He commanded a bird's-eye view of the terminal from his plane.

Saying that the Pyongyang International Airport was well built in a neat way, he set forth the tasks for completely renewing its area in harmony with the modernly-built terminal.

He stressed that the vicinity of the airport, including the areas of Sunan District and Thaekam Farm, should be renovated as befitting the gateway to the capital city of Pyongyang, under the Party's general plan for development of the airport area, and high-speed railway and motorway from the airport to the central city should be built to ensure the traffic in a smooth way.

After getting down through a corridor-style boarding bridge of the terminal, he went round the newly-built terminal.

He was very satisfied to see the terminal well built in harmony with modern aesthetic taste and national character.

He noted with pleasure that the gatepost of the airport was erected in such way as to sustain the national character and the front and back of the terminal are very nice.

Going round departure waiting lounge, departure procedure hall, arrival procedure hall, arrival entrance hall, service hall, a room for special guests and other places of the terminal, he learned in detail about their construction and preparations for their operation.

Recalling that leader Kim Jong Il instructed to build well the Pyongyang International Airport several times till the last moments of his life, Kim Jong Un said this instruction was implemented at last. I feel deep remorse at the failure to show Kim Jong Il this wonderful terminal, he said, adding:

The leader would have been very glad to hear that the airport was built wonderfully like this by our own efforts. His smiling image is vivid before my eyes.

Kim Jong Un gave his thanks on behalf of the Party Central Committee to the soldier-builders, officials of commissions, ministries and national institutions and working people who built the terminal as a model edifice in the Songun era to be proud of before the world.

Stressing the need to ensure the management and operation of the terminal in a good manner, he specified the tasks and ways for having a splendid ceremony for its inauguration on July 1 and starting the aviation service.

He ardently called for building many edifices symbolic of the thriving and highly-civilized country by whipping up the creative zeal for the Korean speed exerted in the construction of the terminal and thus significantly adorning the venue of the grand October festival.

Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Pak Pong Ju, Kim Yang Gon, Ri Jae Il, Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Yo Jong and Jo Yong Won.
