It further highlights the truthfulness and vitality of the regional development policy of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Regional-industry factories newly built according to the Regional Development 20×10 Policy were inaugurated with a splendid ceremony in Jangyon County on December 18.

The venue for the inauguration ceremony was filled with boundless gratitude for and absolute trust in Comrade Kim Jong Un who opened up a bright prospect for building an ideal socialist society, where all the people across the country enjoy a new richer, happier and highly civilized life, and is translating it into present reality with persistent efforts.

When he arrived at the venue, all the participants broke into stormy cheers of "Hurrah!"

They extended the highest respect to the outstanding leader of the revolution and the benevolent father of the people, who is adorning every year on this land with gigantic changes as he works day and night with burning love for and devotion to the people.

Ri Il Hwan, secretary of the WPK Central Committee, addressed the ceremony.

The speaker said that the auspicious inauguration season brilliantly adorning the year 2025, throughout which an era of regional transformation has been opened up dynamically, also came to Jangyon County and warmly congratulated all the people in the county on holding in the presence of Kim Jong Un a significant ceremony of inaugurating the new light industry factories assuring them of their hometown's happy future.

He also extended thanks to the soldier-builders and officials, workers, scientists and technicians in the relevant sectors who added a new page of fresh transformation to the sacred history of regional development through an indomitable offensive struggle.

Saying that the strong current of the great era is rapidly transforming the whole country, he noted that modern hospitals, leisure complexes and other entities of transformation that can match those in the capital city are being erected in cities and counties of the regions and that this reality represents an eye-opening change brought about by the noble intention and tireless efforts of Kim Jong Un to give fuller play to the advantages of their state system guided by the people-first principle in the actual life of the people through thoroughgoing and substantial implementation of the regional development strategy.

Recalling that Kim Jong Un indicated the concrete orientation, tasks and methodologies for successfully carrying out the gigantic revolutionary undertaking to eliminate the centuries-old backwardness of the regions and realize the cherished desire of the regional people and has made sure that the yearly construction processes become leaps forward to a higher stage, the speaker said that under his outstanding leadership, the regions accounting for one-tenth of the country came to have solid foundations for independent development last year and those making up one-fifth this year already.

New structures, including a modern hospital and leisure complex, will also be built in Jangyon County in the future as part of the efforts for implementing the regional development policy expanding year by year, he said, adding that the county should carefully manage the assets of civilization provided by the new era, push ahead with the undertakings for the development of the area on the basis of them and thus make more significant progress in improving the living standards of the county people.

He ardently called for waging a more dynamic struggle for the steady implementation of the regional development policy and for the future of the country which will be highly civilized and rejuvenated by remaining loyal to the ideology and leadership of Kim Jong Un.

Kim Jong Un cut the inaugural tape.

At the venue of the inauguration ceremony, where an impressive sight to be eternally recorded in the history of the country along with the new era of regional development unfolded, fireworks of celebration went off and a large number of balloons went up to beautifully decorate the sky over the county.

All the participants raised enthusiastic cheers, so excited by the great honour of celebrating with splendour the day of inauguration in the presence of Kim Jong Un whom they had longed to see even in dreams.

A sweet child presented a bouquet of fragrant flowers to him in reflection of the county people’s unanimous reverence for him.

He met some working people participating in the ceremony and shook hands with them one by one, warmly wishing the local people a happy future.

He went round the regional-industry factories.

While undergoing the process of significant change in the second-year struggle for bringing about a radical transformation in the regions and improving the living standards of the people across the country, we further hardened the belief that when we strenuously explore the path toward development and prosperity in our own way and make courageous efforts under the uplifted banner of self-reliance, there will be no unachievable ideal and a socialist paradise can be surely built on this land, he said, and continued:

It is the cherished desire of our Party and the main goal of its regional development policy to turn all cities and counties of the country into self-sufficient and well-off areas by firmly consolidating the foundations for regional development and radically improving the material and cultural living standards of the local people.

Tasting products of the county foodstuff factory, including wheat paste and sauce, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the factory attaches great importance to the quality of products.

It is really spectacular to see the regional foodstuff factory producing beer with the local brand through an advanced beer production line, he praised, saying that it is the correct implementation of the Party policies and the further development of them to increase the indices of production conducive to improving the material life of the residents in the county with raw materials abundant in the area and turn out excellent products.

The taste and quality of products depend on the sincerity and skills of their producers, he said, referring to the need to draw up the guidelines on the detailed quality indices and standard operation for every process, ranging from the sorting of raw materials to the shipment of products, and establishing a system of strictly observing them. At the same time, it is necessary to organize a brisk competition for developing new products and improving quality among the newly-built regional-industry factories in order to create and promote the atmosphere of advancing and developing all together, he noted.

Saying that it is noticeable that progress has been made in a different fashion this year, as compared to last year, in terms of architectural design, technical aspects of construction and indices of products, he noted that if we make strenuous efforts to attain the far-reaching ideal and high goal, the vitality of the regional development policy will increase with each passing year. And he assigned a series of important tasks to be tackled in building regional-industry factories next year and promoting the independence of provinces, cities and counties.

Highly appreciating the steadfast patriotic loyalty of all officers and men of the 124th regiments at different levels of the Korean People's Army, he expressed expectation and belief that they would perfectly carry out the further expanded projects for implementing the regional development policy on the basis of the potentials and experience they gained through the construction projects of last year and this year.

He earnestly asked the officials of Jangyon County and employees of the regional-industry factories to keep the production going at a high rate, mindful that to make the county people well-off is just the way to repay the benevolence of the Party.

Seeing the county residents being delighted with various kinds of condiments, confectionery, daily necessities and clothes bearing the local brands, the leading officials more keenly realized that Kim Jong Un's every devoted effort leads to the happiness of people and the bright future of the prospering country.

The successive inauguration of regional-industry factories, the precious fruition of the people-first politics of the great WPK, is strongly encouraging the people across the country going all out in the patriotic advance for creation toward the glorious Party Congress with firm confidence in their cause and ideal.
