The completion of the dam provided a decisive guarantee for completing the Huichon Power Station by 2012.

General Secretary Kim Jong Il visited the construction site of the Huichon Power Station on his way home after the historic China visit and expressed great satisfaction over the successful construction of an edifice by the soldier builders which will go down forever in the history of building a thriving nation.

In front of the map showing the panoramic view of the station, the visitors were briefed on the fact that Kim Jong Il entrusted the building the Ryongrim Dam to the People's Army and visited the steep construction site to put forward Korean-style method of construction and show warm loving care for the soldier builders and deeply grasped the fact that the wise leadership, great trust and loving care shown by the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu serve as the source of miracles. The visitors looked round the dam.

Looking round the literary and art works and wood engravings created by the solider builders, they keenly felt that as long as there are the soldiers of the People's Army, the hurrah of victory will resound in every worksite of the grand drive to build a thriving nation.
