In the DPRK any construction project is completed in the year of its groundbreaking. At this new speed of construction a large number of projects were carried out. They are the regional-industry factories built in Songchon County in ten months as the first entities in the drive to implement the regional development policy, the Sinpho City Offshore Farm erected in several months as a model base for offshore farming in the new century, Ragwonpho transformed into an ideal fishermen’s village in a little more than 190 days, modern Kangdong County Hospital completed in about 280 days, among others.
It was only two years ago when the Korean people heard the phrase Regional Development 20×10 Policy for the first time. Witnessing foodstuff, garment and daily necessities factories as well as hospitals and leisure complexes erected in their regions in less than a year, they are now convinced that the Workers’ Party of Korea is firmly determined to make regional change represent the country’s progress and development and the ideal appearance of regions the true image of Korean-style socialism in the coming ten years.
Now groundbreaking soon accompanied by inauguration has become a byword for DPRK’s speed.
While inspecting the completed Ragwon County Offshore Farm and fishermen’s village in August last year, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that the speed of great creation which was displayed in transforming the once most backward county in the country into a place with strong economic foundations in a little more than half a year would be specially recorded in the country’s history of the regional industrial revolution in the new era and its growth and development, and that when the country advances at such an amazing speed, our state will before long greet a great nationwide transformation and this will serve as a powerful driving force for hastening the complete victory of socialism.
From early this year several groundbreaking ceremonies signalling the start of the regional construction for 2026 have taken place in South Hwanghae Province’s Unnyul County, South Phyongan Province’s Phyongwon County, Pyongyang Municipality’s Kangnam County and other parts of the country.
This is the third year in the implementation of the regional development policy. This year modern light industry factories together with advanced healthcare facilities and multifunctional leisure complexes that have successfully passed through the experimental stage last year in different parts of the country will be simultaneously built in 20 cities and counties.
The local people are all eager to live long and work harder in their splendid factories and ever-changing native places, as they see a growing number of creations of new civilization reaching them, especially their life, faster thanks to the incessantly expanding and deepening regional development policy.
