Pyongyang, December 5 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, gave field guidance to the Pukjung Machine Complex and the Pukjung Electrode Factory. The first leg of his guidance was the Pukjung Machine Complex.
After acquainting himself in detail with the modernization of the complex and its production, he expressed great satisfaction over the many successes made by the workers of the complex this year by waging a widespread technical innovation movement true to the WPK's idea of attaching importance to science.
He highly appreciated the achievements made by them, noting that they have manufactured various types of engines and compressors and other modern machines and produced and supplied custom-built equipment required by various domains of the national economy in recent years, thereby greatly contributing to the building of a great prosperous powerful nation, and that they have energetically pushed forward the technological reconstruction in recent years, in particular, thus laying a solid material and technical foundation for bringing about a leap forward in production.
He met those of meritorious services of the complex and had a warm conversation with them. Highly praising them for having performed a pace-setter's role in the production, working at the complex for years, he urged them to implant the revolutionary spirit of devotedly carrying through the party's policies into the minds of the younger generation so that they may steadfastly carry forward the Korean working class's tradition of struggle.
He set forth tasks to be fulfilled by the complex, saying that the complex has a very important duty and role to perform in placing the nation's machine-building industry on a new higher stage.
He underscored the need to continue to pay deep attention to the development of the heavy industry and channel great efforts into it, noting that only by developing that industry is it possible to develop the light industry and agriculture and bolster up the country's national power. In order to further improve the quality of machine products it is necessary to dynamically conduct the technical innovation movement, while developing the technological reconstruction in depth, he noted, urging the guiding officials of the complex to manage and operate it with a scientific management and business strategy so as to abide by the principle of profitability in production and, at the same time, fully meet the intrinsic demands of the socialist economy based on collectivism.
He called on the workers of the complex to bring about world-startling leap forward and innovations in the next year, too, with the same vim and vigor with which they resolutely upheld and defended the party's ideas and line in the past and thus contribute to building a rich and powerful country.
The next leg of his guidance was the Pukjung Electrode Factory.
Going round the factory, he learned about its technical equipment and production.
He appreciated the efforts made by the officials, workers and technicians of the factory, expressing satisfaction with the fact that they are producing quality electrode by devoting all their wisdom and enthusiasm.
He indicated tasks and ways for putting the production of electrode on a higher level, saying that the country has favorable conditions for rapidly increasing the production of electrode as it abounds in graphite, the principal raw material for its production. He was accompanied by Kim Phyong Hae, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, and Kim Kuk Thae, Kim Ki Nam, secretaries of the C.C., WPK, and Ri Jae Il, first vice department director of the C.C., WPK.
