Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the Chongjin Primary Seasoning Factory and the newly built Army-People Power Station. The first leg of his visit was the Chongjin Primary Seasoning Factory.
    Going round its production processes, he acquainted himself with its reconstruction and production there.
    Seeing a variety of primary seasonings palatable to the people's taste streaming out, he was greatly satisfied with the successful completion of a modern foodstuff factory to be greatly conducive to the people's diet.
    He underlined the need to keep the production going at a high rate and thus make a substantial contribution to improving the standard of the people's living.
    Many modern primary seasoning factories have sprung up in different parts of the country in recent years and the people have greatly benefited from them, he said, adding that a radical turn will take place in the diet of the people when the already built factories are operated in full capacity and, at the same time, the construction of similar factories are completed as scheduled.
    The master key to keeping the production of primary seasonings going at a high rate is to satisfactorily settle the issue of raw materials, he said, stressing the need to scrupulously organize the work for laying solid raw material bases at cooperative farms and powerfully arouse the enthusiasm of farmers and thus produce and supply larger quantities of raw materials to the factories in good time.
    It is important to raise the quality of primary seasonings as they are most essential for the people's diet, he said, stressing: To this end it is necessary to deepen researches into this field to ensure the uniform technical index and realize the automation of production processes on a high level.
    The next leg of his guidance was the power station.
    After being briefed on the construction of the power station before a huge painting showing its panoramic view, he made the rounds of a generator room, a power distribution room and other places of the power station to learn in detail about its construction and electricity production there.
    He was greatly satisfied to learn that the modern power station has been built successfully to meet the need of the Songun era. He highly praised the builders and their helpers for their feats, adding that their construction of such modern power station in a short span of time is a precious fruition of their boundless fidelity to the revolution and ardent patriotism.
    He advanced the tasks to be fulfilled to operate the power station, underlining the need to improve the management of equipment and technical control in order to operate it in full capacity.
    He was accompanied by Hong Sok Hyong, chief secretary of the North Hamgyong Provincial Committee of the WPK, Kim Ki Nam, secretary of the WPK Central Committee, and Pak Nam Gi, department director of the same.
