The second year's tasks for the gigantic regional development policy, decided and powerfully led by the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea to turn all cities and counties of the country into regional hubs of the socialist state in a balanced and simultaneous way, have been successfully carried out along with the inauguration of the hospital and regional-industry factories in Ryonggang County.

Under the WPK's grand policy on regional development, light-industry bases were wonderfully built in the twenty cities and counties this year, following last year, and modern hospitals, leisure complexes and offshore farms commissioned in several cities and counties.

This proud reality adding more pride to the era of great changes through epochal successes is a precious fruition of the noble people-first idea of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who set it as a historic task to be boldly assumed and certainly implemented by our Party to provide all the people across the country with the happiest life and has pushed forward it through powerful leadership practice.

An inauguration ceremony of the hospital and regional-industry factories in Ryonggang County of Nampho Municipality was held with splendor on December 29, adding luster to the climax of the 2025 inauguration season.

The speaker warmly congratulated the county people on receiving the modern hospital and light-industrial factories on the same day and at the same time in 2025, the first year of the public health revolution in the new era and the second year of implementing the Regional Development 20×10 Policy.

He extended warm thanks to the commanding officers and soldiers of the regional construction regiment of the 3rd Corps for having perfectly completed the projects for the regional construction policy as desired by the Party, true to the inherent duty of the Korean People's Army always faithful to the call of the country and the people.

The fruits of the efforts for transformation which have sprung up in all parts of the country, including its northern and southern ends and inland and coastal areas, are full of impressive stories telling people what the aim of our regional revolution is and where the strength of the nonstop advance lies in, he said, referring to the great painstaking efforts and devoted leadership of Kim Jong Un who dedicated himself to carrying out the construction plan broader and deeper than last year.

He stressed that our growing ideal and self-confidence and the dynamic progress of the regional revolution are the true picture of socialist Korea displayed by the seasoned and strong leadership of Kim Jong Un, who possesses the transparent revolutionary outlook that the Party policy is the will, demand and interests of the people and regards the ardent patriotic will and the absolute standard that the people leading a happy life means national power as the supreme principle of all his revolutionary activities.

True to the long-cherished desire of the Party Central Committee to make the regional people lead a happy life as soon as possible, we should simultaneously build more structures, including modern light-industrial factories, hospitals and leisure complexes, in 20 cities and counties next year than this year and should make greater progress and a leap forward in their qualitative aspect, he said, calling upon all the officials to regard Kim Jong Un's policy on regional construction, which they kept in mind again in this inauguration season, as absolute standard, and to fulfill their responsibility and duty in creation and construction for the promotion of the people's wellbeing.

Saying that our extraordinary will and our dynamic efforts would bring earlier the future of prosperity when all the people across the country lead a happy life, the speaker expressed the belief that such achievements as today's proud success demonstrating the truth of the Party's policy and the might of Korean-style socialism would be steadily made in the hopeful New Year 2026.

Lovely children presented him bunches of flowers in reflection of the unanimous gratitude of the people of Ryonggang County.

Kim Jong Un sincerely hoped that the county people who greeted the auspicious event of meaningful inauguration would lead a happy life on their land of bliss.

He met commanding officers of the construction unit that successfully built the Ryonggang County Hospital and regional-industry factories to highly appraise the loyalty to the Party and the country they displayed, and sent warm militant salute to all the soldier-builders.

Then he looked around the Ryonggang County Hospital.

He said that through the implementation of the expanded regional development policy such as building standard regional hospitals in Kangdong County, Kusong City and Ryonggang County this year, we have gone through another course for the victorious advance of the sacred cause aimed at bringing about practical change of the whole country and accumulated precious successes and experience for putting the regional construction on a definite development stage.

Making the hard-won precious creations serve as powerful engine for the development of socialist public health is a heavy and responsible revolution task whose fulfillment is as important as their construction, he said, clarifying important tasks for the operation and medical service of regional hospitals to be built in cities and counties across the country with this year as the starting point.

He said that all the medical workers of the county hospital should fulfill their exclusive duty of being responsible for the health of the citizens with high level of medical service and sincere devotion, mindful of the Party's intention of placing the lives and security of the people and promotion of their health above all else.

Noting that the inauguration of the Ryonggang County Hospital and regional-industry factories successfully concluded the construction of model hospitals and leisure complexes and regional-industry factories in 20 cities and counties planned for this year and opened up a new phase for further hastening the comprehensive development of socialist construction based on absolute support and patriotic zeal of the people, he said with pride that the year 2025 would be recorded as a historic year that proved more vividly the validity and vitality of the regional development policy through reality.

He expressed the firm belief that all the officers and men of the regional construction regiments at all levels of the large combined units of the KPA would more dynamically display the indomitable revolutionary spirit and creative mettle peculiar to our army, which remains absolutely loyal to the order of the Party and is dedicated to realizing the long-cherished desire of the Party, and always perform signal feats in the theaters of regional construction for the cause of the Party and the happy life of the people.

Leading officials of the Party and government went round the newly-built hospital and foodstuff factory, daily-necessities factory and garment factory, together with the participants in the inauguration ceremony.

The inauguration ceremony marked another occasion in further cementing the belief in the bright future of eternally prospering socialist Korea along with the brilliant results of the regional development policy which has been powerfully carried on year on year thanks to the unique state-building ideas of the great Comrade Kim Jong Un and his wise leadership.
