There came an epoch-making success of concluding the construction of 50 000 flats in Pyongyang, which had powerfully been carried on as the top-priority task of the historic Eighth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea in the new era of the comprehensive national rejuvenation.

Apartment houses for nearly 60 000 families and public buildings epitomizing advanced civilization were built in Songsin, Songhwa and Hwasong areas alone to create new majestic and beautiful ideal streets for the people, showing the eye-opening development of the people-first architecture, and a modern urban administrative district was formed respectively. As a result, Pyongyang has been given a radical face-lift as befitting the capital city of socialist Korea in a matter of five years.

With the overfulfilment of the five-year plan for capital city construction, the WPK came to surely keep the promise it made to the people in the name of the dignified Party Congress. Through the struggle of past five years, textbook experience and a new standard of Juche-oriented architecture have been obtained and established to dynamically guide the construction work on a nationwide scale that will be more widely conducted in the period of the Ninth Central Committee of the WPK.

This eye-opening reality symbolizing the great era of changes is another precious fruition of the far-reaching plan and wise leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un, who set it as an honourable revolutionary task to turn Pyongyang into a world-class city where all desires of the people have come true and has energetically guided the whole course of grand construction from the significant first groundbreaking. It is also an immortal great victory of the Party's idea of “The people are God”.

An inauguration ceremony of 10 000 flats at the fourth stage in the Hwasong area to conclude the five-year plan for monumental capital city construction was held with splendour on February 16, the auspicious holiday of the DPRK.

The venue of the inauguration ceremony was filled with the infinite pride of the capital city builders, who provided the biggest labour gift to the Ninth WPK Congress by perfectly building grand architectural groups that add brilliance to the great era of Kim Jong Un under the flag of the headquarters for building 50 000 flats in Pyongyang given by the Party Central Committee, and with deep emotion and joy of Pyongyang citizens witnessing the dazzling golden age of Pyongyang with excitement.

Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, attended the inauguration ceremony.

When he arrived, all the participants burst into stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" looking up to the great master of creation and outstanding leader of the revolution who is steadily ushering in a heyday of comprehensive development of socialism where the people's dreams and ideals come true.

Present at the ceremony were members of the central leadership of the Party, including senior officials of Party, government and armed forces organs, officials of ministries and national agencies, working people who would live in the new street, military and civilian builders, youth and students and other Pyongyang citizens.
