Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defense Commission of the DPRK gave field guidance to the newly built shops at the Ryongsong Foodstuff Factory in South Pyong-ang Province, according to the KCNA on December 15, 2005.

Two new shops producing beer and processed milk had started production. After hearing explanations about the shops, he went round their production processes to acquaint himself in detail with their construction and production.

After making the rounds of the structures built in the best quality and the production processes equipped with the latest facilities, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the builders had successfully constructed the modern foodstuff production base with total dedication to the people. Seeing a variety of products coming out in an endless stream, he was pleased with the fact that it would become possible for the shops to supply more quality foodstuffs to the people. He set forth tasks to be fulfilled to manage and operate the shops, saying that as the modern foodstuff shops had been built, it was necessary to keep the production going at a high rate.

It is imperative to pay primary attention to the control of equipment and technical management as the shops are furnished with ultra-modern equipment, he said, stressing that to this end, efforts should be directed to the work of raising the level of the technical skill of the producers and, at the same time, that research into this field should be intensified and advanced technology be actively introduced.

In order to ensure the hygienic security of foodstuffs, it is necessary to widely introduce the processing method based on up-to-dated technology and keep the interior and the exterior of the factory neat and tidy to sterilize the production site, he noted.

Packing and trademarks are very important in foodstuff production, too, he said, underlining the need to improve the quality of packing and, at the same time, design trademarks well to suit the characteristics of consumers.

He also underlined the need for the factory to properly work out a management strategy, a business strategy on the principle of profitability and effectively realize the modernization and scientification of the production processes on a phased basis and thus systematically lower the norm of raw materials consumption per unit of goods to supply greater quantities of low cost quality foodstuffs to the people.

He was accompanied by Kim Kuk Thae and Kim Ki Nam, secretaries of the Central Committee of the WPK, Ri Jae Il, first vice department director of the WPK Central Committee, and Generals of the Korean People’s Army Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.

He also gave field guidance to a newly built dock, Dock No. 2, at the Ryongnam Ship Repair Factory, the KCNA reported on December 13.

Dock No. 2 is a modern computerized large dock capable of repairing several ships of tens of thousands of tons simultaneously. Its repair processes have been furnished with advanced equipment and put on an automation and IT basis to markedly shorten the period of ship repair and improve its quality, while saving a lot of manpower.

In hearty response to the instruction given by Kim Jong Il to build Dock No. 2 to increase the ship repairing capacity, the officials, workers and technicians of the Ministry of Land and Marine Transport are waging a high-pitched drive to work such miracle as successfully completing the vast construction projects including a big dock, three wharves to handle and repair large cargo ships, a combined repair shop, an acetylene generating shop, an oxygen generating shop, a heavy oil-fired power plant, a wind-power station and a solar power station of peculiar style, houses for hundreds of families and cultural and welfare establishments in a matter of four years by their own efforts.

The reconstructed and expanded Ryongnam Ship Repair Factory is of weighty importance in developing the nation’s marine transport, he said, setting forth tasks to be fulfilled to manage and operate the factory.

Noting that the factory was located in a good place and had a good prospect of development, he underscored the need for it to have all processes necessary for the ship repair and actively introduce advanced technology in order to steadily boost the repair capacity.

The factory should undertake the job of repairing foreign cargo ships, too, in the future as it has a big capacity, he said, adding that to this end it should have sufficient facilities to serve foreign crew members.

He was greatly satisfied to learn that it has built a modern container terminal capable of handling cargo ships of tens of thousands of dead weight tons to increase the capacity of Nampho port to meet the growing demand for marine transport.

Nampho port is one of the important trading ports of the country, he noted, underlining the need to step up the modernization of the port and steadily boost the transport capacity.

The performance was jointly prepared by the prestigious art organizations of the army and organizations including the State Merited Chorus of the KPA, the Mansudae Art Troupe, the KPA Song and Dance Ensemble and the Phibada Opera Troupe, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the WPK. He expressed great satisfaction over the performance.
