Pyongyang, February 7 (KCNA) -- The grand construction struggle in 2025 to implement the regional development policy in the new era started thanks to the grand intention of the Central Committee of the great Workers’ Party of Korea to steadily carry forward the era of great rejuvenation when 20 cities and counties across the country undergo change every year, while making greater and more correct and responsible strides for epochal transformation aimed at dynamically rejuvenating the whole country to be a paradise of the people commensurate with the status and prestige of a powerful country.

The WPK, which made a breakthrough in accomplishing the historic cause of restoring the regional economy on a completely new foundation all across the country, determined the policy orientation and action plan which have been expanded and intensified to ensure the more extensive and practical development of regions and accelerate the building of a highly civilized and powerful country. On the basis of this, it unfolded an ambitious blueprint for building public health facilities, leisure complexes and grain storage stations in parallel with the construction of regional-industry factories.

The WPK intends not only to lay modern light industry foundations in all regions, but also to create a development environment, whose motive force is the progress of science, education and public health and which blooms with advanced civilization, so as to promote faster and more dynamically the rejuvenation and development of the country and the well-being of the people. This great ambition of the WPK is imposingly creating a proud chronicle of revolutionary turn to be specially kept in the history of the DPRK.

A groundbreaking ceremony of a hospital and leisure complex in Kangdong County for the Regional Development 20×10 Policy whose construction will be powerfully propelled opening up a new realm and stage of overall development was held with splendour on February 6.

The venue of the ceremony was filled with the militant enthusiasm of soldier-builders, who are determined to keep achieving leaping successes this year, too, in the same spirit and mettle they displayed to glorify with precious entities of great change the first-year struggle for implementing the great strategic programme for regional development of the WPK, and with the great excitement of the working people in Kangdong County, who are optimistic about the hope-filled future when they will be highly civilized and rich day after day along with the assets of rejuvenation to be built soon.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

When he arrived at the venue of the ceremony, all the participants raised stormy cheers.

They paid the highest tribute and glory to Kim Jong Un, the great pioneer of socialist civilization and great master of creation who set the realization of the people’s ideals as the supreme principle of activities of our Party and state and is ushering in a new era of transformation unprecedented in the history of the country when the whole country changes and prospers, in the spirit of passionate service and with the steadfast revolutionary will.

Present at the ceremony were Pak Thae Song, premier of the Cabinet of the DPRK, and other senior Party, government and military officials, members of the non-permanent committees at all levels for promoting the Regional Development 20×10 Policy, service personnel of the Korean People’s Army involved in the construction and officials and working people in Pyongyang Municipality and Kangdong County.

Kim Jong Un made a significant speech in celebration of the ceremony.

Noting that the construction work for the meaningful year 2025 starts with the construction of the hospital and leisure complex in Kangdong County, he said he felt happy and was gratified that the sincerity of our Party and government would bring another wealth to the regional people and that the eye-opening changes in the new era would take place in another part of the country.

Referring to the urgency of the improvement of regional people’s cultural living environment in fundamentally and permanently removing the urban-rural gaps, he said it is the ideal result of the regional development policy to put the whole country on an even cultural level.

He said that it is the top priority of the Party and the government to make the public health sector modern and advanced, clarifying the WPK’s plan and absolute will to newly develop the sector into the soil for cultivating the strength of the life of the country and into the strong roots of regional rejuvenation and thus make the year 2025 recorded in the country’s history as the first year of the public health revolution.

Building modern public health facilities and multifunctional bases for cultural activities in cities and counties is a crucial and most pressing task that is of great strategic significance and which brooks no delay in accelerating the simultaneous and balanced development of all fields and all regions and bringing forward the complete victory of socialism, he said, affirming that the eternal prosperity of the regions precisely means the permanent future of the state and Korean-style socialism.

Saying that today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks the starting point of the great road, a decisive step forward and a major watershed for the future, he ardently called for fighting more courageously and more vigorously to achieve the great ideal of our people and the victory of our cause.

All the participants broke into cheers in great excitement, looking up to the great father who has outlined a new world of socialist civilization and enlightenment, where all the long-cherished desires and ideals of the people are translated into life and reality, and the future changes that will surely be effected through the Korean-style creative struggle.

The commander of the construction regiment made a speech of pledge on behalf of the builders.

Referring to the excitement of soldier-builders to be involved in the construction of essential objects which marks the meaningful start of substantial and qualitative change in accomplishing the grand epochal cause of regional transformation, he said that they are filled with confidence as they have cultivated the genuine outlook on the people, developed the indomitable pioneering spirit and acquired great creative ability under the care of the respected Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un.

He solemnly pledged to build splendid monumental structures symbolic of the new era of regional development in Kangdong County, where a large-scale greenhouse farm had been built thanks to the great loving care of the Party, as a model for the whole country and thus glorify this year marking the 80th birthday of the WPK with great victory and glory.

Kim Jong Un dug the first spadeful of earth to signal the start of the construction project.

The venue for the groundbreaking ceremony seethed with unbridled joy as the historic scene unfolded to be specially etched in the history of victorious development of the dignified DPRK.

When Kim Jong Un pressed the button for blasting, there was a loud sound of detonation signalling the start of the project.

Fireworks were displayed amid the vivid manifestation of boundless reverence for and trust in the great Party Central Committee, which is cultivating the flower garden of all blessings to be enjoyed by all generations to come on this land, based on the idea of “The people are God”, regarding it as its absolute mission to achieve national prosperity and promote the people’s well-being.

Kim Jong Un extended warm encouragement to the soldier-builders replete with the militant morale with which to more courageously display the spirit of unconditional implementation and high executive faculty, peculiar to the KPA, in the great revolutionary work to promote the overall rejuvenation of the country.

He expressed expectation and belief that they would remain intensely loyal to their honourable duty as pioneers of transformation for the country and the people and defenders of happiness in the outpost of the struggle for realizing the cherished desire of the Party.

The splendid groundbreaking of the construction of the hospital and leisure complex in Kangdong County is a clear proof of the WPK’s firm will and matchless executive capability to most thoroughly and perfectly achieve the epochal regional transformation, the most sacred and just change demanded by the times and expected by the people, the validity and bright prospects of our cause and unwavering confidence in it. -0-
