Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- Kim Tok Hun, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and premier of the Cabinet, inspected the key industrial sectors of North and South Hamgyong provinces.

At the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex and the Chongjin Steel Plant, the premier discussed economic and technical issues for putting production on a normal footing and expanding capacity, saying that the metal industry, pivotal one of the country, plays a very big role in achieving the independent and comprehensive development of the national economy.

He underscored the need for the iron and steel plants to scientifically manage equipment for the sustainable growth of iron and steel production, to push ahead with the work for putting the production lines on an intensive basis and to step up the construction of an energy-efficient iron blast furnace.

Learning about the production states at the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex, the February 8 Vinalon Complex and the Chongjin Chemical Fibre Mill, he called for pressing ahead with technical remodeling by ramping up their own technical force and for producing plenty of basic chemicals needed for various sectors of the national economy including agricultural, light and pharmaceutical industries.

Looking round the Jangjingang Power Station, he stressed the need to reinforce the hydraulic structure, do generator-overhauling in a qualitative way and ensure the stability of power production by securing water in a proper way.

The field consultative meetings stressed it was important for North and South Hamgyong provinces and other industrial provinces to turn out in thoroughly implementing the important tasks set forth in the administrative policy of the government of the Republic, pointedly calling for increasing the responsibility and role of officials.

Meanwhile, the premier learned about the farming situation in Kumya County, the modernization of grain-processing lines at the Kowon County food administration station and the recovery from flood damage in Sinhung County.
