Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, first vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, inspected various units in Sukchon County of South Phyongan Province.

Going round the regional-industry factories wonderfully built in Sukchon County to demonstrate the validity and vitality of the WPK's regional development policy, he encouraged officials and employees making devoted efforts to provide the inhabitants with diverse quality foodstuffs and daily necessities in a larger quantity.

He underscored the need to take thorough measures for the supply of raw materials in conformity with the natural, geographical and economic conditions of the region, methodologically conduct lectures on science and technology and passing-on-technique meetings for employees in close contact with relevant fields and continue to direct efforts to the establishment of cultured practices in production and life so that the light industrial bases built under the care of the Party can prove effective.

Learning about the spring tree-planting plan and the sapling production at the Sukchon County Forest Management Station, he called for selecting good species of trees conducive to the afforestation of the county and the development of regional industry, planting them in the right time and manuring and tending them in a scientific and technological way to raise the rooting rate to the maximum.

Acquainting himself with the construction of a greenhouse for cultivating rice seedlings at the Yakjon Farm, he stressed the need to study and introduce the latest sci-tech data and learn from the experience of advanced units so as to turn it into a greenhouse substantially contributing to the growth of grain production at the farm.

He noted that the Sukchon County People's Committee should further enhance the role of explainers of judicial affairs and enhance the law-abiding spirit of the masses through a movement for winning the title of model law-observance unit and that deputies to the people's assemblies at all levels should fulfil their responsibility and duty as representatives of the people in implementing the Party's decisions.

At the Namyang Salt Works, Choe Ryong Hae stressed the need to conduct a dynamic mass technical innovation movement and increase the proportion of mechanization to firmly guarantee the sustainable growth of production.
