This proud reality adding more pride to the era of great changes through epochal successes is a precious fruition of the noble people-first idea of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who set it as a historic task to be boldly assumed and certainly implemented by our Party to provide all the people across the country with the happiest life and has pushed forward it through powerful leadership practice.

The speaker warmly congratulated the county people on receiving the modern hospital and light-industrial factories on the same day and at the same time in 2025, the first year of the public health revolution in the new era and the second year of implementing the Regional Development 20×10 Policy.

He extended warm thanks to the commanding officers and soldiers of the regional construction regiment of the 3rd Corps for having perfectly completed the projects for the regional construction policy as desired by the Party, true to the inherent duty of the Korean People's Army always faithful to the call of the country and the people.

The fruits of the efforts for transformation which have sprung up in all parts of the country, including its northern and southern ends and inland and coastal areas, are full of impressive stories telling people what the aim of our regional revolution is and where the strength of the nonstop advance lies in, he said, referring to the great painstaking efforts and devoted leadership of Kim Jong Un who dedicated himself to carrying out the construction plan broader and deeper than last year.

He stressed that our growing ideal and self-confidence and the dynamic progress of the regional revolution are the true picture of socialist Korea displayed by the seasoned and strong leadership of Kim Jong Un, who possesses the transparent revolutionary outlook that the Party policy is the will, demand and interests of the people and regards the ardent patriotic will and the absolute standard that the people leading a happy life means national power as the supreme principle of all his revolutionary activities.

True to the long-cherished desire of the Party Central Committee to make the regional people lead a happy life as soon as possible, we should simultaneously build more structures, including modern light-industrial factories, hospitals and leisure complexes, in 20 cities and counties next year than this year and should make greater progress and a leap forward in their qualitative aspect, he said, calling upon all the officials to regard Kim Jong Un's policy on regional construction, which they kept in mind again in this inauguration season, as absolute standard, and to fulfill their responsibility and duty in creation and construction for the promotion of the people's wellbeing.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance at Major Munitions Industry Enterprise

Pyongyang, December 30 (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 a major munitions industry enterprise on Dec. 28 to learn about the production of weapons and combat equipment.

He was accompanied by Jo Chun Ryong, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, No Kwang Chol, minister of National Defence of the DPRK, Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director of the C.C., WPK, Jang Chang Ha, general director of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, and officials concerned of the munitions industry department of the C.C., WPK.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un learned about the production of multiple rocket launchers to be equipped by major units of the Korean People's Army according to the decision of the Central Military Commission of the WPK.

He repeatedly praised the firm revolutionary attitude of the workers of the enterprise who are waging a labor struggle to attain the goal of producing the multiple rocket system set by the Party while increasing production every day in high spirits.

Stressing once again the importance of the weapon system being produced by the enterprise, he encouraged the workers in their production campaign.

He said that the multiple rocket system, which will be the main strike means of the KPA, would completely change the composition of our artillery force and that the enterprise plays a pivotal role in implementing the Party's military strategic policy on modernizing and reinforcing long-range artillery pieces. And he expressed satisfaction, saying that the weapon system, which will be used in large quantities for concentrated attack in military operations, is a super-powerful weapon system as it can annihilate the enemy through sudden precise strike with high accuracy and devastating power and can also be used as a strategic attack means. It is really laudable success that we are producing with our own efforts and technology the world's only operational and tactical weapon system with the greatest military effect at will to meet the demand, he added.

He also referred to the prospective modernization project of the enterprise.

He said that we should bring about a revolution in upgrading the artillery weapon system and, to this end, it is necessary to further perfect the production structure of the enterprise in particular and improve the technical foundations of processes so as to equip the enterprise with strong production capacity and thus fully guarantee the successful attainment of the munitions production goals, to be set forth at the Ninth Congress of the WPK, on a material and technical basis.

He stressed the need for the overall munitions industry field as well as the enterprise to constantly push ahead with the establishment of advanced industrial structure, steady expansion of production capacity and innovative technological upgrading capable of producing more weapons and combat equipment in conformity with the development-oriented requirements of the defence science and industry of the present era and the goal of modernizing our army and its demand.

He ardently called for further expanding the successes achieved this year and achieving greater successes through strenuous efforts in the struggle for bolstering up the defence capabilities in 2026.

His field guidance on the day serves as a new milestone of great importance in increasing the country's war deterrent in a practical way.

 

Illustrious Commander Ushers in Golden Age in Strengthening Revolutionary Armed Forces

Pyongyang, December 30 (KCNA) -- On December 30, 2011, the Workers' Party of Korea and the people of the DPRK held in high esteem the respected Comrade         Kim Jong Un as the supreme commander of the armed forces of the DPRK.

Along with this significant day, the nature and character of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK have been firmly preserved, a decisive guarantee has been provided for carrying forward the ever-victorious history and traditions and the DPRK has been able to demonstrate its dignity and might as the strongest military power.

Kim Jong Un has developed the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK into the elite ranks with his faith that the military muscle precisely means the national power and that the prosperity of the country and happiness of the people lie in bolstering up the military muscle in every way.

The ideas and theories on army building advanced by Kim Jong Un including the idea of thoroughly establishing the Party’s monolithic command system across the entire army and invariably preserving the revolutionary nature of the people’s army served as the important guidelines for ushering in a golden age in strengthening the military muscle.

Kim Jong Un convened grand meetings of the entire army and led them to be a milestone in further strengthening the might of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK. He has made field inspections to train the People's Army into a matchless army.

He inspected the biggest hotspot on a small wooden boat, saying that he should go to any place where soldiers serve, however dangerous it may be.

Thanks to the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Un, who stressed the soldiers' mission, duty and feats at training grounds and trenches and led soldiers to spend their days of service with training, the People's Army could be prepared as a-match-for-a-hundred revolutionary army.

Shortly ago, Kim Jong Un guided the work to build a nuclear-powered strategic-guided missile submarine on the spot. Thanks to his devoted efforts for bolstering up the national defence capabilities, the DPRK could rapidly emerge as a strongest military power with the powerful national defence capabilities.

Watching with admiration the entities of the national defence capabilities at the military hardware exhibition Defence Development-2025, the people hardened their conviction that only victory is in store for the country as it is led by Kim Jong Un who is ushering in a golden age in bolstering up the revolutionary armed forces.
