Standing on the dam of the power station, he was very pleased that the completion of the power station opened a bright prospect for successfully realizing the desire of leader Kim Jong Il who was so concerned for the improvement of the standard of the living of the people in Kangwon Province.

Going round the room dedicated to the history of the power station and the generators room, the control room, etc. of Wonsan Army-People Power Station No. 2, he learnt in detail about its construction, electricity production and supply.

He said that the power station was well designed and constructed at a high level.

Highly praising the people in Kangwon Province for building the power station as a splendid monumental structure by their own efforts, he noted that what they performed constitutes a precious treasure which would go down in the history of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) as it recorded a brilliant page in the history of the building of a rich and powerful nation.

He gave the power station instructions which would serve as guidelines for managing and operating it.

Noting the officials, party members and other people in Kangwon Province who built another power station with very large capacity are the indomitable fighters who proved in practice the great vitality of the self-development-first principle, he reposed the deepest trust in them by calling them creators of the spirit of Kangwon Province and urging all other people of the country to learn from their example.

He highly appreciated the feats the Kangwon Provincial Party Committee performed by proving in practice through the construction of the power station that one can create anything out of nothing if one dynamically conducts the organizational and political work among popular masses.

He underscored the need for all Party organizations to powerfully arouse the Party members and other people to create the Mallima speed, regarding the last instructions of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and the Party policies as a lifeline in the general advance for implementing the decision made at the 7th Party Congress just as the Kangwon Provincial Party Committee has done and thus bring earlier the shining victory in the drive for building a powerful socialist country.

Noting his trust in the people in Kangwon Province grew deeper and his expectation for them got stronger, he encouraged them to put increased spurs to creation and construction, not resting on their laurels, but to become an example to be followed by the whole country in all aspects.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK, vice-chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and vice-chairman of the WPK Central Committee, O Su Yong, member of the Political Bureau and vice-chairman of the WPK Central Committee, Kim Yong Su, department director of the WPK Central Committee, and Jo Yong Won, vice department director of the WPK Central Committee.
