Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives
Field Guidance over Construction Site of

Kusong City Hospital

Pyongyang, June 10 (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, gave field guidance over the construction site of
Kusong City Hospital on June 9.
He was accompanied by Jo Yong Won and Ri Hi Yong, secretaries of the
Central Committee of the WPK, and Kim Jae Ryong and Kim Yong Su,
department directors of the Central Committee of the WPK.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was greeted on the spot by officials
of construction unit and design institutions.
Making rounds of the construction site, he learned in detail about the progress
made in the construction.
Kusong City Hospital is one of the hospitals under construction in different
scales on a demonstration basis in three cities and counties in 2025,
according to the decision of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth
Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
Kim Jong Un said that at present the construction sector, the major sphere
of our struggle and the main front symbolizing the steady advance and
development of our state, is continuously expanding and developing, and the
fulfillment of the huge construction plan designed by our Party requires the
rapid and qualitative strengthening of the workforce indispensably.
Construction which proves with clear entity the leap forward civilization and
prosperity we are idealizing is thoroughly conducted by the workforce, the
mainstay of the gigantic creative struggle, he said, adding that it is our Party's
view that the preparation of the workforce means a sure guarantee for the
construction revolution in the new era.
Saying that the historic task of rapidly establishing a system for expanding
and strengthening the workforce by the state in a qualitative way should be
solved in a right way, he underscored its importance repeatedly.
Strengthening the workforce is not an immediate short-term issue but a
strategic task in the ten-year construction struggle for regional rejuvenation,

he noted. He pointed out that although many workforce of the People's Army
are now being dispatched to the huge construction areas unfolded by our
Party and their revolutionary enthusiasm is growing day by day, the efficiency
of using the workforce is not ensured at the up-to-the-standard level due to
the non-specialization and inexperience in the organization and command of
construction.
In order to make a vigorous advance of gigantic grand construction which our
Party and state are directing much efforts, a rapid state measure should be
taken for qualitative strengthening of the workforce with the main emphasis on
training skilled workers, he said, adding that an intensive short course will be
organized for the present to improve the practical abilities of officials in the
construction sector at all levels for it.
Kim Jong Un said that the intensive short course of officials at all levels in
the construction sector to be held after the Twelfth Plenary Meeting of the
Eighth Central Committee of the Party should deal with the urgent problems
arising in carrying out the construction revolution, including the establishment
of a well-regulated system of training skilled workers.
He said that the gigantic struggle for the implementation of our Party's
regional development policy should be a revolution to fundamentally and
ultimately put an end to the centuries-old backwardness and laggardness of
the regional areas and, at the same time, a process of transforming the old
customs, outdated culture and obsolete technology that remain in the
construction sector to suit the new era and a historic process of training all the
builders to be creators of new culture and new civilization and genuine
socialist builders.
We have a guards hero unit, that is a unit of competent construction
educators with excellent construction potentiality, and if all the experience and
models created by them in construction are positively applied to the
construction enterprises at all levels and military construction groups,
remarkable progress will be made in carrying out our Party's construction
policy, he said, adding that this problem also can be solved through the
practical short course.
Saying that it is a key issue to train the reliable technical forces necessary for
the assembly of equipment as the hospital is a functional building which
should be technically compatible with the termination of the substructure,

medical equipment and appliances and all other things, unlike dwelling
houses and industrial buildings, Kim Jong Un set forth a series of important
tasks, which should be carried out in the construction field without a moment's
delay, including the issue of examining the establishment of an enterprise
specializing in the assembling of medical equipment and the issue of further
increasing the proportion of construction work done by machines and steadily
improving the level of modernization of equipment. -0-
