Onchon County of Nampho Municipality auspiciously greeted the inauguration of regional-industry factories.

A grand ceremony of declaring the inauguration of regional-industry factories in the county took place on January 20.

Present at the ceremony were officials and working people of Nampho Municipality and Onchon County, soldier-builders and employees of regional-industry factories.

He said that the historic task for the comprehensive development of regional industry was decided as the most important political task of the Party and state and regional-industry factories were splendidly built in less than a year since their ground-breaking. This is a fruition of the energetic leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is devoting his heart and soul to providing the regional people with a civilized life envied by the world, he noted.

He called on all officials and working people to turn out as one in the drive for increased production and creation to bring earlier the future of comprehensive national rejuvenation, always bearing in mind the benevolence of the Party, and thus work miracles and innovations and greet the Ninth Congress of the WPK with signal labour successes.

Ryu Song Chol, chief secretary of the Onchon County Committee of the WPK, made a speech.

The speaker pledged to take the lead of the country in upholding the Party's far-reaching policy of regional and rural rejuvenation, being always aware of the great love and trust of General Secretary Kim Jong Un for the regional people.

The factory managers cut an inauguration tape with a resolve to become true servants of the people.

At the end of the ceremony the participants made the rounds of the factories equipped with modern production processes and cultural and welfare facilities.

On the same day, fireworks were displayed to celebrate the inauguration of the regional-industry factories, wishing for the happy future of the people of Onchon County.
