The street stretches along the bank of the River Taedong from Mansu Hill where the statues of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il stand. There are in the street the People's Theatre, skyscrapers and multi-storied apartment houses and various welfare and service facilities. All of them were put on the basis of formative art and they are enclosed in a beautiful park.

The Mansudae area has all elements of architectural style and the layout of the street. Service personnel and other people of the DPRK successfully built this street in a matter of one year.

A ceremony for the completion of the street construction took place on Wednesday.

Present there were Kim Yong Nam, Choe Yong Rim, Choe Ryong Hae and other senior party, state and army officials and members of the Cabinet, officials in construction units, builders and Pyongyangites who are expected to move to new flats.

Read out at the ceremony was a joint congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK National Defence Commission to service personnel of the Korean People's Army, builders of the capital city, shock brigaders and helpers who performed shinning labor feats in building the street.

The message said that all the builders of Changjon Street who devoted all their energies and wisdom to the gigantic project for materializing the WPK's grandiose plan for capital construction are, indeed, standard-bearers in building a thriving nation, heroes in the era of Songun and genuine patriots.

It noted with high appreciation that all of them successfully implemented the behests of leader Kim Jong Il by dedicating all their wisdom and enthusiasm to the project with intense loyalty to their party and leader and strong sense of moral obligation.

DPRK Premier Choe Yong Rim, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., the Workers' Party of Korea, said in his address at the ceremony that the builders of Changjon Street completed the construction of modern buildings and thus put into practice leader Kim Jong Il and the dear respected Kim Jong Un's noble patriotism and high intention of their love for the people, adding that these heroic feats would go down in the country's history along with a thriving nation.

He also called upon the builders and officials to further glorify the heyday of Pyongyang in the era of Songun through their energetic effort to turn it into a more magnificent and fashionable world class city.

At the end of the ceremony, leading party, state and army officials looked round apartment houses in the street.
