Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects
Regional-industry Factories Nearing

Inauguration

Pyongyang, December 5 (KCNA) — This year has witnessed the proud and
epochal achievements in the regional construction, which made another leap
forward in ensuring modernity, economic profitability and prospect with a goal
of reaching a level set higher than last year, according to the far-reaching
regional development strategy of the great Workers' Party of Korea.
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,
inspected regional-industry factories in several counties nearing inauguration
on December 3.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Jo Yong Won
and Pak Jong Chon, secretaries of the WPK Central Committee.
First, he went round the regional-industry factories in Sinyang County, South
Phyongan Province.
He was greeted on the spots by the commanding officers of the army units
involved in the construction, officials of design institutes, senior officials of the
Party and power organs in Sinyang County and officials of the regional-
industry factories.
He went round the production, cultural and welfare facilities of the foodstuff
factory, garment factory and daily necessities factory in the county one by one
to learn in detail about their construction and preparations for operation.
Saying that he could see the level of construction and technical equipment of
the construction units has remarkably improved as compared with last year,
he expressed satisfaction over the fact that lopsidedness has been definitely
decreased and the level of balance and specialization increased in the whole
construction process.
Noting that the evaluation of the quality of construction depends on the final
construction, he indicated the orientation and ways for the construction units
at all levels to radically raise the level of specialization and delicacy in the final
construction.

He said that there might be difficulties as healthcare facilities, leisure
complexes and others are expected to be added to regional construction
projects from the coming year but the People's Army has tremendous
potentiality for creditably guaranteeing the implementation of the Party's policy
on regional development and will powerfully lead the regional construction
revolution to a steady victory with its rich experience and heated enthusiasm
for struggle.
Saying that modern regional-industry factories have been built in 40 cities and
counties in less than two years since the regional-industry revolution started,
he noted this represents the eye-opening regional changes. The rural
construction and regional-industry construction are a gigantic revolution
intended to fundamentally improve the quality of the people's living and lay the
material and technical foundations for the independent development of the
cities and counties, he said, underlining that we are right now passing through
the most responsible and important historic period of transition.
He pointed out some deviations revealed in the construction of regional-
industry factories and set forth some important tasks for operating the
factories, normalizing their production and accommodating the inhabitants.
He inspected regional-industry factories in Pukchang County, South
Phyongan Province.

Referring to the inconsistency in architectural and process designs in the
construction of a foodstuff factory, he said that the irrational changes were
made in contrast to the original design leading to the re-construction, which
was attributable to the lack of proper guidance system and functional system
to rectify such deviations in time.
In order to ensure high quality in construction as required by the drive for
modernization and standardization and perfectly build factories as entities
immediately demonstrating our style of civilization and development, it is
necessary to establish a more thorough system of tripartite consultation
between design, construction and management units, put construction on a
scientific and integrated basis and steadily increase the proportion of dry
construction in the building of industrial facilities and encourage it, he said.
Noting that the regular production and supply of various consumer goods
basic and essential for the people's livelihood is the most important task in

carrying out the Party's policy on regional industry, he put particular emphasis
on the need to increase the number of varieties of specialties preserving the
characters of regional areas and improve the quality of daily necessities.
He said that it is important for the whole Party and the state to pay attention to
the development of regional economy, organize regional products shows
every year and conduct significant reviews and appraisals of them so that
regional-industry factories develop through competition.
Saying that the People's Army was assigned the historic task of regional
changes and this is an expression of the noblest trust of the Party, the
revolution, the era and the people in it, he expressed expectation and belief
that the officers and men of the construction units would continue to give full
play to the fighting spirit and creative mettle peculiar to the revolutionary army
in the vanguard of the cause of realizing the long-cherished desire of the WPK
and the wishes of the regional people.
He visited the Unsan Paper Factory newly built in Unsan County, South
Phyongan Province.

He was greeted by Ri Kyong Chol, chief secretary of the South Phyongan
Provincial Committee of the WPK, and officials concerned and officials of the
factory.
Saying that the paper factory has been built first in Unsan County of South
Phyongan Province on a trial basis according to the Party's decision on
setting up the modern paper factory in all provinces capable of satisfying their
own demands, he stressed that the factory is of great significance in
developing the Korean-style paper-making industry and satisfying the long-
term nation-wide demands.
Looking at the multipurpose paper machine, the toilet-paper machine, the one
for moulding paper into paper containers and others, all of which are
associated with the pioneering spirit and creation enthusiasm of the scientists,
technicians and workers, he said that it is really laudable that several
enterprises of South Phyongan Province and the Paper Engineering Institute
of the State Academy of Sciences are taking the lead in solving one of the
problems which greatly concern the Party. He noted that he is pleased that
the said institute has a clear prospective goal for developing our own paper-

making method and technology. He extended praise and encouragement to
the scientists and technicians at the institute.
In order to meet the demand for paper badly needed for all the fields,
including science, technology, education and cultural life, it is necessary to
steadily develop our own paper-making method and technology based on the
raw materials in the country, he said, adding that all other provinces should
more thoroughly discuss and decide on the issue of building modern paper
factories within the period of next five-year plan on the basis of the experience
gained by South Phyongan Province in building a model factory.
The inauguration season has come to review the results of the proud one-
year creation and labour campaign which will be estimated by the people, he
noted, stressing that all the new regional-industry factories should make
perfect preparations for their operation before their inauguration ceremonies
which are due to be held in December. And he gave some instructions to
promote the regional development policy. -0-
