DPRK people frustrate imperialist moves to stifle country-Kim.

PYONGYANG, August 5 (Itar-Tass) - North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il has visited the construction site of a new major hydroelectric power station on the Kumya River during a long inspection visit to the Hamgyong-Namdo province.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) informed
on Thursday that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Secretary General of the
Korean Workers' Party (KWP) and Chairman of the State Defence Committee
(SDC) familiarised himself in detail with various facilities of the
hydropower plant that is being built jointly by military and civilian
constructors.
According to KCNA, General Secretary Kim Jong Il provided field
guidance to the construction site of the Kumyagang Army-People Power
Station nearing completion.
He was accompanied by Kwak Pom Gi, chief secretary of the South
Hamgyong Provincial Committee of the WPK, Jang Song Thaek, vice-chairman
of the NDC of the DPRK and department director of the WPK Central
Committee, Kim Ki Nam, secretary of the C.C., the WPK, and Hong Sok Hyong
and Thae Jong Su, department directors of the C.C., the WPK, and Hyon Chol
Hae and Ri Myong Su, department directors of the NDC.
The appearance of a vast man-made lake as a result of the building of
a gigantic dam in the upper reaches of the River Kumya made it possible
not only to produce a large volume of electricity but to sufficiently
water a large area of farmland and protect the Kumya Plain from flood
damage.
After being briefed on the construction of the power station before a
huge map showing its panoramic view, he went round various places of the
power station nearing completion to learn in detail about the progress
made in the project.
The soldiers and civilian builders have successfully completed the
construction of a large-scale power station, a huge nature-transforming
project, on their own by working hard under difficult conditions, he said,
adding that this astonishing miracle amounts to a striking demonstration
of the might of the unbreakable unity between the army and people in the
DPRK who have formed a harmonious whole with the Party and the leader and
the tremendous potential of the independent national economy and one more
great victory won by the Korean people in the struggle to courageously
frustrate the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and
glorify Korean-style socialism centred on the popular masses, according to
KCNA.
Looking at paintings and works done by the soldier-builders and
members of a shock brigade, he heard a lot of stories about the beautiful
traits displayed among them in the course of construction.
Noting that a lot of monumental structures are now under construction
in different parts of the country to go down long in history along with
the era of Songun thanks to the devoted struggle of soldiers and people,
he stressed that this eye-opening change represents the great dynamism of
the country dashing ahead like the wind towards the peak of a great
prosperous and powerful nation.
He set forth tasks to be fulfilled to wind up the construction of the
power station earlier than scheduled, pointing out that the power station
is of great importance in realizing the nation's electrification.
In order to finish as quickly as possible the construction of the
power station progressing at the final phase it is necessary for such
relevant units as the Taean Heavy Machine Complex to preferentially supply
in good time custom-built equipment needed for the construction, he said,
KCNA reported.
It is quite possible to complete the remaining project as scheduled to
honour the promise made to the Party if the builders push forward the
construction in the "Huichon Speed," a new Chollima speed, he said,
underscoring the need to continue displaying the revolutionary soldier
spirit, the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance as required by the era
of a great revolutionary surge. He had a photo session with the builders
of the power station.
