The leadership of the great father, who always works with devotion through creative thinking to provide our people with the most civilized and happiest life, gave birth to another legendary tale of love in the Wonsan Kalma area, which is turning into a wonderful cultural tourist resort for the people.
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 over the construction of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area on July 16.
Accompanying him were Kim Tok Hun, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK and premier of the Cabinet, and Jo Yong Won, Ri Il Hwan, Kim Jae Ryong, Pak Thae Song and other secretaries of the Central Committee of the WPK, Pak Jong Gun, vice-premier of the Cabinet and chairman of the State Planning Commission, major commanding officers of the armed forces organs, officials concerned of the Central Committee of the WPK, Kangwon Province and the design sector.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un initiated the construction of a characteristic and modern coastal tourist city of Korean style, of which we can be proud in the eyes of the world, and visited the construction site several times to indicate the orientation and ways for the successful development project and has guided the whole course of the project step by step. Thanks to his ceaseless devotion and wise leadership, magnificent and grand scenery is unfolding as a paradise of people in Myongsasimni, a scenic spot along the East Sea of Korea.
All the builders have turned out in high spirits with a firm determination to successfully complete the construction of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area and fully demonstrate the validity of the people-first politics of the WPK. They are performing fresh miraculous feats day after day, true to Kim Jong Un’s noble intention to make devoted service for the well-being of the people, so as to attain without fail the construction goal set forth by the Party Central Committee.
Feasting his eyes on the panoramic view of the vast tourist area stretching along a 4km coastline, Kim Jong Un, with a broad smile on his face, said that it was really beautiful and spectacular and he felt refreshed both in mind and body as he saw the scenery peculiar to the picturesque coastal area, and repeatedly expressed great satisfaction at the fact that it had taken on an impeccable appearance as a world-level coastal tourist city as planned.
He highly praised the builders for bringing about collective innovations in ensuring both the speed and quality of construction with a death-defying spirit, true to the Party Central Committee’s plan to build the tourist resort as a monumental edifice of eternal value for the people.
He stressed the need to further expand the successes, not slackening the high spirit, as the project had entered its final stage, calling on the commanding officials to make a more exacting demand, the builders to display redoubled efforts and the construction inspection organs to enhance their sense of responsibility and role to the maximum.
He held a consultative meeting with officials accompanying him on the spot to discuss the practical matters for making full preparations for the operation of the tourist area according to a well-thought-out plan as the 19th Enlarged Meeting of the Political Bureau of the Eighth Central Committee of the Party had decided to open the coastal tourist area by next May.
Stressing the importance of making good preparations for the operation of the tourist area, he said it is important to build a wonderful resort but the key issue is to ensure perfect services appropriate to its class. However fashionable its facilities are, it will lower its value as a tourist resort if the level of their services is low, he added.
Noting that the capacity of the services and its feasibility should be scientifically examined to properly select service units, he called for making preparations for operation on a full scale from now on. And he specified the orientation for doing so and took a series of important measures.
The meeting discussed all the issues arising in the preparations for ensuring smooth operation of the tourist area, including those of ensuring the parking space as suited to the capacity of the tourist area, building an amusement park and a leisure activity area, building up the capacity for garbage and sewage treatment and training experts for all the categories of services.
Wonsan is a coastal city of natural and geographical beauty, and, in particular, Myongsasimni at the Kalma peninsula has long been known as a famous scenic spot, he said, adding that a marine park of national value to be known to the world as the best tourist resort of the country would be successfully built and Myongsasimni will win the fame as a pride of Wonsan and a 4km-long stretch of beach crowded with the people in the near future.
Stressing that tourism should be developed in a long-term manner on the basis of the experience gained in the construction of the coastal tourist area, he said that as our country is surrounded by sea on its eastern and western sides and has many scenic spots on its eastern coast, including Mt Kumgang, Mt Chilbo, Majon, Kumya, Riwon and Yombunjin, it is needed to steadily implement the policy of concentrating on making rational use of the abundant coastal resources of tourism. And he called for taking long-term steps to exploit in a unique manner the resources of coastal tourism for sports, leisure activities and marine sightseeing.
After receiving the important instructions of Kim Jong Un that clearly indicated the path for a new development in the country’s tourism and advanced guidelines and ways for achieving comprehensive rejuvenation of Korean-style socialism and providing the people with a happier life, all the officials renewed their faith that the plans and determinations of the Party Central Committee are an immutable science and truth, and made a firm pledge to fulfil their responsibility and duty in the important and worthwhile struggle for creating improved civilization for the people, remaining faithful to his leadership.
