Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, gave on-the-spot guidance to the Tanchon Fireproof Materials Factory. The first leg of his guidance was the electric fusing shop.
He was greatly pleased to learn that the workers of the factory have built a modern and efficient process for the production of magnesia clinker of high degree of purity in a short span of time by actively introducing the latest science and technology. He highly praised them for their achievements.
The experience of the factory proved the principle of the IT age that science and technology precisely mean production and vice versa, he said, adding that only when science and technology are closely blended with production in the country can they serve as a powerful engine of revolution and construction and provide a scientific and technological guarantee for the building of a great prosperous powerful nation. He stressed the need to make an effective use of magnesite found in abundance in the country and increase the production of high quality clinker in order to meet the daily growing demand for fireproof materials.
In order to raise the quality of clinker it is necessary to ensure the supply of magnesite of rich content and steadily raise the technical knowledge and skills of the producers so as to fully meet the technical requirements in all production processes, he noted. Underscoring the need to wage a widespread technical innovation movement such as cutting down the calcinating time to systematically reduce the consumption norms per unit of fireproof materials output and increase varieties of the fireproof materials including high quality fire-brick, he called for intensifying scientific researches in the field and pushing forward the work to create additional capacity under a long-term plan in order to rapidly boost the production of the fireproof materials. The next leg of his guidance was the new magnesium sulphate fertilizer shop built by the factory.
The factory is massproducing quality fertilizer of special efficacy for plant growth from the shop it has successfully built in a matter of less than six months. He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the factory has successfully built the shop on the principle of profitability. He highly praised the officials, workers and technicians of the factory for having done something great, without being known to others, noting that they have built in a short span of time a pollution-free fertilizer shop capable of massproducing plant growth fertilizer badly needed for farming through their concerted efforts and this is, indeed, a marvelous success. The officials of the factory steadily advancing to create something new have made a right determination and accurately implemented it, solving the problem of fertilizer, a matter of great importance in developing agriculture, he said, adding that this is the work style of the officials desired by the WPK.
Noting that only when one gives full play to the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and the fighting spirit which call for exploring and creating something new by one's own effort and wisdom can one advance a unique idea and make an innovative invention and break a new ground in the fields of science and technology, he appreciated the revolutionary and forward-looking work style of the officials, workers and technicians of this factory.
In order to scale a high eminence of science and technology before any others it is necessary to traverse an untrodden road and stand tests, he said, stressing that the knowledge and technique acquired in the course of overcoming these difficulties alone can be genuine knowledge and assets serviceable to the Korean people. He set forth tasks to be fulfilled to increase the production of fertilizer, saying that the massproduction of plant growth fertilizer would make it possible to further develop agriculture including double cropping.
He repeatedly praised the workers of the factory for their feats, saying that they have brought about a signal turn in production and construction in hearty response to the WPK's line of placing the national economy on a Juche-oriented, modern and scientific basis.
He was accompanied by Kim Ki Nam and Pak Nam Gi.
