The present situation in which calamitous meteorological phenomena are causing huge damage in all parts of the world brings the importance of land management into bolder relief.

In the past ten years, the DPRK has pushed ahead with land management as mid- and long-term undertakings.

Having personally assumed the command of the reforestation campaign, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un aroused the entire population to the campaign and sowed the seeds of creation and innovation throughout the country as he ensured that all buildings and structures were constructed to be flawless even after 50 or 100 years.

Following in his footsteps of devotion, the whole population turned out in land management.

They built tree nurseries in different parts to put tree sapling production on a scientific, industrial and intensive basis and planted trees in large areas, thereby carrying out the first-stage goal of the reforestation campaign. Now, they are engaged in the second stage and turning all mountains of the country into gold and treasure mountains.

Great progress was achieved in the sprucing up of Pyongyang, provincial capitals and other cities and rural villages according to local characteristics and in the management of rivers, roads, railways, coasts an territorial waters as well as environmental protection and nature conservation.

Through the efforts for turning their hometowns, villages and workplaces into a socialist paradise, people have engraved in their hearts the preciousness of their country and the love for the future and volunteered to become road keepers, trackmen and others so as to join the increasing ranks of patriots who devote their all to the prosperity of the country.

In his speech at the Third Enlarged Meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and his policy speech at the Fifth Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK, General Secretary Kim Jong Un clarified that all the cities and counties should make their areas remain unperturbed and safe from any natural disasters by pushing forward land management and that the state should push ahead with land and environment conservation as mid- and long-term prospective undertakings.

At present, the country has mapped out an ambitious plan for completing river improvement, afforestation for erosion control, dyke maintenance and tide embankment projects in the main and entering into their regular management and the people are putting spurs to the effort for transforming their local areas into lands of happiness where they will enjoy practical well-being and civilization.
