Groundbreaking ceremonies took place respectively on February 6 in Songhwa County in the granary on the west coast, Musan County and Taean District with a leading iron ore producer and large machine-building base and Phanmun District in the southernmost part of the country to signal the start of construction projects for the new year, more vividly highlighting the validity and prospects of the Regional Development 20×10 Policy set forth by the Workers' Party of Korea.

Present there were Choe Tong Myong, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, Ju Chang Il, Kim Hyong Sik and Ju Chol Gyu, department directors of the WPK Central Committee, senior officials of the Party and power organs in South Hwanghae Province, North Hamgyong Province, Nampho Municipality and Kaesong Municipality, officials and working people in the relevant areas and soldier-builders.

At the ceremonies speakers noted that the significant ceremonies marking the start of the construction projects for the regional development policy for 2026, when a new stage of the overall development of socialism will be opened, were held amid the great interest and expectations of the residents of Songhwa County, Musan County, Taean District and Phanmun District.

The unprecedented gigantic revolution to transform the regional areas is being staged without letup, they said, adding that this reality is an eye-opening change that can be brought about only by the transparent outlook on the revolution and people of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who knows no satisfaction in the work for the people.

Noting it is the intention and firm will of the WPK that the long-term development of the regional areas represents the everlasting future of our state and the prospect of Korean-style socialism, they ardently called for displaying the indomitable patriotic spirit and fighting traits in order to uphold the Party Central Committee's policy on regional construction with a single mind and loyalty.

Then the commanders of the 124th regiments of the Korean People's Army made speeches.

As the venues of the ceremonies were full of excitement and joy of the regional people who will live in happiness and comfort in the new era of regional change, excavators, hydraulic loaders and trucks started their work.
