On February 14, the groundbreaking ceremony of a modern offshore farm was held in Ragwon County, South Hamgyong Province, in the presence of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .
In the past the county, situated to the southeast of the Hamgwanryong Mountains bordering on the East Sea of Korea, was called Thoejo County in the sense that it was formed after seawater ebbed out.
But the county was renamed Ragwon as it started to prosper under the leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea some 40 years ago.
Now it is experiencing a new phase of development along with the era of regional rejuvenation under the close concern and meticulous guidance of Kim Jong Un .
At the 11th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK in late December last year, he set forth the task of building in Ragwon County an offshore farm, which is advanced and conforms to the local conditions, and building houses in parallel to turn the fishing village area into an ideal people's village symbolic of new socialist civilization, with a more development-oriented goal of restoring the fishing industry of the country with aquaculture as its major sphere and fundamentally improving the material foundations of the regional economy and people's livelihood.
At the groundbreaking ceremony of the farm he said: This place is free from unfavourable marine meteorological effects and convenient for building a wharf and breakwater as it is safely enclosed by land on three sides and it is very close to the offshore farming ground, rich in aquatic animal and plant resources and superior in the aspect of marine ecology and, therefore, it is the most suitable site for building the farm. It would be a good idea to call the fishing village Ragwonpho in the future. It is my desire to lay a solid foundation for development and create a model socialist paradise we can be proud of, so that the county could prosper forever to suit its name Ragwon.
