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 site of the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm nearing completion on November 26.

He was accompanied by Jo Yong Won and Pak Jong Chon, secretaries of the WPK Central Committee, Kim Jae Ryong and Kim Yong Su, department directors of the WPK Central Committee, and Kim Chol Sam, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK.

He was greeted on the spot by commanding officers of the units of the Korean People's Army and officials of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade and design and relevant institutions involved in the construction.

He went round such main buildings as domed glass hydroponic greenhouse and glass edaphic greenhouse, the trunk road in the area of the farm, the construction site of embankment, etc. to learn in detail about the progress of construction.

Thanks to the devoted efforts of the service personnel of army units and the youth shock brigade members who are out in the honourable struggle for creation, a 24-7 campaign, to greet the glorious Party Congress, the construction of the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm is vigorously progressing at the 97 percent level of the total amount of construction work. After the completion of the land levelling for the greening and the creation of a windbreak forest in the farm area, the land levelling of the areas around the nature parks and reservoir has been carried out at 97 percent and 87 percent respectively, the laying of turfs in the areas covering several hundred hectares at 95 percent and the pavement of the trunk road in the farm area and roads in the greenhouse sections at 72 percent. And the farm is now making trial runs of the electric power, water supply and drainage systems for greenhouses, the vegetable science research centre, such public buildings as hostel, neighbourhood-serving amenities, nursery and kindergarten and hundreds of dwelling houses.

According to the Party's decision, all the projects for the development of this area have progressed on the principle of optimization to ensure profitability, he said, adding: In particular, the arranging of the vast surrounding area such as road construction and landscaping in the permanent embankment section have been carried out at a high qualitative level to preserve the features of the region and it is really good.

He noted with great satisfaction that the island area, once called a barren land, has turned into a golden island with great potential for leading the regional development and the improvement of the material and cultural life of the local people.

We are witnessing the great changes in the region, which can never be neglected, he said, noting that it is gratifying that the grandiose plans and tasks for the comprehensive development are being carried out one by one and the wealth of creation is increasing, but what our Party values more than this is that the young people are growing up to be the big trees of patriotism in this course. He underscored that it is a pleasure and pride of our Party, state and people incomparable with fabulous wealth in the world that the new generations responsible for the future of this country have grown up to be a large unit of patriots who put their country first and feel a pride in doing revolution overcoming ordeals.

He pointed out a series of tasks for completing the project and clarified the ways for the preparation for the operation of the farm and its management.
