The Central Committee of the great Workers' Party of Korea is bringing earlier the eye-opening future of the comprehensive development of socialism through the epochal transformation of the whole country. Thanks to its dynamic and powerful leadership ability, a fulfilling and stirring era unprecedented in history is being ushered in on this land.

Modern light industry factories perfectly built this year in Sinpho City of South Hamgyong Province, which witnessed the completion of a new offshore farm last year, greeted the significant moment of their inauguration.

It signifies the establishment of another reliable material foundation, which will enrich the life of the residents in the historic place, the venue of a consultative meeting on the development of the regional economy recorded as the present-day Changsong Joint Conference in the history of the Korean revolution. This striking reality is a brilliant result of the unique state-building idea and energetic leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un who is making constant efforts to develop all the cities and counties across the country into civilized and prosperous regional bases.

The inauguration ceremony of the regional-industry factories in Sinpho City for the Regional Development 20×10 Policy was held with splendour on December 19.

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, attended the ceremony.

When he arrived at the venue of the ceremony, all the participants raised stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" in reflection of their great emotion and delight of being honoured to have him, the great father of the large family of the whole country who is translating all dreams and ideals of the people into reality of the present times, in their place again.

Present at the ceremony were members of the central leadership of the Party, commanding officers of the large combined units of the Korean People's Army, officials and working people in South Hamgyong Province and Sinpho City, soldier-builders and employees of the factories.

Ri Il Hwan, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, addressed the ceremony.

Saying that the coastal area of the East Sea is also overflowing with the joy over the completion of modern regional-industry factories in different parts of the country, which highlights the historic significance of 2025, a year of great transformation, the speaker congratulated the Sinpho citizens on greeting the moment of glory today again in the wake of the splendid inauguration ceremony of an offshore farm held in the presence of Kim Jong Un a year ago.

As witnessed by history, the current transformation is the precious fruition of the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un who indicated the path and ways for Sinpho City to achieve development and prosperity with its own resources and took all measures to that end, he said.

He referred in an excited tone to the devoted efforts of Kim Jong Un who led the city step by step to turn it into a comprehensive industrial zone capable of making effective use of marine resources, as he instructed that the Party's regional development policy should not merely become a symbolic one but should be the one that radically improves the living conditions of the regional people and promotes the distinctive development of the areas.

Pointing to the fact that 40 cities and counties have laid the foundations for independent development already in the second year as the cause of transforming the whole country has been advanced at lightning speed, he stressed that it is a convincing demonstration of the truthfulness, inexhaustible might and bright prospect of the Party's regional development policy set forth and being guided by Kim Jong Un.

When we continue to follow the course of courageous creation and advance, valuing the precious fruits of the persistent struggle, our strength will grow greater and the goal of comprehensive rejuvenation, in which all cities and counties undergo transformation and development in a balanced way, will surely be attained earlier, he said, ardently calling upon everyone to dedicate themselves with single-minded patriotism to bringing about the prosperity of the beloved motherland, a more civilized and beautiful life and a bright future of the rising generations.

As cheers of excitement resounded throughout the venue of the inauguration ceremony, fireworks were set off with many balloons floating up into the sky.

Kim Jong Un cut the inauguration tape.

The residents of Sinpho City extended thanks to Kim Jong Un for repeatedly visiting their hometown, leaving the traces of great guidance, to enable them to enjoy benefits from the regional-industry revolution earlier than others, and for continuously showing them great benevolence as if the affection he showed them was insufficient.

Lovely children presented Kim Jong Un with bouquets of fragrant flowers reflecting the unanimous wishes of the residents.

Kim Jong Un waved back to the enthusiastically cheering participants and warmly wished the city a bright future when it would be richer along with the history of steady transformation of regions.

He met commanding officers of the army unit involved in the construction of the regional-industry factories in the city and encouraged all the officers and men of the construction unit who successfully built reliable production bases conducive to improving the local people's living standards with their vanguard role of ushering in an era of regional transformation.

He went round the Phungo Shop and the Sinpho City Foodstuff Factory.

Looking at the products produced by regional-industry factories, he said that Sinpho City has now reliable potential and strong driving force for its independent development and that the Phungo-dong area has turned into a centre for local economic development and a powerful base for improving the people's standard of living.

He reaffirmed the will and determination of the WPK to set a higher goal of regional development and take longer strides for progress to perseveringly attain it without an inch of deflection.

Going round various production rooms of the foodstuff factory, he pointed to the need for the recently-built regional-industry factories to exchange with each other their experience gained in production and generalize the advantages so as to positively inspire the light industrial production bases across the country to develop together.

He requested the officials of Sinpho City and employees of the regional-industry factories to steadily and persistently push ahead with the work for the normal operation and increased production of the light industrial bases in the spirit of devoted service for the people so as to make sure that the vitality of the Party's policy leads to the promotion of the wellbeing of the local residents.

He then visited the Sinpho City Offshore Farm.

He learned in detail about aquaculture production and processing.

He expressed his great satisfaction, seeing every freezing warehouse filled with products.

Recollecting with deep emotion the time when he had a consultative meeting on the development of the regional economy in the place, which had only a pine forest and sandy beach in July last year, he said with pleasure that the aquaculture base, which has entered the track of steady development in a matter of one and a half years, is producing marine products on a regular basis and the light industrial bases of the city has come to have a strong development potential for producing various kinds of processed seafood and daily necessities at their will.

Saying that the vitality of the Party's policy proving effective in reality makes us feel the pride of having made a correct decision and harden the will to go along the road chosen by ourselves to the end, he affirmed that our ideal, will and efforts reflected in our today’s every step will surely bring earlier a prosperous future when all the people across the country lead a happy life together.

He hoped Sinpho City, which is undergoing the process of development as a model for the cities and counties in the coastal areas of the country, would achieve fame as a highly civilized and rich city which definitely writes a new history of prosperity by relying on its independent foundation.

As they are led by Kim Jong Un, who regards the people as heaven and unconditionally subordinates every affair of the country to their wellbeing, the cause of the DPRK bravely advancing with the most just and far-reaching ambition will be invincible forever and the happy laughter of the people will resound endlessly year after year along with the assets of prosperity rising up across the country.
