Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Choe Thae Bok, O Su Yong, Ri Jae Il, Jo Yong Won and Kim Yo Jong.

The construction of the Pyongyang City Home for the Aged was proposed by Kim Jong Un, who said it should be a social trait, a habit of the whole country forming a big family, to look after those persons who are to be put under public care. And he solved all matters arising in the construction, from designing to supply of materials.

He recalled with deep emotion that President Kim Il Sung, together with leader Kim Jong Il, visited an old people's home in Mandal-ri, Sungho County in May 1948 when he was busy paving an untrodden path for nation-building and showed deep care for the inmates' living conditions, including quilts and bowls, saying that the state would take warm care of the aged.

Under the paternal love of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il the "DPRK Law on the Protection for the Aged" was adopted in the country and the Central Committee of the Federation for the Care of the Elderly of Korea organized and the Party and the state have wholly taken charge of aged people's health and life, he noted.

He said that to build the home for the aged well is a very important work in correctly implementing the Workers' Party of Korea's policy for the care of the elderly and fully displaying its validity and vitality.

Going round different parts of the home under construction, he learned in detail about its building operation and gave important instructions for the construction.

It is the constant demand of our Party to firmly preserve the Juche character and national identity in construction, he said, stressing that the exterior and interior of the home should be laid out to sustain the national character and emit the strong national flavor.

He added that a work should be organized meticulously to provide furniture and utensils needed for operation of the home and produce good uniforms for its employees.

The home is in an excellent location the Party valued, he said, stressing the need to build it into another model edifice in the era of the Workers' Party, an embodiment of the Party's love for the people.

The Pyongyang City Home for the Aged should be built as a prototype equipped with all conditions for its inmates to lead a happy life free from any cares and worries so that such homes can be constructed in localities with it as a model, he said.

He expressed belief that the soldier-builders would successfully complete the construction of the home by late June, true to the intention of the Party Central Committee, and thus honorably enter the venue of significant grand festival celebrating the 70th anniversaries of founding of the WPK and national liberation.
