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, gave field guidance at the construction site of the Ragwon County Offshore Farm on July 13.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Jo Yong Won, Kim Jae Ryong and other leading officials of the Central Committee of the WPK.

He was greeted on the spot by the commanding officers of the units of the Korean People’s Army involved in the construction project and officials of design institutions.

Construction of the Ragwon County Offshore Farm has been powerfully pushed forward and entered the final stage according to the regional development policy and plan and direct guidance of the WPK to radically develop offshore farming, which conforms to the natural and geographical features of the country and proved its profitability and prospects, and thus expand and strengthen the economic independence of coastal cities and counties in a sustained way.

Kim Jong Un heard about the progress of the project in detail.

He highly appreciated the efforts of the soldier-builders, who are glorifying every day and month with labour feats through successive offensive, devoting their all to the worthwhile creative struggle for bringing about the future changes in every coastal city and county, true to the decisions of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK.

He made the rounds of the construction site of the offshore farm.

He said that many things have changed beyond recognition in just some months since the construction of the farm started in February, adding that the current practical changes, not in words or letters, fully and visually show the ambitious plan, steadfast will and executive ability of our Party that is determined to powerfully promote regional development.

Saying that construction of the modern offshore farms directly planned and pushed forward by the Party Central Committee is an innovative field of creation to reliably guarantee the effective rejuvenation and long-term development of more than 60 coastal cities and counties across the country, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the important project to give a fresh impetus to the implementation of the regional development policy, which is getting expanded day by day, is being perfectly pushed forward.

He appreciated that the builders have pushed ahead with the project on a high level in good harmony with the environment of the coastal area, while further applying improved modernity, advanced character and originality, not confining themselves to following the past experience, and continued:
