He once again appreciated the shining exploits performed by the party members and other working people of the factory, noting that they are the pacesetters who proved the advantages of the drive for placing processes on the Korean-style CNC basis by improving the production system as required by this drive in hearty response to the Party's slogan "Push back the frontiers of latest science and technology!"

Noting that the quality of products at the factory is very high, he called for learning from the creative spirit of the officials, workers and technicians of the factory who placed the production processes on a scientific, precision and high speed basis by concentrating efforts on the technological transformation and are making a steady advance towards the eminence of ultra-modern technology and science.

He said that science and technology are a source of enormous material wealth and the master key to turn the country into an invincible power and a true land of bliss for the people at an early date.

Making the rounds of cultural and welfare facilities, he was pleased that the factory has provided its workers with good living conditions.

He set forth the important tasks which would serve as guidelines for the management and production of the factory.

At the end of his field guidance, he enjoyed a performance given by an itinerant art squad of the factory at the house of culture. He praised it for its enthusiastic art agitation.
