KCNA
Pyongyang, December 19 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, gave field guidance to the construction of power stations in North Phyongan Province.
He first visited the Kochigang Revolutionary Site in Hakdang-ri, Thaechon County.
The revolutionary site is the historical place which was visited by President Kim Il Sung on August 31, 1958, the day after he attended a ceremony for the completion of the Suphung Power Station, and where he gave a detailed instruction for rapidly improving the standard of the people's living in the county and he gave field guidance several times in the subsequent period.
After hearing an explanation about the historical site of the revolution, he looked round relics preserved to their original state and the room devoted to the revolutionary history.
The next leg of his visit was the newly-built Unhung Youth Power Station.
Seeing the exterior and interior of the station, he learned in detail about its construction and the electricity production there.
He was greatly satisfied to see the power station built in such a way as to ensure profitability and to be of eternal value.
Then he moved on to the construction site of Thaechon Power Station No. 4.
Noting that the completion of the power station would mean the successful implementation of the instruction given by Kim Il Sung to build a large hydro-power generating base in Thaechon district, he called for completing the construction ahead of the schedule.
He was received on the spot by Kim Phyong Hae, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, and senior officials of the province, the county and enterprises.
