Completed Ragwon County Offshore Farm
and Fishing-Village Residential District
Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) — Thanks to the far-reaching plan of the
Central Committee of the great Workers' Party of Korea for regional
development and its energetic leadership, a modern offshore farm and a
modern fishing-village residential district have been built in Ragwon County
on the east coast as another monumental edifice in the vibrant era of the most
gigantic regional transformation in the history of the country.
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 completed Ragwon County Offshore Farm and the modern fishing-
village residential district on August 26.
He was accompanied by Jo Yong Won, secretary of the C.C., the WPK, Kim
Jae Ryong and Kim Yong Su, department directors of the C.C., the WPK, and
Pak Song Chol and Kim Yo Jong, vice department directors of the C.C., the
WPK.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was greeted on the spot by
commanding officers of the unit involved in the construction.
The building of the Ragwon County Offshore Farm is this year's major project
for the regional construction policy which was pushed forward with by the
decision of the 11th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the
WPK according to the far-reaching plan of Kim Jong Un for promoting the
independent development of regional economy and improving the material life
of regional people at the earliest possible date by effectively exploiting and
utilizing the natural and geographical potential and resources in cities and
counties on the coast which make up nearly one-third of the country.
Thanks to the spirit of devotedly implementing the Party's policies and great
power of execution of the soldier-builders regarding the call of the Party as a
battle order, modern and advanced production facilities of the farm, low- and
single-storied houses of various styles and neighborhood-serving amenities
have been built in good harmony with the surrounding natural landscape and
along with the meaningful name of "Ragwonpho" in more than 190 days after
starting the project.

Kim Jong Un went round the Ragwon County Offshore Farm.
Enjoying the picturesque panorama of Ragwonpho,
Kim Jong Un said with pleasure that the groundbreaking ceremony was
held at the sandy beach early this year and that the place turned already into
a picturesque scene. And he added that the undertaking which had been
planned since last year in order to build a fishing base which is more
characteristic than the Sinpho City Offshore Farm was successfully
completed, making it possible to present the fishing village in the most
beautiful port to the people of Ragwon County.
He expressed satisfaction over the fact that a wonderful offshore farm and
fishing village were built in Ragwon County, which is one of the tiny counties
in the country and had a weak economic foundation, adding that the county
turned into the one with bright prospect of development in the future and it
goes well with the name "Ragwon" (paradise) both in name and reality.
He said that the amazing speed of creation at which the most backward
county of the country has developed into the one with a strong economic
foundation in a little over half a year would be specially recorded in the history
of the regional-industry revolution in the new era and the growth and
development of the DPRK and if such a remarkable speed of advance
continues, our state would soon greet a great change in the whole country
and it would serve as a powerful driving force for hastening the complete
victory of socialism.
Going round the combined control room, raw material preprocessing plant and
other production facilities, he learned about the completion of the loading test
and technical interlocking test of the equipment.
He went round the fishing-village residential district.
Visiting different types of single- and low-storied houses, he referred to the
measures taken by the Party to design the houses in unique way to be in
good harmony with the natural environment of the shore. He repeatedly
expressed his pleasure over the fact that every house in the fishing-village
residential district was perfectly built, saying that construction was carried out
in a very qualitative way to meet the design and technical requirements.
Appreciating that all the buildings erected in Ragwonpho are the outcome of
the high ideological readiness and redoubled efforts of the Korean People's

Army upholding the policy of the Party on regional development with absolute
loyalty and devoted struggle, he said that we should never be satisfied in the
work for the people and that even though the production buildings and
dwelling houses built here are excellent, wonderful monumental entities that
surpass them should be constructed in future.
He set forth the important tasks to be carried out in steadily pushing ahead
with the construction of regional-industry factories and rural dwelling houses
on a high level.
Referring to the long-term goals of the policy of the WPK on regional
development again, he said that the epochal tasks of regional rejuvenation to
be welcomed by the people will be successfully fulfilled only when all the
regional builders make redoubled efforts with the ambition and courage to
learn from and overtake the architectural culture and new civilization of the
capital which have been put on a spectacular level through the construction of
modern 50 000 flats.
He stressed that it is necessary to regard the demand and interests of the
people as absolute standard and make sincere efforts in setting a site and
erecting a building in the future, too, just like we built a seafood production
base for the county residents in the best place of Ragwon County.
Enjoying a bird's-eye view of Ragwonpho together with officials, he discussed
a new long-term plan for cultivating the economic potential of the county.
Saying that he would like to see the cheerful faces of the people in the county
as soon as possible and the evaluation of the plan would be made by the
residents, he gave an instruction to hold the inauguration ceremony of the
Ragwon County Offshore Farm in a meaningful way in the near future. -0-
