Kim Jong Il Provides On-Site Guidance to Industrial Establishments in Kanggye

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

   Pyongyang, June 1 (KCNA)-- General Secretary Kim Jong Il provided on-the-spot guidance to industrial establishments in Kanggye City.
    The first leg of his guidance was the newly constructed Hungju Youth Power Station No. 2.
    He acquainted himself in detail with the construction of the power station and the production of electricity there, looking round the interior and exterior of the power station built as a gigantic structure in the era of Songun.
    Looking over the dam and the reservoir that has turned into a vast man-made lake and making the rounds of generator and power distribution rooms, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the builders have successfully constructed the structure of eternal value.
    It is a signal success that the members of the youth shock brigade and other builders in the city have constructed the power station by bravely pulling through all sorts of trials with the faith in sure victory and the revolutionary optimism that one should live not for today but for tomorrow, he said, highly praising their feats.
    Noting that the completion of the construction of Hungju Youth Power Station No. 3 would make it possible to creditably fulfill the behest of President Kim Il Sung on producing a lot of electricity by making an effective use of water resources rich in the River Jangja, he set forth tasks to be fulfilled to wind up as early as possible the power station now under construction and steadily raise the efficiency of the power stations already built.
    The next leg of his guidance was the Kanggye Wine Factory.
    He learnt about the equipment and production at the factory, going round the technologically updated production processes.
    Noting that the factory has strictly abided by the principle of profitability in industrial management by waging a widespread mass technical innovation movement and establishing a production system depending on locally available raw materials, he said the experience gained by this factory has proved in practice that science and technology precisely mean production and vice versa.
    Then he went to the newly built Kanggye Duck Farm.
    After being briefed on the farm before a huge painting showing a panoramic view of the farm, he went round the interior and the exterior of the farm to acquaint himself in detail with its construction and management and operation.
    He set forth tasks to be implemented to manage and operate the farm, saying that in order to rapidly boost the production on the farm it is necessary to establish a scientific breeding system with a view to obtaining many ducks of superior breed suited to the climatic conditions of the country, take thorough measures for feed supply and put the breeding on a scientific basis.
    During his on-the-spot guidance, Kim Jong Il enjoyed a bird's-eye-view of night scenery of Kanggye City, one of the eight sceneries in the era of Songun.
    Expressing his great satisfaction over the conversion of Kanggye City, a mountainous city in the northern part of the country, into a city of bliss, he stressed that this astonishing reality is a brilliant fruition of the great Kanggye spirit and a manifestation of the inexhaustible mental power of the Korean people who have inherited the soul of Paektu.
    He expressed great expectation and conviction that the working people in Kanggye City and other parts of Jagang Province would continue to creditably perform their pace-setter's role in the dynamic drive for building a great prosperous powerful nation.
    He was accompanied by Pak To Chun, chief secretary of the Jagang Provincial Committee of the WPK, and Kim Ki Nam, secretary of the C.C., WPK.
