Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- 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, visited the construction site of the Sinuiju Greenhouse Complex on Jan. 2 to congratulate and encourage all the young vanguard members and soldier-builders who greeted the significant new year in the struggle to glorify the Ninth Congress of the WPK with proud labour achievements.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by leading officials of the WPK Central Committee and the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK.

The young builders, who met Kim Jong Un whom they had been longing to see so much even in their dreams in the second morning of the new year, were filled with great excitement and joy.

When Kim Jong Un got off his private train, all the young builders fervently cheered with great reverence for him who paid his first visit in the significant new year to their construction site to offer them his warm parental greeting of best wishes.

Kim Jong Un greatly encouraged the young people, officers and soldiers who added glory to the noble name of their generation before the times and history out of boundless patriotism, loyalty and indomitable pioneering spirit and through a heroic struggle, deeming the Party's regional development plan and decision a supreme order.

He made a meaningful congratulatory speech.

Saying that he had come there in haste right after the national events in Pyongyang to start the new year of 2026 together with the young vanguard members and soldier builders, who are greeting the new year in the northwestern tip of the country far away from their families and beloved home, he extended warm greetings of encouragement to them on behalf of the Party Central Committee, the government of the Republic and all the people.

Saying that the young builders all came to the grand construction site, to which the Party and the state pay importance, so as to transform the island area, once severely hit by natural disaster, into an ideal greenhouse town symbolic of the new era in more than 500 days, he noted that during those days they opted for hardship and self-cultivation, instead of enjoyment and comfort, regarding it as a worthwhile choice of their youth, and cultivated their strong will and enthusiastic spirit of being able to overcome difficulties, make innovations and do patriotic work, and this is a valuable asset of life to be bought with nothing.

Witnessing the great strength of the youth and the edifices, all associated with enthusiasm and sincerity of our younger generation, our people are picturing the eternal prosperity of their country, he said, adding that seeing them growing up to be robust, the people also get convinced of the continuity of Korean-style socialism. He noted that there is no such younger generation as the Korean youth in the world and this is something very pleasant and satisfactory for the WPK responsible for the future destiny of the country.

Saying that the large greenhouse complex is nearing the moment when it will be presented as a gift of loyalty to the glorious Congress of the motherly Party, he noted that he would have a picture taken with them on the day of its inauguration in the transformed area and the Ninth Congress of the WPK would greet the proud young people in the plaza of the April 25 House of Culture where they started their courageous advance.

He proposed that the youth vanguard and soldier-builders, brave new-generation pioneers, gave cheers of "Hurrah!" in chorus in reflection of the boundless respect and love for the motherland to make their sky-high morale be felt in Pyongyang and all other parts of the country and even deep in the centre of the earth.

All the young builders shouted loud "Hurrah!" for the DPRK, the glorious motherland of all the people, which will prosper forever.

Kim Jong Un met and warmly encouraged the labour innovators.

All the participants made enthusiastic cheers as a token of their boundless gratitude to the tender-hearted father.

Expressing expectation and belief that the young builders, who are fully demonstrating the revolutionary spirit and creation mettle peculiar to our army and the heroic stamina and fighting spirit peculiar to the DPRK youth in the vanguard of the sacred struggle for the comprehensive development of the country, would more courageously and dynamically struggle for the great and noble ideal of the DPRK and its bright future, he warmly waved at them for a long time.

All the young vanguard members and soldier-builders loudly chanted slogans calling for devotedly defending the Party Central Committee and implementing the Party policies, looking up to Kim Jong Un , who has put the highest value on the life and feats of youth dedicated to the prosperity of the country and encourages them to wage a dynamic struggle and achieve a great victory.

That day Kim Jong Un looked round the area of the Sinuiju Greenhouse Complex nearing its inauguration.

The huge construction project and assembly of greenhouse equipment have been completed perfectly and landscaping of the area is now progressing vigorously at the final stage.

Recalling with deep emotion the days when he came up and pushed ahead with a new regional development plan to establish a large greenhouse complex on a bank of the Amnok River where a new life of socialism had settled after eradicating the aftermath of a natural disaster, Kim Jong Un feasted his eyes on the precious asset of the country.

Through the construction of the Sinuiju Greenhouse Complex, we have more deeply realized the truthfulness of the self-sustenance and its great power and came to more clearly observe the level of the working spirit and creativity we have firmly cemented and developed, he said, expressing his firm will to more ambitiously plan the undertakings for the promotion of the wellbeing of the people across the country and radical transformation of the regions and strenuously implement them.

Highly appreciating the patriotic zeal and devoted efforts of young builders who have written a new legendary tale of gigantic transformation, sharing the breath and keeping pace with the Party, he referred to the issues of successfully finishing the landscaping of the complex and a series of tasks to be fulfilled in its operation and management in the future and gave an instruction on its inauguration.

His field guidance at the construction site of the Sinuiju Greenhouse Complex will be etched as a historic visit that instilled redoubled strength and encouragement into all the people, service personnel of the People's Army and the youth across the country making steady progress with gigantic creation and transformation toward the Ninth Congress of the Party to greet it with brilliant victories and glory. -0-
