A
trial operation of the newly manufactured subway train was conducted with Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the
Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission
and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, on board.
He
arrived at Kaeson Station of the Pyongyang Metro where the trial operation was
to be conducted at 22:30 on Thursday.
Going
round the station, he said he missed President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim
Jong Il that day more than ever before, adding that the Pyongyang Metro was
a precious treasure of the nation and a grand monumental structure as it was
associated with the loving care shown by them for the people all their lives to
provide the people with conditions for a more bountiful and civilized life.
He
noted how happy they would have been to see the subway train made by our
workers, scientists and technicians run.
He
shuttled from Kaeson Station to Thongil, Sungri, Ponghwa and Yonggwang stations
by the subway train to learn in detail about its trial operation.
The
performance of the subway train is very good, he said, adding that its speed is
satisfactory and brake works flawlessly.
The
subway train looks fashionable and fittings and operation information
appliances also meet the modern requirements, he said. He noted that people
would like very well traveling by the subway train made by Koreans with the
indigenous technology.
Our
heroic and resourceful Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's working class,
scientists and technicians boundlessly faithful to the Party proved in
practice, not with words, that the words "proclivity to import"
should be eliminated from people's minds through the successful trial
operation, he stressed, adding that this encouraged him more than anything
else.
He
had a photo session with officials, scientists and technicians of the Kim Jong
Thae Electric Locomotive Complex and the relevant field who participated in the
trial operation.
He
set forth important tasks to be fulfilled to better spruce up the Pyongyang
Metro to meet the requirements of a highly civilized socialist nation and put
the metro management and operation on a higher modern and IT basis.
He
was accompanied by Pak Pong Ju, Kim Yang Gon, O Su Yong, Jo Yong Won and Han
Kwang Sang.
