According to the data compiled by the Regional Development 20×10 Non-Permanent Ministry of National Defence Guidance Command, the exterior plastering work of the newly rising regional industry factories has been completely finished, and the interior wall plastering and interior floor artificial stone plastering work are being pushed forward in earnest.

At the construction sites of hospitals and comprehensive service centers as well, the work by various processes such as interior partition wall construction and interior floor plastering is progressing according to the set plan, and a firm prospect has been opened to unfailingly finish all projects within the time set by the Party.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said as follows:

“It is the proud tradition and fighting spirit of our army and people to rise up like a mountain at the Party's orders and instructions and carry them through to the end regardless of water or fire.”

The respected General Secretary, who gave field guidance to the Rakwon County regional development policy projects construction last July, clarified the important tasks for the completion of construction, including the issue of thoroughly observing the requirements of construction methods in the finishing work and strengthening the supervision work.

Upholding the teachings of the respected General Secretary, the Ministry of National Defence Guidance Command is further perfecting the quality inspection system for the structures and meticulously carrying out the work to raise the responsibility and role of the supervisory officials at the construction units, while strictly reviewing the daily construction achievements with quality assurance put at the forefront.

The officers and men of the Korean People's Army 124th Regiment dispatched to Kangnam County are accelerating the construction of regional industry factories and hospitals, holding fast to the quality of construction as the basis.

The commanders of the unit are selecting model units by process and meaningfully carrying out demonstration work so that each sub-unit can set a clear direction for improving the quality of construction prior to the organization of work. Along with this, they are properly conducting group skill evaluations for training skilled workers in line with the actual conditions, and after organizing the finishing work force with highly skilled soldiers, they are also substantially doing the work to generalize their experience.

In the regiments, even the commanders themselves are devouring construction knowledge books, mastering construction methods and putting them into practice. At the same time, they are making strong demands on the soldier-builders to strictly observe the construction standards and regulations by process, thus advancing all projects at a high qualitative level.

In the Korean People's Army 124th Regiments dispatched to the Sinuiju Greenhouse Complex area and Sonchon County as well, operation and command are being innovatively organized and conducted to consistently make the whole course of construction a quality improvement process, setting the quality assurance of the structures as an important policy demand in keeping with the soaring enthusiasm of the soldier-builders.

The quality improvement storm to raise the structures that rise as the people's wealth into creations of lasting value that will be flawless even in the distant future is also sweeping fiercely at the construction sites of comprehensive service centers in various places where the exterior plastering work has reached the final stage.

In the People's Army units participating in the construction of comprehensive service centers in Taean District and Kangnam County, they are closely calculating the forces against the construction tasks and concentrating efforts on the central link, while also prospectively equipping the tools and equipment needed for the finishing work, thereby raising both the speed and quality of construction.

The soldier-builders of the units at all levels dispatched to the construction sites of comprehensive service centers in various cities and counties are also making devoted efforts to raise the quality of the structures, scientifically calculating not only the sand and cement going into the mixture but even the amount of water, and using mixtures whose qualitative indices are precisely guaranteed.

This stirring reality unfolding on the struggle fronts for the realization of our Party's long-cherished desire clearly shows the height of loyalty and patriotism of the soldier-builders who are repaying the great trust of the great Party Central Committee, which has entrusted the huge grand construction battlefield unfolded for the people entirely to the People's Army, with miraculous construction successes.

The Assets of Revival Are Proving Effective Day by Day

The Variety of Products of New Regional Industry Factories Increases Significantly Nationwide, Actively Contributing to the Improvement of Residents' Livelihood

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said as follows:

“We must develop regional industry across the country and open a new era in which the regions change and develop by themselves.”

As the Party's intention to powerfully promote the development of regional industry and leap forward the basic material and cultural living standards of the regional people on a nationwide scale in the shortest possible time is unfolding as a brilliant reality, the variety of products in the new regional industry factories across the country has increased significantly compared to the early days of operation, actively contributing to the improvement of the residents' livelihood.

