Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il provided field guidance to the tideland reclamation site on Taegye Islet and the Sinam Co-op Farm in Ryongchon County of North Phyongan Province.
The first leg of his guidance was the tideland reclamation site on Taegye Islet.
He went round the monument to the on-the-spot guidance of President Kim Il Sung standing at the entrance of the tideland.
He said that the large-scale project for reclaiming the tideland including the areas of Cholsan, Sonchon and Kwaksan has made successful progress, turning it into a fertile land thanks to the grandiose plan of the President for nature-remaking and his wise leadership.
Then, he acquainted himself in detail with the reclamation of the tideland, going round the dike and construction sites stretching out endlessly.
Seeing the construction sites where projects for dikes and networks of facilities in the reclaimed tideland are under way, he expressed great satisfaction over the vigorous progress made in the reclamation of the tideland.
It is the fighting trait of our working class to take the lead in pushing forward the cause of our socialism in the spirit of the "Arduous March" while firmly adhering to the socialist principle, the principle of the revolution, he said, adding that the workers of the Management Bureau of the North Phyongan Provincial Tideland Reclamation have reclaimed many tidelands including those on Tasa Islet and Pidan Islet by damming off sea in the indomitable self-sacrificing spirit, thus greatly contributing to the building of a rich and powerful country.
He put forward tasks to be fulfilled to complete the reclamation projects ahead of schedule, saying that the development of the tideland on Taegye Islet is an important work for the prosperity of the country.
In order to satisfactorily settle the food problem it is necessary to make the best use of the existing cultivated land and, at the same time, obtain more areas of new land, he noted, stressing that what is important here is to successfully reclaim the tideland.
Noting that state attention should be paid to the reclamation of the tideland on Taegye Islet as it is a difficult and vast nature-remaking project, he underscored the need to strengthen technological guidance to it and, at the same time, take thorough-going measures for supplying things necessary for it.
The next leg of his guidance was the Sinam Co-op Farm in Ryongchon County.
After being briefed on the agro-scientific and technological development on the farm, he commanded a bird's-eye view of the Ryongchon Plain and acquainted himself in detail with the farming for this year. He praised the agricultural working people there for devoting their patriotic zeal, aware of being responsible for the nation's agricultural production.
He highly appreciated the working traits and style of the officials and working people of the farm, expressing great satisfaction over the fact that they have brought about a signal turn in the agricultural production in recent years by properly managing and operating the farm, scrupulously organizing the labor force and tenaciously doing all farm work to meet the scientific and technological requirements.
He emphasized that it is the basic way of increasing the grain production to fully meet the requirements of the Juche-based farming method to suit the climatic and soil conditions of Korea and channel sustained great efforts into the implementation of the policy to bring about a radical turn in seed production, in particular.
He was accompanied by Kim Phyong Hae, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK.
