Comrades!
Dear people in Songchon County!
How do you do?
Today a historic ground-breaking ceremony with the greatest desire and ambition of our Party to implement the "Regional Development 20×10 Policy" is being held here in Songchon County, a typical intermediate, mountainous area in our country.
This signals the start of the great struggle for our Party’s ten-year goal for bringing about comprehensive regional rejuvenation.
At this moment when we are making a vigorous step forward towards a grand transformation, a revolution in the regional industry, I picture in my mind’s eye the future of regions that would be transformed year after year.
As I do so, I feel the dignity and pride in the forthcoming struggle redoubled, and I am greatly moved by the thought that the people in all cities and counties in provinces, numbering more than ten million, will be provided with substantial benefits in their living.
On the other hand, to be frank, I feel remorseful for the fact that we are starting this revolution only now.
But, though this is a gathering held on an empty place with only an artist’s impression unfolded, it will proclaim the beginning of an important revolutionary undertaking aimed at promoting the well-being of the regional people, and this amply proves the historic weight of the undertaking.
Commanders and soldiers of the 124th regiments under the services and corps at all levels of our army, who will play a vanguard role in implementing the "Regional Development 20×10 Policy"!
Members of the non-permanent central promotion committee, officials of ministries, national agencies and other relevant units who are charged with the responsibility for leading and promoting transformation of regions!
All officials and working people from Songchon and other counties in South Phyongan Province who have come here with absolute support to and trust in our Party’s new policy!
On behalf of the Party Central Committee and the government of the Republic, I extend hearty militant greetings to you.
Comrades!
It is indeed a revolution of great significance to build wonderful regional-industry factories with modern equipment and production lines in all cities and counties of the country in the coming ten years.
It was thought to be an inevitable and natural reality for too long that regions lag behind the capital city, but our Party, which regards it as a principle in its activities to pay constant and equal attention to the living
of all the people throughout the country and actively solve the problems arising in their living, set removing the centuries-old concept as a historic task it should bravely shoulder however challenging it is.
Proceeding from this, the Eighth Central Committee of the Party set strengthening cities and counties and improving the rural living environment as an important line for the development of the state, and tried to find a way of opening a new era of comprehensive development, in which the capital city and regions would develop together.
And recently, it put forward the "Regional Development 20×10 Policy" that focuses on the comprehensive modernization of regional-industry factories which must be conducted without fail even by directing unprecedented efforts, and today the first ground breaking ceremony for achieving a brilliant result of the policy has convened.
Comrade Kim Jong Un emphasized the urgent national priority of providing a completely new and advanced foundation for the local economy on a nationwide scale.
This includes lifting the basic material and cultural standards of the local people, who constitute the absolute majority of the population of the Republic.
He emphasized that whether born in the capital, rural areas, urban centers, or mountain villages, everyone in this land must enjoy a rich and civilized life under the socialist policies of the same nation.
He highlighted this as the core of the new regional development policy, ensuring that it becomes a reality.
The new policy for the development of local industries reflects the urgent demands and interests of all the people, and its implementation strategies are clearly outlined.
This has brought joy and a warm welcome from everyone, especially the local population, who accept it as their own and are optimistic that it will come to fruition.
Comrade Kim Jong Un, particularly since the beginning of the year 2024, has provided a comprehensive overview of the historical challenge of executing the local development policy,
and faced many challenges, undertaken sincere research, and engaged in repeated and careful discussions regarding the implementation of this significant task.
Comrade Kim Jong Un not only ensured that the state guarantees all the funds, efforts, and materials necessary for the construction of local industrial factories in cities and counties but also appropriately addressed various issues, including transportation.
In addition to this, he stated that during the process of reevaluation based on the experiences and current realities in Kimwha County, new issues have been identified, and preventive measures for potential problems have been proposed.
Just yesterday, I went over and ratified a general report on the list of regional-industry factories to be built in 20 cities and counties this year as well as on their scales, sites and production lines.
Comrade Kim Jong Un said all the necessary funds for constructing dozens of local industrial factories in 20 cities and counties within this year are budgeted and that all preparations are in perfect order.
Not only the People's Army officers and soldiers and construction officials present at this event but also all officials, Party members, and workers nationwide are standing up with one sentiment, one will.
To carry out the local industrial revolution, the central and local governments, provinces, cities and counties will join forces, and builders and scientific and technological experts will actively participate.
Confident that they will achieve the same successful results as they have done in various other places, he continued as follows:
Comrades!
The fact that the people's army, which is the greatest defender, creator and implementer of our socialist country, has taken on this difficult and honorable revolutionary task is another important factor in ensuring its victory.
At this time, too, our Party has put our army at the forefront of the ten-year revolution for shoring up the regional economy.
I feel grateful and reassured to see the militant appearance and soaring spirit of the officers and men of the 124th regiments who went immediately to the areas assigned to them in hearty response to the appeal
of the Party Central Committee and have launched into the revolutionary work which would accelerate the new transformation of regions and comprehensive rejuvenation of our state.
Comrade Kim Jong Un said that every time a serious and urgent task arises before the revolution, the Party and the people have great faith in the armed forces.
