He visited the Nampho Glass Bottle Factory, the Ryongaksan Spring Water Factory, foodstuff factories in Sariwon City and many other industrial establishments in January alone despite the bitterest cold in the last more than six decades.

In December last year, too, he provided field guidance to light industrial establishments and catering centers in the capital city of Pyongyang and at least 30 units in Hamhung, Musan, Hoeryong, Chongjin and others across the country.

When seeing a product, he, to begin with, asked officials if people liked it. He also asked in detail if it would be substantially helpful to people's living.

He is busy with his forced march for devoted service, making the people centre of all his thinking and activities. This is ushering in an era of prosperity in which all their ideals are becoming realities on this land.

It was thanks to his dynamic leadership that last year witnessed such great events as the mass-production of vinalon and Juche-based fertilizers, the appearance of vast young orchards and the Specialist Restaurant under the Okryu Restaurant.

He is, indeed, the great leader and the father of the people, who unfolded a grandiose plan to enable the Korean people to enjoy greater happiness and is translating it into reality.
