The railway stretching across Sokjon Bay in the East Sea of Korea is to contribute to the development of the country’s fisheries.
Builders completed the first ever marine railway of the country in a short time, thus breaking new ground in railway construction.
Its opening ceremony took place on May 30, attended by Premier Pak Pong Ju, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and vice-chairman of the DPRK State Affairs Commission, O Su Yong, vice-chairman of the WPK Central Committee, relevant officials, builders and Munchon citizens of Kangwon Province.
In the inaugural address, the Premier said the completion of the new marine railway bridge linking Koam and Songjon peninsula in the East Sea area has further consolidated the material and technical foundations for developing the country’s rail transport and fishing industry and made it possible to provide people with better conditions for travel.
He said that Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un unfolded a plan for building a large fishing village district embracing the areas of Koam, Tapchon and Lagoon Chona that are favourable for the development of fisheries, put forward the task of building a modern railway between Koam and Tapchon as a preceding process and energetically led the efforts.
He was followed by other speakers, who said they would continue to make innovation and advance in the spirit they displayed during the railway project in order to perform miraculous feats uninterruptedly on every site for effecting an upsurge.
A resolution was adopted at the ceremony.
After the ceremony, a train carrying builders and other participants ran from Koam to Tapchon, sounding the whistle to signal the opening of railway traffic.
