At the Sunchon Cement Complex, he encouraged officials and workers of the complex in their efforts for increased production to wage a brisk mass technological innovation movement for implementing the first year's tasks of the new five-year plan set forth at the 8th Congress of the WPK.

Looking round different places of the complex including the calcinating shop and cement shop, he stressed the need to thoroughly take sci-tech measures for prioritizing the repair of equipment, dovetailing the processes and raising the productivity.

At the organic compound fertilizer factory and the Yakjon Farm in Sukchon County, he urged agricultural officials to break with formalism and bragging and do their jobs with stress placed on increasing grain production on low-yielding fields and increasing the proportion of mechanization in farming.

The field consultative meetings discussed the measures to lay a foundation for revitalizing cement production by mapping out urgent plans and long-term plans in detail and promoting the updating of equipment and technology. The meetings also called for stepping up the preparations for this year's farming and properly enforcing the field-responsibility-system within the framework of the sub-work team management system.
