Kim Jong Un Visits Machine

Factory of Ranam Coal-mining Machine Complex

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to the
September 1 Machine Factory under the Ranam Coal-mining Machine
Complex.

He acquainted himself with the production of the factory, going round the
room for education in the revolutionary history, sci-tech learning space,
machine assembling ground and other places of the factory.

Praising its workers for having conducted fierce offensive to build
modern buildings for production and life and spruced up the inside and
outside of the factory, he stressed the need to continuously push ahead
with technical updating of production processes and equipment as well as
regular management of production buildings.

Going round workplaces busy with production of machines and ordered
equipment, he stated that the officials, workers and technicians of the
factory should intensify the creative cooperation and the mass
technological innovation movement to increase the production capacity and
realize the modernization and automation of machines at a high level.

It is necessary to bring science and technology close to production and
work out a plan in a bold and big way and stubbornly carry it into practice
at the factory and thus further consolidate its material and technical
foundations so as to produce machines requiring high technology, he said.

The sci-tech learning space should be arranged better and study-while-
working habit thoroughly established at the factory so that all its
employees can master machine equipment and fully arm themselves with
the modern science and technology to radically increase the quality of
machines, he noted.

He said that the factory should pay attention to improving the supply
service for employees and providing them with good material and cultural
living conditions to bring about a great upsurge in production.

Saying that the factory's duty and role are very important, he set forth the
tasks and ways for developing the factory into a leading machine producer.

He had a picture taken with the officials and workers of the factory,
expressing the belief that they would bring about a fresh leap in the
production of high-efficiency and modern machines of various kinds
urgently needed for different fields of the national economy and make
positive contributions to the development of the machine-building industry
of the country.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and
Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea, and Ri Hi Yong, chairman of the North Hamgyong
Provincial Committee of the WPK.
