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, provided guidance in various sectors of South Hwanghae Province.

Learning about the preparations for operating the Hwangnam Steel Works nearing completion, Choe Ryong Hae stressed the need for the works to thoroughly establish the system of supplying raw materials and fuel and push ahead with the work of strengthening its own technical forces in a far-sighted way, so as to make a substantial contribution to the economic development of the province and the improvement of the people's standards of living.

At the Sinwon Cement Factory and the wharf construction site of the Kumpho Mine of the Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex, he stressed the need to put efforts into the management of equipment and technology and actively introduce advanced construction methods by taking it as the key point to improve the quality of products, noting that the most important thing is for officials to make redoubled efforts and fulfil their responsibility and duty with high awareness of being leading personnel of the revolution.

Going round such farms as the Raengjong Farm in Ongjin County, the Yonyang Farm in Haeju City and the Taephung Farm in Chongdan County, he said that it is necessary to make substantial preparations for finishing the harvest of wheat and barley in good time since the area under first crop cultivation has increased remarkably as compared to last year and cultivate many good varieties of oil and sugar crops to supply enough raw materials to regional-industry factories.

He visited the Haeju Tractor Parts Factory and the Chongdan County Irrigation Management Station where he underscored the need to steadily improve the quality of various kinds of parts by relying on science and technology and maintain and repair pumping machine power equipment and irrigation facilities in a responsible manner. At the provincial tree nursery, he called for raising a large number of saplings of wild fruit trees that suit the natural and geographical characteristics of the relevant area and saplings of other trees needed for landscaping.

Learning in detail about the work of the provincial people's committee, Choe underlined the need to further strengthen the guidance over law-abiding life in a methodological way as required by the policy and called on officials of power organs, the deputies to the people's assemblies in particular, to become standard-bearers in implementing the Party's policies and true servants of the people who find and do even one more good thing for the people.
