Regional construction projects for the new year are being launched in the DPRK in a three-dimensional way and on a full scale, demonstrating the revolutionary will and the power of precise execution of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Groundbreaking ceremonies of construction projects for the regional development policy took place in Pongsan, Sijung, Sinhung and Thongchon counties on February 8.

Present there were Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK, first vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, Ri Hi Yong and Kim Tok Hun, secretaries of the WPK Central Committee, Ju Chol Gyu, department director of the WPK Central Committee, chief secretaries of provincial Party committees, officials of the relevant provinces and counties, working people and service personnel.

Saying that light-industry factories, hospitals and leisure complexes will be simultaneously built in 20 cities and counties this year when a new phase will be opened up for attaining the grand goal of comprehensive development of socialism, speakers at the ceremonies stressed that this fact corroborates the truthfulness and vitality of the regional revolution staged by the Party to realize the ideal and long-cherished desire of the people, and the rosy future of socialism.

They said that this proud reality, in which the era of great transformation is ushered in by dint of practical successes, is an amazing result brought about by the wise guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who set it as a historic task the WPK should boldly and surely fulfil to provide all the people across the country with the happiest life, and has led the efforts to accomplish it with his strong leadership practice.

Noting that the current era, when the country is vibrant with epoch-making transformation unprecedented in its history, requires the strong will, self-confidence, unbounded courage and stubborn efforts to bring earlier the future without fail by dint of self-reliance, the speakers called for more vigorously fighting on to implement the Party's regional development policy in the indomitable spirit of patriotism.

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

They vowed to build all construction objects into monumental edifices symbolic of the great era of Kim Jong Un by giving full play to the spiritual strength of all the soldiers and waging an intensive campaign for making collective innovations and setting new standards and records at every construction site.

The soldier-builders launched into construction, full of enthusiasm to add glory to their noble appellation as pioneers of socialist civilization and creators of the people's happiness in the new worksites for the regional industry revolution.
