He went round the room for the education in the revolutionary history.

He said that the plant splendidly arranged the room for the education in the revolutionary history which houses with due respect photos of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il on the principle of visual effect and displayed well historic data and relics.

Noting that the history of the plant represents the one of the leadership of the President and Kim Jong Il, he stressed the need for its workers to boost the production of modern heavy machines and equipment urgently required by various fields of the national economy through the meticulous organization of the education in their leadership exploits and thus thoroughly implement their behests.

He acquainted himself with the progress made in the development of new type machine products instructed by him during his field guidance to the plant last year.

Greatly pleased to see ultra-modern machine products standing in rows, he said that it was spectacular scenery. He highly praised the plant, noting it deserves the title of hero as it unconditionally carried out any task set forth by the WPK.

He looked round the sheet metal processing shop, the steel casting shop, assembling shop and other places of the plant to learn in detail about its production.

Saying that the plant has a very important role to perform in developing the machine-building industry and building a thriving nation, he set forth tasks to be fulfilled by the plant in the production and the management activities.

He underlined the need to update the plant to meet the requirements of the age of knowledge-based economy and a highly civilized socialist nation in order to sharply increase its production capacity and further improve the quality of products and gave precious instructions for carrying out those tasks.

He underscored the need to successfully build a sci-tech dissemination center and manage it effectively to help the officials and employees of the plant acquire modern science and technology as increase in production and the improvement of quality of products are guaranteed by science and technology. He also called for directing great efforts to training them as intellectuals by putting them under study-while-working educational system.

He said that the party itself would take charge of building the sci-tech dissemination center and cultural center of the plant and complete the projects within this year.
