and
more beautiful this precious land defended at the cost of blood.
Among the many projects aimed at achieving the prosperity and development
of the country, building a power station for harnessing and transforming
nature, to be frank, is a patriotic, long-term undertaking for posterity.
Looking back on the history of building our state from one century into the
next, the projects to create material wealth by harnessing nature have been
severest and most gigantic; and their spectacular results are still handed
down as a symbol of the patriotic spirit and fighting power of those days and
as a byword of miraculous feats.
What is really remarkable is that Kangwon Province, which has a smaller
population and weaker industrial foundations than other provinces, has built
by its own efforts these power stations that demanded a glorious and sacred
but so arduous and difficult struggle.

In this province there would probably be no one who has not experienced the
rage of nature in the construction sites of the power stations and no family
that is not related with those days, I think.
The power stations tell the love of the local people for the country and native
land and the history of the strenuous efforts they have written with their blood
and sweat. They are patriotic monuments to the ennobling devotion made by
the people in our era for the future, not merely for supplying power for
civilization and prosperity.
For the future, for the coming generations–this is the inscription to be carved
in the power stations in Kangwon Province by the times and history.
The honour to engrave the letters–gift to be presented to the Party
Congress–on their creations is the right granted only to the true patriots who
made a courageous start with patriotism and have reached a brilliant fruition
through their vigorous struggle.
This is something that is above price and that can never be bartered for
anything else.
I highly appreciate the pioneering spirit of the people of Kangwon Province,
who courageously buckle down to the grand nature-harnessing projects no
one dares to do so easily, but what I want to speak more highly of is their
persevering character and disposition with which they follow stoutly and
without hesitation a road, however thorny, and reach its end without fail.
Availing myself of this significant opportunity, I, on behalf of the Party Central
Committee, extend warm thanks to the people of Kangwon Province and the
service personnel of the Korean People’s Army for presenting to the Ninth
Congress of our Party a valuable asset, which will bring benefits to the coming
generations as well, by building solid power production bases, self-reliant and
self-supporting, through a resolute and uninterrupted struggle with ennobling
consciousness and steadfast will to defend the country, their motherland.
Comrades,
When the comprehensive development of our socialist state is being
accelerated and the regional development policy is being powerfully promoted
throughout the country, Kangwon Province is steadily building up its potential
power for achieving prosperity by self-reliance. This is a great encouragement
for us in the struggle towards the next-stage advance and upswing.

Increased and strengthened rapidly along with the construction of the power
stations is the province’s force in terms of ideology, spirit, materials and
technology. This provides the province with practical possibilities for
conceiving higher development goals and pushing ahead with the projects in
a bold way. In addition, it will play an important role in constantly expanding
the sphere of development of the region.
All the officials and other Party members and working people of the province,
To regard experiencing troubles in our generation as good fortune and to lay
bases of ever-lasting development and prosperity through strenuous and
devoted efforts of our own–this is the worth of our struggle and our delight of
making a revolution.
You have shown this not in words, written or spoken, but through a practical
struggle.
Let us add more vigour to our sacred patriotic advance and usher in a golden
age of transformation.
The spirit of creating a history of transformation by braving challenges and the
disposition and mettle of doing without fail what is determined to do–this will
inspire Kangwon Province more powerfully to lead the gigantic regional
transformation.
I once again extend my warm greetings of encouragement to the conquerors
of nature, artists of miracles in our era.
And I wish Kangwon Province a new appearance, which will be transformed
and prosper as the days go by, and its people a happier life.
Long live the great spirit of Kangwon Province! -0-

Speech of Respected Comrade Kim Jong
Un at Inauguration Ceremony of Kangdong

County Hospital

Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) — The respected Comrade Kim Jong
Un delivered a speech at the inauguration ceremony of the Kangdong County
Hospital.
The full text of his speech is as follows:
Comrades,
Just at this place over 280 days ago, we planned together the future of the
revolution in public health.
It seems as if it were yesterday when we held the groundbreaking ceremony,
but now we are holding the inauguration ceremony.
This is a moment that signals the second inauguration season for
implementing the regional development policy, as well as a moment when we
are seeing the first entity of modern regional hospitals.
A transformation worthy of proudly representing our eye-opening era has
been brought about quickly enough to strike us with wonder.
Proclaiming inauguration in the year of groundbreaking is the standard speed
of achieving our ideals, and this will be sufficient to show the acceleration of
the substantial rejuvenation of the whole country, I think.
This is just our mettle and the speed of transformation and advance which we
are going to achieve amid an uninterrupted surge–the speed of Korea.

The precedent for building in such a short period a healthcare facility, whose
architectural processes are complicated, cannot be found in our proud history
of construction.
Today’s inauguration ceremony testifies that not only things are changing and
developing but also our ambitions will be realized earlier than we desired and
imagined.
This year is the one of transformations worthy of note in the development
history of Kangdong County.
Modern regional-industry factories have been built, and a leisure complex and
its neighbour, a perfect county hospital, have sprung up.
Comrades,
Our struggle, aimed at bringing a beautiful and vibrant life to the regional
people, has now entered a comprehensive and full-scale stage.
I am sure that the rapid steps we are taking from transformation to greater
transformation will inevitably lead us to our far-reaching ideals of making the
whole country change and prosper.
Our strong will and self-confidence and our abilities and practice will prove
this.
Officers and soldiers of the Guards Hero construction unit, whom I am always
proud of,
I extend my heartfelt thanks to your heroic creative mettle and unsparing
devotion, with which you, as the banner of transformation for the wellbeing of
the people, have ensured that our Party’s sincerity could reach the beloved
people of Kangdong County to the full.
I also offer my greetings to the officials and working people of the relevant
sectors, who have contributed to ensuring today’s inauguration through their
responsible efforts and sincere involvement.
Comrades,
I am very happy that another perfect hospital has been built. What makes me
more pleased and gratified is the fact that it will contribute to ensuring good
health and a cultured life for the regional people.

This hospital has helped completely reversing the existing conception of a
regional hospital; the course of its construction was exemplary and its
operation will serve as an ideal model for the development of public health in
the regions.
I believe that the medical workers, who will work at this wonderful hospital, are
more excited than anybody else. I hope that they will always approach
patients with heartfelt sincerity, tender care and warm affection and protect
their health with high skills.
I will entrust the health of the precious people in the county, as well as this
hospital, to the medical workers here.
The last month of the year 2025 will begin in ten days.
This ceremony will be followed by the inauguration of Kusong City Hospital,
Ryonggang County Hospital and first-aid posts in the Wonsan Kalma Coastal
Tourist Area. Then we will have six modern medical facilities in all this year,
including Pyongyang General Hospital. We can proudly say that this is a real
transformation.
With these valuable results of the public health revolution, which embody the
true objective of our struggle and bring us closest to it, we can confidently call
2025 a year of amazing transformation.
Comrades,
These first-stage results are really wonderful, but there can be no satisfaction
in our work to promote the people’s health.
This hospital has encouraged us to conceive many plans and set ourselves
more ambitious goals.
It is our Party’s determination to take revolutionary steps and advance more
vigorously towards our-style modernization of public health to bring benefit to
all the people in this country.
Modernization of public health will guarantee the long-term development of
the country, and it will assure our socialist state of a bright future.
Let us take another step with ardent passion and soaring spirit befitting the
pioneers of a great revolution for the good of our motherland and people.

The day will surely come when the regions have transformed themselves and
we prosper while leading a cultured life.
Let us work harder for the beautiful future, when peace, laughter, happiness
and amicability will brim over in all parts of our country.
My beloved citizens of Kangdong County!
I wish all of you good health and a happy life. -0-