According to a comprehensive analysis of the production situation of city and county foodstuff factories in various parts of the country, the variety of foodstuffs has increased by more than double on average.

The Jaeryong County Foodstuff Factory, which had over 60 production indicators at the time of completion, is now producing various tasty and nutritious foodstuffs reaching over 130 varieties. Since the beginning of this year, the factory has been producing dozens more products including fruit carbonated soft drinks, bread and yoghurt, and because the prices are low and the quality is high, all the residents prefer and enjoy them. Not only this factory, but the city and county foodstuff factories in various places are also expanding their successes in the work to further increase the variety of products and contributing to the improvement of the dietary life of the regional residents.

The clothing factories and daily necessities factories everywhere are also accelerating the development of new products and upholding the Party's intention to provide the regional people with an affluent and civilized life. According to a summary of the production situation of the city and county clothing factories and daily necessities factories, the variety of clothing products has increased by nearly 12 times on average, and the variety of daily necessities has increased by more than 6 times on average.

The Unsan County Clothing Factory is accurately grasping the tastes and preferences of the residents and producing various clothes accordingly. Dozens of new products including men's and women's shirts, one-piece dresses and two-piece suits are widely acclaimed among the county people, and the number of orders is increasing every day.

The Sukchon County Clothing Factory is also actively pushing forward the development of new products and is currently producing over 100 varieties of clothing products. In particular, various types of workwear bearing the “Phungnyonsae” trademark are made conveniently for agricultural work, so all the agricultural workers in the county gladly wear them.

The Hamju County Daily Necessities Factory has significantly increased the variety of its products compared to when it started operation, contributing to the development of the county and the improvement of the residents' livelihood. The various plastic pipes and finishing building materials now produced at the factory are being actively used in rural dwelling house construction, and various daily necessities such as laundry soap, powdered soap, toilet soap, plastic containers and household goods are becoming indispensable necessities in the life of the county residents.

The regional industry factories that rose in the second year of the regional industry revolution, though less than a year since they started operation, are actively accepting the successes and experiences of the factories that rose in the first year and are steadily accelerating the development of new products.

The Sinyang County Foodstuff Factory has increased the variety of foodstuffs from the initial 20-odd varieties to over 120 varieties using the wild berries abundant in its locality. This amounts to reaching the production level of the foodstuff factories that rose in the first year of the implementation of the regional development policy in a little over half a year since the factory's completion. The county residents say about the fact that the variety of new products is increasing day by day that in the era when the regions are changing, their own mountain county is also increasing its proud assets, and that the time when they only looked longingly at the central products has now become a thing of the past.

The Yomju County Clothing Factory has also increased the variety of its products to dozens compared to the early days of production, including suits, skirts and jackets, coats and sportswear. The factory's products have become well-known not only in the county but also in the provincial seat for their high quality and good conformity to the tastes of the customers.

The Sinpho City Daily Necessities Factory, which is occupying a proud place as an indispensable production unit in the life of the regional residents, has also produced numerous products unique to its locality in just a few months after its completion. The plastic containers produced at the factory are greatly helping the normalization of production at the offshore aquaculture works that plays a big role in the economic development and the improvement of the people's livelihood of the city, and the various quality laundry soaps are also well received by the residents.

Receiving the various products produced at the modernly-built regional industry factories, the people are respectfully expressing their boundless gratitude to the motherly Party which ceaselessly devotes its love and care so that anyone born on this land can equally enjoy an affluent and civilized life whether they live in the capital or in the provinces, in cities or in mountain villages.

From the design stage, deep attention was paid to ensuring that each building reflects the ideas, policies and aesthetic views of our Party and embodies the features of the present era. And it is intensifying the Party guidance and policy guidance to splendidly and perfectly build even a single structure as a symbol of the era that can be proud before the descendants.
