He went round the room which houses revolutionary relics.

Looking at historic relics and data with keen attention, he recollected with deep emotion the proud road covered by the institute.

He said that looking at the diary of the leadership provided by President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il to the designing institute alone, one can know well about the construction history of our country, adding that their immortal exploits performed in leading construction would shine long as an eternal treasure for building a rich and powerful country.

He underlined the need for the institute to arrange well the room for the education in the revolutionary history and help its officials, designers and architects deeply grasp the leadership feats of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Going round various designing rooms, he indicated tasks to be fulfilled by the institute.

It is the firm determination of the party to create a new history of construction in Songun Korea, he noted, instructing the institute to play a pioneer's role in the drive to develop the present heyday in construction into a period of great prosperity.

In order to successfully carry out any task assigned by the party, it is important for the designing personnel to aim high and have ambitious pluck to make architectural designs to be impeccable even in the distant future, he noted.

He stressed that in order to decisively raise the level of scientization in designing as required by the new century it is necessary to put designing methods on a scientific basis and modernize designing means.

Underling the need to spruce up the interior and exterior of the institute as befitting an organ producing designs for a highly civilized nation, he took measures for doing so.

He was accompanied by KPA Vice-Marshal Choe Ryong Hae, director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, KPA General Jang Jong Nam, minister of the People's Armed Forces, and Hwang Pyong So, vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK.
