They are near to an auspicious event for moving into new houses.

Respected Comrade 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, inspected the completed new modern residential quarters in Thongchon County of Kangwon Province on November 11.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction, enjoying a bird's-eye view of the modern residential quarters in the township of Thongchon County wonderfully built in a little over two months.

He appreciated that the appearance of new residential quarters in good harmony with different types of low- and multi-story dwelling houses shows another valuable achievement made at a time when the regional construction is being expanded and intensified across the country.

Noting that the internal structure of houses was regarded as of great importance to further promote the convenience of residents and their external shapes are diverse and peculiar, he said that the requirement of the Party's policy on maintaining the principle of modernity, culture, innovation and diversity in regional construction has been correctly met.

In order to make the implementation of our Party's policy on regional development and the rural housing construction steadily lead to successful outcomes amid the active support of all the people across the country, it is an important requirement for the construction sector to consider the work for implementing the Party's plan and decisions in a scientific and economic way and correctly carry them out, he said, adding: The figure of growth symbolic of regional change is important for us, but deeper attention should be paid to the material and cultural well-being and the level of civilization of the regional people being more qualitatively improved and efflorescing every year.

The work to eliminate the differences between town and countryside and definitely ensure the environment for simultaneous, multiple and balanced development in the country is put into practice and proved through construction, the main sphere of our revolution, Comrade Kim Jong Un said, adding that the attitude toward our Party's construction policy on attaching importance to the three elements of design, construction work and building materials is just a touchstone for estimating the viewpoint on the future of the revolution.

He pointed out that the importance of the position and role of the construction sector in helping the people feel the changing times and new thriving life in practice is being stressed whenever an opportunity presents itself, but various evils still appear in regional construction.

Noting that despite several warnings about the fact that the design and construction control sectors failed to guarantee the implementation of the Party's construction policy with innovative insight and responsible practice in particular, they have not yet been awakened and freed from the old approach, failing to eradicate unscientific formalism and unrealistic stylish manner in regional construction including the rural housing construction, he analyzed the causes in various aspects.
