Kim Jong Un Inspects Chongjin Shipyard

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to the
Chongjin Shipyard.

He went round the room for education in the revolutionary history at the
shipyard. He said that its officials and workers should create new miracles
and innovations in shipbuilding and glorify the undying leadership exploits
of our Party by carrying forward the baton of loyalty and self-reliance
recorded in the proud development course of the shipyard with great pride
and honor of working at the glorious workplace visited by President
Kim Il Sung 12 times and by leader Kim Jong Il 6 times.

He learnt in detail about the overall situation of the shipyard, going round
the anchor chains workshop inspected by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and
other production processes and shipbuilding site.

After acquainting himself with the structure and tactical and technical
specifications of a newly built warship and its weapons and equipment, he
boarded the warship on a trial navigation. He praised the workers of the
shipyard for having successfully built the warship with excellent mobility
and firepower capability to strengthen the navy by fully displaying the
revolutionary spirit of self-reliance.

The Chongjin Shipyard is able to build various ships better in the future as
it has a history of shipbuilding and high technology, he said, indicating
detailed tasks to further modernize the shipbuilding process.

Noting with firm belief in the workers of the Chongjin Shipyard, he
decided to entrust it with the building of a newly planned modern cargo-
passenger ship, he said that the shipyard can easily carry out this task as it

had already experienced building the ship Mangyongbong-92. The shipyard
should launch and conduct the work in a bold and revolutionary way and, in
this course, further develop its shipbuilding technology and put the
production processes on a scientific and modern basis of higher level and
thus take the lead in bringing about a great leap in the development of the
country's shipbuilding industry, he added.

He expressed belief that the officials and workers of the Chongjin
Shipyard would perform shining feats in the struggle to attain the new goal
set forth by the Party and creditably live up to the expectation of the
Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the C.C., WPK.
