He was informed of the construction project, looking at the general layout plan, and looked round the construction site as a whole, including a hotel, self-cooking lodging blocks and service facilities, to acquaint himself with the progress of the project.

Noting that buildings look separated and are little different from each other in height, he pointed to the need to make the height of buildings different, plan 30-storey and 25-storey hotels and other service buildings more and ensure that the connection between buildings is more harmonious and original, so as to polish the overall street layout in an artistic way.

Referring to the afforestation of the area, he told accompanying officials to make a nice design for afforestation on the principle of mixing trees of good species to suit the surrounding ecological environment of the coast and to carry out afforestation according to the plan.

He pointed out that efforts should be made to build infrastructure qualitatively so that it could be a model.

Looking at the artificial ponds of sea water, he said that they should be made well to fit the surrounding environment and be looked natural, adding that the people will be pleased if there are angling sites and service facilities around the ponds.

He also gave instructions to provide all necessary conditions, including first-aid stations at the sections of sea-bathing on the white sandy shore.

It is the Party's long-cherished idea and one of the projects he has longed for the most to build wonderful recreational resorts on the scenic shores of our country so as to let the people enjoy themselves to the full, he said, adding that now it will soon come true.

Such a huge and grand creation campaign as the construction of the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area is an acute showdown with hostile forces trying to stifle the Korean people through outrageous sanctions and embargo, he said, and it is also a do-or-die fight to defend the prestige of the Party and a worthwhile endeavour for bringing happiness to the people. If such a magnificent project is completed surpassing the world's advanced level at such a difficult time as now, he noted, the strength of the single-minded unity of the Party, army and people will be displayed to the whole world once again and the coastal tourist area will be a very nice gift to our people.

He called for building a unique sea park in the world by keeping fortitude and strong courage and for presenting it to the people as a gift on the occasion of October 10 next year.

Saying with a big smile on his face that Myongsasipri (4-kilomtre sandy beach) is likely to become Inphasipri (4-kilometre stream of people), he pictured in his mind the looks of greatly excited people, youth and schoolchildren who will enjoy the new civilization of our times to the full under the benevolent care of the Party.

He was accompanied by Army General Kim Su Gil, director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, Hwang Pyong So, first deputy department director of the WPK Central Committee, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and Kim Yong Su, deputy department directors of the WPK Central Committee, Kim Chang Son, department director of the State Affairs Commission, and Ma Won Chun, bureau director of the SAC.
