Kim Jong Un Visits Sindo County,North Phyongan Province

The respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance to Sindo
County, North Phyongan Province.

He inspected Field 14 of Reed Branch Farm 1 of the Sindo County Combined
Reed Farm visited by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong II.

He said that if the production of chemical fiber based on reed is to be
reenergized, it is necessary to spruce up Sindo County as befitting a large-scale
reed production base, put the reed cultivation on a scientific and modern basis so
as to increase the per-hectare yield of it and settle the reed transportation issue
in order to supply enough fiber materials to factories.

Noting that to turn the county into a reliable Juche-based chemical fiber
materials base and increase the reed production is an important work for further
strengthening the independence of the country's chemical industry, he said that
he would positively help it and called for raising good reeds to keep its
production going at the rate of the peak year and continuing to reap the rich
harvest in the future.

He set forth detailed tasks and ways for bringing about a fresh turn in the reed
cultivation.

He said that he would send high-powered tractors and other vehicles to the
county, and assigned the relevant sector to tasks to preferentially provide the
county with fuel oil, tyres and accessories for vehicles, learn about the conditions
of generating and pumping equipment and tugs and lighters and take steps to
maintain them and work out to provide new ones and help it in a responsible
manner.

Then he toured the mechanized workteam of Reed Branch Farm 1.

He called for using farm machines and implements with care and taking good
care of them in a responsible way and repairing and maintaining them in time and

making effective use of them by enhancing the responsibility and role of the
users and thus positively mechanizing all the farming processes.

After learning in detail about the conditions of Sindo County as a whole, the
Supreme Leader advanced highly important tasks facing the county.

Saying that it is important for the remote island to lay a reliable supply service
foundation for it, he underlined the need to increase the grain production and
reenergize the stockbreeding and fishing bases so as to turn the county into the
one with mighty means of living that can produce and supply all things necessary
for its economic life independently.

Stressing the need to build up the county people's hospital on a modern basis
like a big one in a city in order to cure patients by itself, he said that the hospital
should be provided with complete sets of medical equipment to perform most
operations.

It is also needed to spruce up primary and middle schools in the county and
remarkably improve the educational environment and conditions so that the
inhabitants in the island can lead a highly civilized life like those in a city, he said,
making sure that the powerful building force of the People's Army is mobilized to
rebuild the people's hospital and schools in the county into model and standard
units in the public health and educational fields. And he on the spot took
measures to provide the necessary materials.

Working heart and soul to provide the inhabitants in the island county with more
convenient and civilized living conditions, he promised to send buses and other
vehicles in consideration of their traffic conditions.

Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Han Kwang Sang, Kim Song Nam, Jo
Yong Won, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of
Korea, and Kim Chang Son, department director of the State Affairs Commission.
