After being briefed on the factory before a map showing its panoramic view and a map for mineral water production, he went round the monument to the field guidance of the peerlessly great persons of Mt Paektu to the factory, the room for the education in revolutionary history and the room dedicated to its history.

He said that the factory was associated with the profound loving care of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il for the people as the President personally chose the site of the factory and named the brand of "Kangso Mineral Water" and Kim Jong Il gave instruction for remodeling the factory in the period of the Arduous March and personally solved all problems arising in the project.

Looking around a combined control room, several production work-teams, production exhibition, water source ground, sci-tech learning space and other places, he learned in detail about the production and management of the factory.

To keep production going at a high rate at the factory serves as an important work for demonstrating the advantages of the socialist system of the DPRK which all wealth of the society is directed to promoting the wellbeing of the people, he said.

Noting that factory has a very important duty and role to play in protecting and promoting health of the people, he set forth tasks facing the factory.

He expressed the expectation and conviction that the officials and employees of the factory would mass-produce the famous Kangso mineral water good for people's health and send more mineral water to the people before having a photo session with them.

Accompanying him were An Jong Su, Kim Yong Su and Jo Yong Won, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
