(KPL/KCNA) There started another important undertaking for regional development to be specially recorded in the new era of great transformations, when the people-first ideal of the Workers’ Party of Korea is being comprehensively realized.

In December last year, Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) attended the inauguration ceremony of a modern country city in the Sinuiju area, whose looks had undergone a radical change after eradicating the aftermath of the severe flooding.

At the ceremony he declared a grand new construction plan for greater regional change and bestowed great favour of personally dispatching the construction workforce for the project.

Thanks to the warm sincerity of the dear father, who is unfolding a brighter future in the people’s cradle built on the road of his devoted efforts for the flood victims, a largest-ever modern greenhouse farm and a vegetable science research base will be built in Hadan-ri in Sinuiju, a gateway city in the country, and in Soho-ri in Uiju County, as structures, symbolic of the lively and bold progress in regional rejuvenation.

A groundbreaking ceremony of a 450-hectare greenhouse farm and vegetable science research centre took place with splendour on February 10.

Officers and men of the Navy and Air Force units of the Korean People’s Army and commanding officers and other members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade to be involved in the undertaking for the gigantic regional transformation lined up at the venue of the ceremony.

Kim Jong Un attended the ceremony.

When Kim Jong Un arrived at the venue, all the participants broke into enthusiastic cheers in reflection of their highest tribute to the benevolent father of the great socialist family, who has pioneered the unprecedented sacred revolution, called the comprehensive regional development, of successfully achieving the long-cherished desire of the people across the country, and is ushering in a new era of high civilization and prosperity shining with the people’s laughter and the promotion of their wellbeing.

Pak Thae Song and Jo Yong Won, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and other senior Party, government and military officials were present at the ceremony together with the builders.

Pak Thae Song, premier of the DPRK Cabinet, made the groundbreaking speech.

Noting that grand greenhouse farms on a modern, intensive and industrial footing have been built one after another in the era of transformations led by the great Party, and thereby a new path of improving the people’s living standards is being hewed out, the premier said that the edifices of the times built in different parts of the country are the crystallization of the ennobling desire and bold leadership activities of the Party that orients everything towards providing the people with a more affluent life and ushers in a golden age of construction, self-sustenance and self-respect unprecedented in history.

Construction of the greenhouse farm, the fourth of its kind in recent years, is an important state affair to be carried out thanks to the ennobling intentions of DPRK’s supreme leader Kim Jong Un to turn this island area, where only sandy dust floated by the strong river wind, into a socialist paradise where the people will lead a highly civilized and affluent life, he noted.

According to his plan and intentions, not only different types of vegetable greenhouses, vegetable processing factory and storages but also a vegetable science research centre, trial cultivation greenhouses, hundreds of flats, hostels and neighbourhood-serving amenities will be built simultaneously here in this area vaster than that of all the large-scale greenhouse farms built in recent years put together, he said.

If the large-scale greenhouse farm which will be put on a scientific and IT footing is built with the modern houses standing in rows showing the true picture of socialism on the shore of the Amnok River as the background, this island area will enjoy fame as a new model of regional development with its own strong potentials of development and as a brilliant symbol of prosperity in our era, he stressed.
