Inauguration Ceremony of Regional-industry Factories in Jaeryong
County Held
Pyongyang, January 8 (KCNA) --
Regional-industry factories in Jaeryong County of the DPRK were inaugurated,
significantly decorating the outset of 2025, a year of great turn in raising
the comprehensive development of socialism onto a higher stage, true to the
ideas and spirit of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central
Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The inauguration of modern
regional-industry factories built in Jaeryong Namuri Plain, a granary in the
western area of the country, presenting a wonderful reality of regional
rejuvenation, is a powerful proof of the unshakable will and executive ability
of the great Party Central Committee that launched the historic cause for
realizing the long-cherished desire of the regional people and keeps the
promise with the people without fail, and a great inspiring event predicting
dynamic progress and miraculous successes.
An inauguration ceremony of the regional-industry
factories in Jaeryong County for the Regional Development 20×10 Policy took
place on January 7.
The venue of the ceremony was full of
the great pride of the soldier-builders who have wonderfully built the
regional-industry factories into precious entities of our Party’s
people-first politics and crystallization of their pure conscience as servants
of the people in the steadfast spirit of defending the Party’s policies
and through their devoted efforts as well as the great excitement and joy of
the people in Jaeryong County who will enjoy a new civilization, a new life, to
their heart's content under the care of the Party.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un
attended the ceremony.
When Kim Jong Un arrived at the
venue of the ceremony, all the participants raised enthusiastic cheers,
extending the greatest glory and respect to the outstanding leader and great
father who opened up a new era in which the whole country develops all at once,
provided a springboard of dynamic advance and upswing of our state and is
leading the sacred cause for changes in the vanguard with his outstanding
ideology and theory and unexcelled leadership ability.
Present at the ceremony were Pak Thae
Song, premier of the Cabinet of the DPRK, and other senior officials of the
Party and the government, service personnel involved in the construction
project, officials and employees of the regional-industry factories, officials
and working people in South Hwanghae Province and Jaeryong County.
Ju Chang Il, director of the Information
and Publicity Department of the WPK Central Committee, made an inaugural
address.
The speaker said that he could not
suppress a surging emotion before feeling pleased to greet the significant New
Year with the inauguration of such modern regional-industry factories, adding
that it is a great revolution which can be made only by Kim Jong Un that
the comprehensive development of regions, which had been an ideal for nearly 80
years, was adopted as the most important political task of the Party and the
state and that its brilliant entities sprang up in the year of its adoption.
He continued:
When anyone looks round the
regional-industry factories to which modernity, civilization and profitability
are applied, they will gain a deep knowledge of the great painstaking efforts
that Kim Jong Un has made to bring about transformations that will
actually reach the regional people and will be welcomed by them, and will be
convinced of the future of the regional changes to be brought about on a larger
scale under his great leadership.
Today’s grand inauguration is a
proud success of the regional-industry revolution and, at the same time, a
springboard for a new struggle and a cornerstone for greater, higher and more
dynamic progress. This important event welcomed by all people across the
country should surely be followed by perfect results every year regardless of
conditions.
Saying that the great cause of regional
rejuvenation shouldered by the Party is a science, practice and victory, he
called for working harder and more vigorously to brilliantly carry out the
Party's policy on regional development and bring earlier the future of a rich
and civilized, prosperous and powerful country with redoubled confidence and
courage.
Kim Jong Un
cut the inauguration tape.
Enthusiastic cheers were raised by the
participants in the venue of the ceremony, where a historic event took place
recording another brilliant page in the history of regional development in the new
era, as a reflection of their ardent reverence for and absolute trust in the
great Party Central Committee.
All the participants extended grateful
thanks to the benevolent leader of the people, who has set it as his lifelong
mission and the most important work of the Party and the state to promote the
people's happiness and well-being and unfolds socialist paradises, in which all
the people would enjoy happiness, and comprehensive efflorescence of national
rejuvenation.
Kim Jong Un
went round the factories.
Noting that the inauguration ceremonies
for the regional-industry factories take place one after another in 20 cities
and counties including Songchon and Jaeryong counties as a fruition of sincere
efforts rendered for the people last year, he said:
This is an auspicious event of the whole
country that gives great pleasure to the people who have started the worthwhile
journey in the new year. As I see all the people of the region full of
excitement and joy today, I feel greater pride and dignity in waging the
revolution and struggle, and it makes my determination firmer to identify what
should be done more for the people and shoulder their implementation.
Going over the trial products, he set
forth principles and ways to be consistently adhered to in the operation of the
regional-industry factories and their production, and discussed with the
leading officials accompanying him a series of measures to be taken by the
Party and the government for leading and powerfully supporting the regional
industry in a sustained way in order to guarantee its long-term development.
He repeatedly stressed the need for the
Party and government organs in cities and counties to always pay close
attention to providing conditions necessary for normalizing production at the
regional-industry factories, including providing raw materials and training
skilled workers, and unconditionally ensure the provision of the conditions so
that the new regional development policy of our Party can make a substantial
contribution to promoting the material well-being of the inhabitants in the
relevant regions.