He said that it is a glorious tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation that the people's army will always faithfully respond to the trust and expectations of the people.
He addressed in detail the fundamental issues that must be strictly adhered to by the soldiers of the People's Army who have moved into local industrial factory construction sites across the country.
Comrade Kim Jong Un said that all army officers and soldiers should be aware that they are the creators of change in a new era, and should build local industrial factories to the highest quality standards.
May this place, starting with Songchon County, become a lasting symbol of our era, succeeding through generations to receive admiration from posterity, not only in this county but also in cities and counties nationwide, he said.
He said that he believes that the 20 flags that will be awarded today to the commanders of the 124th Regiment will shine with patriotic achievements that cannot be compared to the most revolutionary, popular and glorious achievements of our armed forces, and passionately inspired and encouraged them.
Comrade Kim Jong Un said that those directly responsible for the revolutionary project for realizing the "Regional Development 20x10 Policy" are none other than the Party and administrative economic officials of cities and counties.
In the process of implementing the new local development policy, efforts will be made to strengthen the functions and roles of the local Party and government institutions, ensuring that it becomes a process of achieving the Three Revolutions – ideological, technological, and cultural, he said.
He stressed the importance of paying special attention and taking thorough measures to ensure that projects that improve the lives of the people in the region do not have negative consequences that impose burden on them.
Comrades!
At the end of this year, we will witness a new transformation in the 20 cities and counties across the country, including here in Songchon County, where modern regional-industry factories, the first fruits of the Regional Development 20×10 Policy, will have been built.
And ten years later solid foundations for regional rejuvenation, a long-cherished desire, will have been laid so that we can feel worthwhile to see the production bases running at full throttle and hear the people’s happy laughter resounding across the country.
Herein lies the boundless reward and honour of our revolutionary work and struggle.
The sacred and great undertaking, which we conducted merely with words for decades and which we did not dare to go at, has really begun now.
For an era of great transformation, in which we will develop the regional economy rapidly in our own way while renovating rural communities!
Towards an era, in which we build the most wonderful factories for the people on our own land by our own hands and in which we create the people’s happiness to the full with our own resources and technology, confidence and vigour!
Today commanding officers of the large combined units at all levels, under which 124th regiments have been organized, and commanders of all these regiments are present here.
I appeal to our army through you, comrades.
People’s Army soldiers!
Always fight bravely in the vanguard of the struggle to create and defend the people’s happiness and to realize our Party’s long-cherished desire!
The Party, the country and the people believe in you, our army!
The officers and soldiers who have turned out in this gigantic struggle today, will be remembered for ever as the most steel-strong fighters representing a great era.
Let us make selfless and devoted efforts for the good of our great people!
Forward for our sacred struggle!
The sublime dedication to the people's well-being, aiming to provide the highest civilization and the most blissful life to the beloved people, and the great expectations for the military personnel who have taken the lead in the monumental local industrial revolution, exude warmth and fervor with every phrase.
All participants who listened to the speech of our beloved Comrade Secretary were deeply moved, immersed in boundless excitement, and raised enthusiastic cheers.
Comrade Kim Jong Un personally handed over the regimental colors to the 124th regiments of the KPA, which were newly formed to implement the "Regional Development 20×10 Policy".
Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great expectations and confidence that our reliable soldiers, as they have always been, will faithfully carry out the sacred mission bestowed by the Party and the revolution.
Through the display of unique courage and dedication, they will engrave immortal miracles in the history of our homeland under the sacred red flag raised by the Party Central Committee.
All the soldier-builders, who received the banner of advance associated with the deepest trust of the Party Central Committee which entrusted the grand construction project to the People's Army,
made a firm pledge to fully display the brave mettle of the Korean People's Army in the sacred struggle for glorifying the great era of Kim Jong Un for changes and thus preserve its noble name as creator and defender of the people's happiness.
Comrade Kim Jong Un took the first shovel for construction in commemoration of the ground-breaking.
Amid the boundless reverence and excitement of all the participants, Comrade Kim Jong Un pressed the detonator, and the explosive sound resounded to herald the start of the historic regional-industry revolution.
Comrade Kim Jong Un had a significant photo session with the military and political commanding officers of the construction regiments who are filled with the firm determination to vigorously lead the responsible and honorable grand construction struggle for carrying into practice the Party's crucial decision, regarding it as the supreme order and absolute truth.
With great excitement, all participants embraced the happiness-filled tomorrow brought about by the realization of the "Regional Development 20x10 Policy" announced by the Party Central Committee.
All participants expressed infinite gratitude and utmost respect, looking up to the great leader and compassionate father who will powerfully guide our beloved country to the summit of a civilized and prosperous socialist nation with awe-inspiring miracles and great leaps, shortening the timeline.
The ground-breaking for the construction of regional-industry factories in Songchon County, which declared before the whole world the start of the grand ten-year revolution for realizing the centuries-old desire of regional people as soon as possible by accelerating the simultaneous and balanced development of the regional economy,
will be brilliantly recorded in the history of the country as a significant occasion that gave the firm confidence in the rosy future to the ranks of general march vigorously opening up a new phase of national rejuvenation in unity based on patriotism.
