One July day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Phungo-dong area in Sinpho, South Hamgyong Province, to convene a consultative meeting of officials.

He had long ago worked out a plan to improve the people’s living standards as early as possible by making effective use of the seas in conformity with the country’s natural and geographical features characterized by long coastlines, and given a special instruction that the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea should take direct charge of and push forward with the effort for setting an example to be followed by all coastal cities and counties to promote their development in a characteristic way as suited to their specific conditions by making the most of marine resources.

And in April he set Sinpho as a pilot unit and ensured that the issue of turning the Sinpho City Offshore Farm into a new model of offshore farming was discussed and decided at the Tenth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK.

He analysed the economic potentials of the seas and the importance and significance of an effective exploitation and use of their resources by the coastal cities and counties in successfully bringing about an epochal change in the 10-year revolution for the regional development which has entered the full-scale phase of its implementation, and set forth practical tasks and ways to this end.

He said that only when an atmosphere for balanced and competitive growth is created in all regions by building up every region’s foundation for independent and sustainable development, can the regional economy develop, and the more the regional economy develops, the greater the motive force of the overall economy will become, contributing to the strategic economic potential growth.

Then he added that if scallop and kelp farming is conducted well in the waters off the Phungo-dong area, the city of Sinpho with infertile land and poor economic potentials, can become the richest among the cities and counties in the country in three to four years.

After the meeting, he looked round the waters for aquaculture. Saying that the waters off the Phungo-dong area are favourable for aquaculture in many aspects, such as water quality, depth and temperature, he pictured in his mind the future of the Sinpho citizens who will enjoy a happier life along with the wonderful change in their region.