He affirmed that he would make this year
a year of another upsurge in regional construction by setting a higher standard
as a goal on the basis of last year's successes and ensuring the economic
profitability, effectiveness and prospectiveness to the maximum.
The inauguration ceremony of the
regional-industry factories in Jaeryong County held in the presence of Kim
Jong Un served as a significant occasion, which instilled confidence in
sure victory and optimism into the people across the country, who have turned
out as one in the drive to open up a new avenue for prosperity according to the
viewpoint on development and in the spirit of creation of the Korean style and
greet the Ninth Congress of the Party as a glorious congress of victors.
DPRK Missile Administration Succeeds in Test-fire of New-type
Intermediate-range Hypersonic Ballistic Missile
Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- The
Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
successfully conducted a test-fire of new-type intermediate-range hypersonic
ballistic missile on January 6.
Full General Jang Chang Ha, general
director of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, and leading officials of
the defence science institute guided the test-fire on the spot.
Kim Jong Un,
general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State
Affairs of the DPRK, oversaw the test-fire through a monitoring system.
The test of the new strategic weapon
system is part of the plans for the development of the national defence
capabilities to raise the durability and effectiveness of the strategic
deterrent against the potential enemies in conformity with the changing
regional security environment.
A new composite carbon fiber material
was used in the manufacture of the engine body of the missile and a new
comprehensive and effective method based on the already-accumulated
technologies introduced in the flight and guidance control system.
Expressing great satisfaction over the
result of the test-fire, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, with regard
to the new weapon system, said:
The current test-fire proved without
doubt that we are steadily upgrading the powerful new-type weapon systems like
the intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile to cope with different
security threats posed by the hostile forces against our state at present.
A few countries in the world might
possess such a weapon system.
Just like the intended purpose of all
military powers, the development of the new-type hypersonic missile is aimed
mainly at steadily putting the country’s nuclear war deterrent on an
advanced basis by placing the means of changing the war situation, a weapon
system to which no one can respond, at the core axis of our strategic deterrence.
This is clearly a plan and effort for
self-defence, not an offensive plan and action.
As shown by the result of today’s
test-fire, the effectiveness of the missile system that fully meets the
expected military specifications has been confirmed.
The performance of our latest
intermediate-range hypersonic missile system cannot be ignored worldwide, and
the system can deal a serious military strike to a rival by effectively
breaking any of its dense defensive barriers.
Through the current test of the
strategic weapon, we fully demonstrated the potentiality and development speed
of our inexhaustible self-defensive technical forces capable of fully coping
with even the prospective threats and clearly showed the enemies what we are
doing and that we are fully ready to use any means to defend our legitimate
interests.
The hypersonic missile system will
reliably contain any enemies in the Pacific region that can affect the security
of our state.
We have acquired a technical force which
is by no means easy to achieve.
This is a remarkable achievement and a
special event in strengthening the self-defensive capabilities, which we should
be proud of.
I express thanks to all the researchers
and technicians and the workers of munitions industry enterprise, who
contributed to the successful development of the new-type strategic weapon
system.
The hypersonic glide vehicle of the
missile, fired northeastward at a launch site in a suburb of Pyongyang, made a
flight along the scheduled trajectory, attaining its first peak height of 99.8
kilometres and the second peak height of 42.5 kilometres at the speed amounting
to twelve times of the speed of sound, and accurately landed on the simulated
target waters in the open sea 1 500 kilometres away.
The test-fire had no negative impact on
the security of the neighbouring countries.
The development of the defence
capabilities of the DPRK aiming to be a military power will be further
accelerated.
First-Term Winter Camping Begins at Songdowon Int'l Children's
Camp in DPRK
Pyongyang, January 10 (KCNA) -- The
first-term winter camping of schoolchildren started with due ceremony at the
Songdowon International Children's Camp in the DPRK.
Present at the ceremony, held on Jan. 9,
were Paek Song Guk, chief secretary of the Kangwon Provincial Committee of the
Workers' Party of Korea, Mun Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the
Socialist Patriotic Youth League, Ju Mun Jin, chairman of the Kangwon
Provincial People's Committee, officials concerned, officials and teaching staff
of the camp and campers.
The participants in the ceremony laid a
floral basket and bouquets before the statues of the great Generalissimos Kim
Il Sung and Kim Jong Il at the camp and paid tribute to them.
The sound of a bugle heralding the start
of camping was resounded. Then the campers responded to the slogan "Let us
be always ready for the socialist country!"
They made a schoolchildren's salute,
vowing to prepare themselves to be true sons and daughters of the socialist
country who are knowledgeable, virtuous and healthy and reserves for the
building of communism, bearing in mind the love and trust of the respected
fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un.
A report and speeches were made at the
ceremony.
