Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- A meeting was held in the DPRK on June 21 to mark the 70th founding anniversary of the Transmission Line Laying Station.

At the meeting, a congratulatory message from the WPK Central Committee to the workers, technicians and officials of the station was read out by Jon Hyon Chol.

The WPK Central Committee said in the message that the 70-year history of the station, which started its operation with the laying of transmission lines for the wartime munitions production in May Juche 41 (1952) when the Fatherland Liberation War was at its height, is shining with the heroic life and undying feats of its workers, technicians and officials who have taken the lead in the struggle to carry into practice the Party's plan for building a thriving nation.
