Kim Jong Il gives field guidance to power station construction

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 20 (KCNA) - General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the construction of the Orangchon Power Station in North Hamgyong Province. He was accompanied by chief of the KPA general staff Kim Yong Chun, first vice department directors of the WPK Central Committee Ri Yong Chol and Choe Chun Hwang and members of the operation command group of the KPA Supreme Command.
    He learned in detail about the progress made in the construction. The station is located in a good place and designed well to fully implement the principle of profitability, he said, greatly satisfied to see the country's one more edifice of eternal value under construction.
    Greatly pleased to learn that the builders including the members of the young volunteer groups have done a great deal of work in a short span of time, he highly praised their devoted efforts and extended warm thanks to all the builders for sweating a lot with loyalty to build a great prosperous powerful nation.
    It is a spectacular success that party members and other working people in North Hamgyong Province have built by themselves many modern power stations and edifices in the Songun era in different places despite difficulties under the motto "as the party decides, so we do", he noted, adding with pride that such precious result is a striking demonstration of the great spiritual power that can be displayed only by the Korean people single-heartedly united around the party.
    He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in completing the construction of the power station earlier than scheduled. Saying that building hydro-power stations is beneficial from the economic point of view and provides the shortest cut to fully meeting the ever-growing demands for electricity under the natural and geographical conditions of the country which abounds in rivers and streams, he underscored the need to steadily implement to the letter the party's policy on building minor power stations on a large-scale along with large hydro-power stations.
    He called on all the builders including the members of the young volunteer groups to complete the construction of the power station as early as possible with redoubled courage by displaying the revolutionary soldier spirit and the revolutionary spirit of fortitude and thus demonstrate the heroic stamina of the Korean youth.
