He set forth tasks and ways to turn the farm into the world's leading orchard and people's orchard and took measures to do so while providing his field guidance to the farm in August last year.

He commanded a bird's-eye view of the farm at the observation platform after being briefed on it before the board showing its panoramic view.

While feasting his eyes on the large fruit farm, he said that this is the farm which leader Kim Jong Il left for the people as a patriotic legacy. He added he was moved to tears at the thought of Kim Jong Il whenever he passed this place.

He said that the officials and working people of this farm should always remember the devoted efforts made by Kim Jong Il to provide the people with a sufficient quantity of fresh fruits in all seasons and boost the production of fruits every year and thus glorify his immortal exploits forever and remain true to the noble sense of obligation towards him.

He looked round the fruit farm, saying that the officials and working people of the farm have done a lot of work as they opened up a bright prospect of attaining the goal of fruit production set by the Party this year and, at the same time, supplied the citizens of Pyongyang with early apples.

He said that an unusually rich fruit harvest visited the farm despite unfavorable climatic condition, a sign of the country's prosperity, adding that every apple tree is heavily laden with apples.

He extended his thanks to the officials and working people of the Ministry of People's Security and the farm in the name of the Central Committee of the Party, saying that the farm could harvest the richest-ever fruits because they fully displayed the spirit of devotedly implementing the Party's policy, bearing deep in mind its intention to provide the people with sufficient amount of fruits.

He gave instructions to the farm which would serve as guidelines for managing and operating it.

Feasting again and again his eyes on the houses and cultural and welfare establishments that look in perfect harmony with orchards, he said that the longer one watches them, the more spectacular scenery they present. It is the famous orchard under socialism and a socialist fairyland which can be found in socialist Korea only, he added.

He expressed the expectation and belief that the officials and working people of the farm would produce more fruits for the people.

He was accompanied by O Su Yong, vice-chairman of the WPK Central Committee, and Jo Yong Won, vice department director of the WPK Central Committee.
