The news of the Enlarged Meeting of the Tenth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea is hardening the faith of all the Party members and other people in sure victory in the cause of building a powerful socialist country while instilling into them the firm conviction in the highly-civilized and prosperous future.

As soon as the enlarged plenary meeting was over, Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, together with members of the central leadership body of the Party, went to major industrial establishments with an intention to bring about a fresh upsurge in the development of the national economy and make the overall socialist construction seethe with creation and changes.

He visited a defence industrial enterprise, which plays a key role in bolstering up the country’s defence capabilities, on July 2.

The enterprise, under his energetic guidance, has been turned into a model and standard one in the country’s industrial architecture and establishment of a cultured way of production and life such as modernization of production lines and landscaping. It is now striving to attain the munitions production goal for this year in the high spirits as was displayed to overfulfill its production plan for the first half of the year.

Kim Jong Un went round the room dedicated to the education with revolutionary relics at the enterprise.

Members of the central leadership body of the Party were deeply impressed with the leadership exploits of the respected General Secretary, keenly realizing that the eternal foundation of the powerful country, dignified with independence in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliance in national defence, was consolidated thanks to the wise leadership of the Party, which has vigorously propelled the steady advance of the munitions industry, regarding self-reliant national defence as the mainstay for the defence of national sovereignty and interests and for the development of the revolution.

Guided by leading officials of the enterprise, Kim Jong Un went round its unmanned production lines that had been put on an intelligent, precision and high-performance basis at a high level.

Saying that the level of modernization achieved by our defence industry is the standard and goal to be attained by not only the machine-building industry sector but also all other sectors of the national economy, he stressed the need for members of the central leadership body of the Party to thoroughly study and arm themselves in order to properly organize and guide modernization of production lines at all units in the economic field.

He learned in detail about the integrated production system, established by the enterprise, at its integrated production control room, and gave the task of steadily updating the level of putting the production guidance on an IT basis and rapidly expanding and introducing its successes and experience into the overall economic field.

Going round various production lines of the enterprise in the presence of Kim Jong Un, members of the central leadership body of the Party keenly realized the radical development of the Juche-based defence industry getting higher day by day and matured the plans to make their fields and units overflow with the fighting spirit of the officials and workers of the enterprise, who are working hard to attain higher modernization goals.

Kim Jong Un went round a hostel for workers, hall of culture and welfare facilities, and expressed great satisfaction at the fact that the enterprise has established a high level of cultured environment for workers’ living.

That afternoon he visited a major machine-building factory together with members of the central leadership body of the Party.

Being briefed on the development prospect of the factory and going round various production lines, members of the central leadership body of the Party met and talked with workers, who are defending an outpost for developing the nation's machine-building industry, and encouraged them to achieve greater successes in increasing production.

That evening Kim Jong Un, together with members of the central leadership body of the Party, visited a factory producing medical appliances.

Members of the central leadership body of the Party looked round dozens of kinds of high-performance medical appliances produced by the factory and its production lines.

They were filled with a firm determination to play the vanguard and core role in the struggle for implementing the decisions of the plenary meeting of the WPK Central Committee by making redoubled efforts for the prosperity of the great state and the well-being of the people.
