Pyongyang, July 18 (KCNA) -- The leadership of the great father, who has always worked heart and soul to provide our people with the most civilized and happy life, gave birth to another story of love in the Wonsan Kalma area turning into a beautiful cultural tourist resort for the people.

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, gave field guidance over the construction of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area on July 16.

Accompanying him were Kim Tok Hun, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK and premier of the Cabinet, and Jo Yong Won, Ri Il Hwan, Kim Jae Ryong, Pak Thae Song and other secretaries of the C.C., WPK, Pak Jong Gun, vice-premier of the Cabinet and chairman of the State Planning Commission, major commanding officers of the armed forces organs, officials concerned of the C.C., WPK, Kangwon Province and the design sector.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un personally initiated the construction of a unique and modern coastal tourist city of Korean style, of which we can be proud in the eyes of the world, and visited the construction site several times to indicate the orientation and ways for the successful development project and has guided the whole course of construction step by step. Thanks to his ceaseless devotion and wise leadership, a magnificent and grand panorama is taking on its shape as a paradise of people in Myongsasipri, a scenic spot in the East Sea of Korea.

All the builders have turned out in high spirits with a firm determination to successfully complete the construction of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area and fully demonstrate the validity of the people-first politics of the WPK. They perform fresh miracles and feats every day, true to Kim Jong Un 's noble intention to make devoted service for the well-being of the people, thus carrying out the construction goal set forth by the Party Central Committee without fail.

Feasting his eyes on the panoramic view of the vast tourist area stretched along the coastline, Kim Jong Un , with a broad smile on his face, said that it's really beautiful and spectacular and the peculiar sight of the picturesque coastal scenic spot refreshed him, repeatedly expressing great satisfaction at the fact that it has taken on its impeccable appearance as a world-level coastal tourist city as planned.

He highly praised the builders for bringing about collective innovations in ensuring both the speed and quality of construction, true to the Party Central Committee's plan to build the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area as a monumental edifice of eternal value for the people.

He stressed the need to further expand the successes in the construction, not slackening the spirit, as the project has entered the final stage, calling on the commanding officers to put higher demands, the builders to display redoubled efforts and the construction inspection organs to enhance their responsibility and role to the maximum.

He convened a consultative meeting with officials accompanying him on the spot to discuss the practical matters for making full preparations for the operation of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area according to a well thought-out plan as the 19th Enlarged Meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK decided to open the coastal tourist area by next May.

Stressing the importance of making good preparations for the operation of the tourist area, he said it is important to build a fine resort but it is also a key issue to ensure perfect service and operation appropriate to its class. However fashionable its facilities are, it will depreciate in its value as a tourist area if the level of the service and operation is low, he added.

Noting that the capacity of the service and operation and its feasibility should be scientifically examined to properly select service units, he called for making preparations for operation on a full scale from now on. And he specified the orientation for doing so and took a series of important measures.

The meeting discussed all the issues arising in the preparations for ensuring smooth operation of the tourist area, including the issue of ensuring the parking space suitable for the capacity of the tourist area, building an amusement park and a leisure activity area, ensuring the capacity for garbage and sewage treatment and training experts for all services.

Wonsan is a coastal city of natural and geographical beauty, and, in particular, Myongsasipri of the Kalma peninsula has long been known as one of the most famous scenic spots, he said, adding that a coastal wonderland to be known to the world as the best tourist resort of the DPRK would be successfully built as its national treasure to surely win Myongsasipri the fame as a pride of Wonsan and the best tourist attraction in the near future.

Stressing the need to boost tourism in a long-term manner on the basis of the experience gained in the construction of the coastal tourist area, he said that as our country is surrounded by the sea on its eastern and western sides and has lots of scenic spots on its eastern coast, including Mt Kumgang, Mt Chilbo, Majon, Kumya, Riwon and Yombunjin, it is needed to steadily implement the policy of concentrating on making rational use of the abundant coastal resources of tourism. And he called for taking long-term steps to exploit the resources of sports-based, leisure-oriented, sightseeing coastal tourism as the resources of coastal tourism in a unique manner.

After receiving the important instructions of Kim Jong Un that clearly indicated the path for new development of national tourism and advanced the precious guidelines and ways for achieving comprehensive rejuvenation of Korean-style socialism and providing the people with a happier life, all the officials deeply realized once again the faith that the plan and determination of the WPK Central Committee are an immutable science and truth, and made a firm pledge to fulfil their responsibility and duty in the important and worthwhile struggle for creating better civilization of the Korean people, true to his leadership. -0-
