To go ahead with such an important work as establishing a modern industry capable of mass-producing high concentration ammonium phosphate fertilizer by our own efforts, technology and manpower from A to Z is a good attempt which fully conforms with the Party's idea and intention of launching the offensive for making a breakthrough head-on and we should continue to make excellent results by dint of such a struggle based on self-reliance, he said.

He said to automate all the elements and processes of a modern phosphatic fertilizer factory under construction and to build it into a labor-saving industry should be chosen as an intentional goal, adding that great attention should always be paid to securing the reliability of automatic control system and security of production processes, building up technical forces of the factory and training producers with deep technical knowledge and high skills.

He said he came to the construction site as the first leg of his field guidance in the New Year with a view to stressing once again that the construction of the Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory is one of the projects the Party is paying primary attention to among the economic tasks to be carried out in the year 2020, the first year of the offensive for making a breakthrough head-on, adding that the Party will take an immediate step for the supply of funds arising in the project and give persistent boost to it. He gave an honorable task and showed great trust in the Cabinet, the Ministry of Chemical Industry and the Ministry of Mining Industry so as to go ahead with the project with a stance and viewpoint befitting masters.

He said it is a matter of course that flag flutters in the wind and the fiercer the adverse wind raised by the hostile forces gets, the fiercer our red flag will flutter in high spirits. He pointed out with full confidence that the situation is severe and difficulties crop up in our way, but our ideal and aspiration will surely come true at our hands when we cherish the justness of our great work as the faith, believe in our own strength and steadily display high responsibility, devotion and activeness.

Noting that it is necessary to complete as soon as possible the construction of the Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory and the restoration of the apatite mines and keep the production of high concentration ammonium phosphate fertilizer going at a high rate, he expressed the expectations and conviction that all the builders, scientists, technicians and workers will work hard as soldiers in the van of the grandiose offensive for making a breakthrough head-on with ardent patriotic awareness that they also are in charge of agricultural front, the fore front for the defence of socialism. -0-
