He looked round the room for the education in the revolutionary history and the room dedicated to the history of the factory.

Looking at the historic mementoes with keen attention, he recollected with deep emotion the undying exploits leader Kim Jong Il performed for the development of the factory.

Noting that the factory is associated with Kim Jong Il's noble loving care for the people, Kim Jong Un called upon its officials and employees to add glory to the undying feats of Kim Jong Il with signal successes in production.

He went round the combined control room, assembling shop and other places of the factory to acquaint himself in detail with production and quality of products. Then he set forth the tasks facing the factory.

The factory has a very important duty, he said, underscoring the need for it to wage a dynamic drive not only for keeping the production going at a high rate but also for thoroughly guaranteeing the quality of products and turning out varieties of syringes.

He instructed the factory to update it as required by the age of knowledge-based economy in order to increase the production of syringes systemically and produce various sizes of those products and needles for diverse uses as many as it wishes.

It is the Party's intention to modernize the factory so that it may be a model and standard of the nation's medical appliances factory, he noted, underlining the need to turn the factory into the world-level one producing syringes.

It is necessary to hold high the banner of self-development-first principle, the banner of locally producing things in the work for updating the factory, he said, calling on its officials and employees to build modern technological processes with indigenous efforts and technology by pooling creative wisdom with scientists and technicians in the relevant field.

The level of medical service largely depends on how to provide medical appliances, the main means for preventive and curative medical care, he said, adding that the Party would take necessary measures to ensure that more good quality syringes and instillators are produced so they may be sufficiently provided to the service members and civilians.

He called for directing sustained great efforts to the work for consolidating the material and technical foundation of Juche-based public health, the healthcare for the people, including the construction of more modern medical appliances producers based on the cutting-edge scientific and technological successes so as to enable the people to fully benefit from the socialist healthcare system.

He expressed the expectation and belief that the officials and employees of the factory would positively contribute to giving the fullest play to the advantages and might of the socialist healthcare system.

He was accompanied by So Hong Chan and Jo Yong Won.
