Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, inspected a munitions factory producing a major weapon system.

He was accompanied by Jo Yong Won, Member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau and Secretary for Organizational Affairs of the WPK Central Committee, Kim Jong Sik and Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Directors of the WPK Central Committee, and leading officials in the sector of the Academy of Defence Science.

Looking round the room for education in the revolutionary history and various worksites of the factory, the respected General Secretary learned in detail about the recent technical updating and modernization of production processes done by the factory and its current production from leading officials of the factory.

He highly appreciated the factory for arming itself fully with the idea of the 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Party Central Committee and effecting collective innovation and leaping progress in producing major weapons to implement the Party's decisions.

Saying that the factory holds a very important position and duty in modernizing the country's armed forces and realizing the national defence development strategy, he indicated the tasks and ways for steadily developing it into an icon factory symbolic of modernity of the country's defence industry.

He ardently appealed to the workers, technicians, officials and military inspectors of the factory to turn out as one in an all-out drive for thoroughly implementing the munitions policies set forth at the 8th Party Congress by carrying forward the traditions and history of our proud defence industry which has safeguarded the Party and the revolution with munitions production, bearing in their minds the single intention to defend the revolutionary cause of the Party with powerful cutting-edge arms.

All the officials and workers of the factory hardened their pledge to fulfill the honorable mission and duty of being soldiers of the defence industry faithful to the Party who reliably defend the security of the state, cherishing the unwavering will of the respected General Secretary who smashes with his bold pluck the challenges of the U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces trying to violate in every direction our Republic's right to self-defence dearer than life and dedicates his devotion and zeal to the path of the development of the Juche-oriented defence industry for providing a shortcut to the greatest military power in the harshest-ever adversity.
