Under the energetic guidance of the great Party Central Committee, the people of the DPRK are setting up eye-opening creations, which promise a dramatic expansion of scope of their struggle and rapid and definite development across their country. And construction of the largest-ever greenhouse farm on the shore of the Amnok River and permanent embankments in the island area to be specially recorded in the new era of changes has been dynamically stepped up in the northwestern border of the country, and the structures have now taken on their majestic appearance.

Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, gave field guidance at the construction sites of the Wihwado Combined Greenhouse Farm and the permanent embankments in the city of Sinuiju and the island area of Uiju County on August 1.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Jo Yong Won, secretary of the WPK Central Committee.

He was greeted on the spot by No Kwang Chol, minister of National Defence of the DPRK, commanding officers of the large combined units of the services involved in the construction projects and officials of design and relevant institutions.

Kim Jong Un acquainted himself with the construction of the Wihwado Combined Greenhouse Farm.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the project, unprecedented in its extensiveness, originality and comprehensiveness, is being pushed forward according to the set timetable thanks to the proud labour struggle of the military and civilian builders who are conducting the gigantic construction campaign prioritized and declared by the Party in the spirit of unconditional implementation and with abilities of tenacious execution.

He said that the construction front of the greenhouse farm, in which not only different types of vegetable greenhouses, processing factory and storages but also a vegetable science research centre, trial cultivation greenhouses and hundreds of houses are being built simultaneously in the area vaster than those of all the large-scale greenhouse farms built in recent years put together, serves as a great demonstration of the inexhaustible development capability of our cause, which steadily leads the worthwhile pioneering work to great creations and changes.

He went round various places of the construction site.

In order to make our construction work the one of blazing the trail into the future from A to Z, it is important, while aspiring to the new and development, to design the objects of construction so that they can be multi-functional, multi-purpose and practical in conformity with their characteristics, functions and prospects, he said, pointing out a series of deviations revealed in the project.

To take as a typical example, the railway station under construction in the greenhouse farm area was designed as a passenger station that cannot perform the functions of a freight station, he said, adding that this shows that our officials are still working mechanically and passively without proper economic calculation and logical thinking. He gave instructions on changing the functional structure of the railway station so as to improve its functionality and practicality as a comprehensive transport centre, building a new vegetable storehouse and placing the vegetable processing factory around it.

He set forth a series of important tasks for developing the region including those for building all the roads in the island area in a technically qualitative way, creating drainage and water passage capacity in a scientific and prospective way in conformity with the geographical and geological conditions, making preparations in a responsible way for starting production immediately after the completion of the project like training technicians and skilled workers for the operation of the farm, supplying farm machines and equipment necessary for the farm’s operation and selecting seeds, and those for planting many fruit trees and cover plants in the areas surrounding the greenhouses, creating windbreak forests and tree nursery and building Korean evodia forests, fish farm, orchard and natural park.

He also stressed the need to envisage building various cultural bases, a clinic and other necessary elements for the promotion of the welfare of the inhabitants as suited to the geographical and isolated characteristics of the area under development, and thus create a new phase in the sphere of cultural life, instructing that these additional projects should be included in the next year’s plan and pushed forward.

Noting that the miracles in construction desired by our Party are created by the conscious and soaring spiritual strength of the masses, he said that political and ideological education should be conducted intensively without interruption, holding aloft our Party’s traditional struggle slogan “Let us produce, study and live like the anti-Japanese guerrillas!” to train all the builders to be heroes of the revolution and creation, and stressed that to this end, it is necessary to create a model for the frontline-style political and ideological education at the construction site.

He affirmed that if the large-scale greenhouse farm that will be put on a modern, intensive and industrial footing is built against the background of modern houses standing in rows on the shore of the Amnok River, this island area will enjoy fame as a characteristic base of regional development with its own strong potentials of development and as a symbol of innovative development.

Then he learned about the project for building permanent embankments in the island areas of the city of Sinuiju and Uiju County.

Upholding with death-defying practice the Party Central Committee’s order to provide a permanent security guarantee in the island area in parallel with the construction of the greenhouse farm, the service personnel have completed the first-stage embankment project ahead of schedule, thus building on the shore of the Amnok River a splendid bulwark against any natural disaster.

He highly praised the soldier-builders for making a contribution to turning the island handed down as an island of disaster into the one of paradise, saying delightedly that flooding that had been regarded by the residents as their fate has become a tale of the past and the area is undergoing tremendous changes as a promenade and even a riverside park not inferior to those on the shore of the Taedong River in Pyongyang are being built.

He expressed expectation and belief that the builders, mindful of their honourable mission and duty as pioneers, performers and executors of the great revolution, will successfully build the combined greenhouse farm in the Sinuiju area, a border gateway to the country, through their continuous and accelerated creative struggle and present it as a gift to the Ninth Congress of the WPK.

Inspired by his great trust and militant encouragement, all the builders renewed their firm will to build a modern ideal city of cultural efflorescence on the shore of the Amnok River, where a new life of socialism has been settled, as early as possible by redoubling the creative mettle of the revolutionary army and the fighting spirit of the heroic youth.
