DPRK Premier Inspects Various Sectors in North and South Hamgyong Provinces Pyongyang, May 20 (KCNA) -- Pak Thae Song, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and premier of the DPRK Cabinet, inspected various sectors in North and South Hamgyong provinces of the DPRK. At the Ryongsong Machine Complex, he called on the officials, technicians and workers to perfectly complete the modernization project planned this year with a redoubled sense of responsibility and efforts, and to steadily strengthen the sci-tech force so as to properly process materials and successfully ensure the quality of the products in the production of custom-built equipment. At the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex and the February 8 Vinalon Complex, he stressed the need to put the production of fertilizer and basic chemical products on a normal basis by taking proper measures for supplying raw materials and fuel. He also underlined the need to step up the construction of a base of producing slow effective fertilizer, and to further intensify the research on the fields of the application of melamine resin, which plays an important role in the development of the chemical industry, and thus to make a substantial contribution to agricultural production and the improvement of the people's standard of living. Learning about the first-stage construction of the Tanchon Power Station, the premier called for accelerating full preparations for its inauguration, including the test run of electricity-generating equipment, and for paying deep attention to ensuring the working and living conditions of the builders. At the Sangnong Mine, he underscored the need to give definite precedence to the capital tunneling and reinforce the transport system in order to mine more ore. And he also stressed that the smelting process should be further perfected. At the Hamhung Wheat Processing Factory, he said that it should expand its wheat-processing capacity so as to provide the regional-industry factories with quality wheat flour. Going round the refractory shop and other places of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, the premier emphasized the need to improve the performance of the furnace by taking technical measures to decisively improve the quality of fireproof materials, and he stressed the importance of increasing the operation rate of equipment in order to unconditionally attain the goal of iron and steel production set forth by the Party. At the Musan Mining Complex, he called on it to push ahead with the work to expand the capacity of the production of concentrated iron ore, including big blasting, in a planned way, and to accelerate the growth in production of the big base of the metallurgical industry by utilizing the existing production foundations. The field consultative meetings underlined the need for officials to thoroughly establish the working style of pushing ahead with the development of their units with science and technology as a lifeline, and discussed the issue of scrupulously organizing alternated production and lowering the standard of electricity consumption.
Biodiversity Protection Brisk in DPRK Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- May 22 is the International Day for Biological Diversity. As a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the DPRK is striving to protect and make sustainable use of biodiversity. It has planned medium- and long-term projects for biodiversity protection and conducted activities based on them. Through the national medium- and long-term green plans, it is working out and implementing the work for rationally combining biodiversity protection with sustainable economic development. As scientific research into comprehensive harmful insect extermination technology has been intensified and national measures were taken, the work for preserving ecological environment and ensuring agricultural development and clean urban environment are being stepped up. Meanwhile, it has pushed ahead with the work to regularly identify and conserve the species of animals and plants and their inhabitation conditions. On the basis of confirming the priority regions of biodiversity, it has set up sanctuaries in the regions with rich biodiversity and selected rational ecological channels connecting major sanctuaries, thus actively conserving the species of animals and plants in the country. It scientifically evaluates and analyzes the effects of gigantic nature-remaking project, including forest restoration and tideland reclamation, on biodiversity and takes sci-tech measures for its protection. The seasonal and annual number of water-birds is being comprehensively estimated in wetlands and major migratory bird reserves on the east and west coasts of the DPRK. Relevant scientific research units are pushing ahead with the work to update the lists of species and endangered species, thus laying a scientific foundation for protecting the biological resources of the country.
